A screen printer is a shop (or company) that prints T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other clothing items with designs.
The screen printer uses a variety of printing techniques to create an image and text on a garment.
These techniques include silk screening, in which ink is pushed through a screen onto an inked-up garment, and discharge printing, in which ink is pushed through the screen onto the garment and is then removed by an ozone generator.
The printer can also apply heat-transfer printing, in which ink is pushed through a mesh screen and onto a garment, or direct-to-garment printing.
