The Secret Art Of Screen Printing

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Printing is a process of producing pictures and text, usually using ink, paper and a printing press. Over time, printing technology has improved significantly. Various techniques are available, but screen-printing is used most of the time.

Screen-printing, also referred to as silk screening, is a method that is best for surfaces that are comparatively flat. In this process, fine mesh or a screen is tightly stretched over a rigid frame, with the screen masking areas which will not be printed. In order to make a print, the screen is placed atop the item that is to be printed; then a blob of thick ink is applied. Next the ink is pressed through the screen with the assistance of a squeegee. The ink adheres to the unmasked area, thereby creating the print, and the masked area is shielded from ink incursion. After this, the printed item goes through a heated tunnel that dries the ink so that items can be stacked or put into packages.

When more than one color is involved, the process is repeated, utilizing different screens. So, four screens would be necessary for a four-color print; they can be placed on a rotary press or done by hand, allowing each color to print in its proper place.

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Button badges and clothing are examples of excellent promotional or corporate gifts. This is because they are seen by many more people than just those you give them to. If they are given out at large company functions, sporting events, at the beach, or any other place where a lot of people will gather, they are the most ideal way to promote your company or brand.

Company sponsored events go automatically with corporate gifts like button badges. If you are planning a big community event (such as a big walk, fun run or company picnic), you should know there should be enough button badges and promotional clothing to be given out. It is usual that people who go to these events automatically expect that they will receive items such as button badges & other promotional products. If they do not receive such items, they usually end up thinking negatively of your business.

Name tags & button badges portray an important function. They not only get attention to your logo; people at the event are easily identifiable as well. If you create a button badge or name tag, put your logo on it. This not only gives you an opportunity to advertise your brand; it also makes everybody feel that they are part of the same event.

Which DJ Deck To Pick?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

The temptation of developing into a top flight DJ is understandable; getting the attention of hundreds maybe thousands of party animals all awaiting another song and dancing away to beats and songs. Getting going, however, could be complicated: rookies need to point out the best DJ gear and choose their favorite melodic genre.

It doesn’t really matter the kind of music you pick because the right equipment is the most important part of becoming a good DJ.

DJ-ing in the present days is done in three major ways, each method employing a specialized kind of equipment.

Are You Up For Mandarin Language Classes?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Learn Mandarin classes? I’ve paid and finished many. I even stayed in Beijing for six months just to attend learn Mandarin classes.

You know what? I never learned that much! At that time, I was using Chinesepod (it’s something you put on your ipod and listen) at the same time while learning in classrooms during daytime. My vocabulary increased a bit, my phrases got a bit better but overall, I was still not fluent and had a hard time understanding people…and actually talking in full sentences.

I took learn Mandarin classes mainly because I knew it would be the best choice. It was the logical choice because we were brought up learning in a classroom.

My time was coming to an end. Beijing was slipping away and I still haven’t learned much. My tongue was just too stiff I guess. I knew they spend their hard earned money on me just to be able to attend those learn Mandarin classes and I was getting worried they’d slap the heck out of me when I go back home.
