T-shirts are  screen printed, meaning ink is pushed through a screen in the right  places to put the ink on the T-shirt. Screen printing is a tedious  process. Multiple coats of emulsion are put on both  sides of a screen, then it is stored to air dry in a dark environment.  Then a black transparency (positive) is printed in the dark room. This  positive is placed on the screen. The screen is then burned in an  exposure unit. Then the screen is sprayed with water  to remove the emulsion in the non-exposed portion. This leaves the area  that ink can go through. The screen must dry again. Then it is taped,  and ink is put on it. After the ink is put on the product, and the job  is finished, the screen is cleaned. This is  a chemical process and requires using a power washer. This is done for  each job.
