Embracing Automated Screen Printing
2024-09-24 · Cowichan Souvenir Printing Team

Automated screen printing combines precision with speed. By standardizing off‑contact, squeegee pressure, and flash temperatures, we achieve consistent color laydown from the first shirt to the last.
Benefits for retailers
- Cleaner lines and brighter inks that photograph beautifully
- Predictable replenishment cycles for busy seasons
- Eco‑conscious practices with reduced misprints and reclaim cycles
We pair automation with hand‑finished details, including careful folding, size stickers, and our t shirt in a tube program that simplifies merchandising on the sales floor.
Ink systems and color management
Our press teams follow calibrated screens, mesh counts, and Pantone targets to keep branding consistent across reorders. We choose inks based on fabric, hand feel, and wash durability, always prioritizing vivid results that look great under store lighting.
Sustainability in practice
Tight registration reduces waste, while optimized curing profiles save energy. Reclaimed screens and efficient changeovers keep runs lean so retailers receive reliable quality with fast turnarounds.
