Screen Printing Process

Screen Printing for a Greener Approach to Fashion

	We now screen print all of our fabric products in house at the CFW headquarters and Her Space on Yugambeh country in Springwood, Queensland. This is the CFW hub where the operations team are based and where we provide training for other organisations and the community around Domestic and Family Violence and mental health wellness.
	We attach our screens to the rig, pop it down on the t shirt, add some paint and pull it over the stencil.  We leave it to dry and print the other side and then heat press to make sure it doesn't wash out. We reuse the screens so we don't need to go through the first part of the process every time we print.

 

Thank you to Polygon Cowboy for showing us the ropes. 

This process has allowed us to cut down our outlay costs for different editions and create a greater variety of products. We'll also be using the equipment to provide screen printing classes to our community as part of our community engagement program.
