Screen Printing Kit - All You Need to Know

Screen Printing Kit - All You Need to Know

If you’re thinking of getting into the fine art of silkscreen printing, it might be a good idea to invest in a screen printing kit. 
With these kits, you get all the essential tools to begin printing your own designs onto garments. The best part is that they can be upgraded so you can add to what you already have.

Not only that, but screen printing kits can prove much cheaper than buying each component individually. 

But what other benefits do buy a screen printing kit involve? Quite a few, actually. We’ve listed them all below. 

Why You Should Get One

Aside from being the ideal way to start your fabric printing journey, you should get a screen printing kit for other reasons. 
Not only will you familiarise yourself with the printing technique much quicker, but you can also create custom designs of high quality with a lot more confidence. 

Shirt printing can be fun but also tricky, and having all the equipment in front of you makes it much easier to deal with and not be overwhelmed by what silk mesh count is best or whether to use metal or wooden frames. 

It is also much more budget-friendly. Choosing each part of the kit and paying for it individually would be a lot more expensive, not to mention you probably wouldn’t even know where to start.

Also, being new to printing work, you won’t be knowledgable in the varying types of equipment you can acquire or which piece is ideal for what job you want to use it for. 

With a screen printing kit, all of that is done for you. No mess, no fuss. Considering the many reasons you should get the screen printing kit, the question isn’t why you should get one, it becomes ‘why wouldn’t  you get one?’
