The Complete Package

Screen Colour Systems offer a complete pre press solution to the screen printer who has limited resources. See the services listed below which can help you produce excellent screen prints onto many different substrates.

Positive Generation

We offer a film positive printing service. Supply us with your digital art work files and we will create the film positives for making the stencils. To reduce the cost of this procedure please ensure that the art work has solid black files (with no colour) and saved at the correct size. Multi-coloured line artworks must be separated into individual files, one for each colour. A layout diagram should be provided, showing how the films are to be positioned onto the screen(s).

Tonal images will be created in half tone films @ 55 d.p.i. unless otherwise specified.

We can seperate full colour photographic artworks into four colour process films, in various dot sizes and shapes.

All artwork(s) should be sent into us in .pdf format. We can use .pdf files from both PCs and Macs.

Stencil Making

We offer screen cleaning as part of our stencil making service. For a nominal fee we can re-cycle your used screens, strip, clean and make ready for coating. Alternatively you can supply us with screens ready to use, or we can supply you with a new screen.

The frames are coated with a light sensitive emulsion, dried and then exposed according to your instructions.

Customers are advised that it is their resposibility to "spot out" the stencil before printing.

Screen Stretching

We offer a screen re-meshing service. Old frames that are still usable with torn or blocked mesh can be re-meshed for less then the price of a new screen.

For customers within the M25 we collect your frames, free of charge. For customers outside the M25, please send us your frames. The frames will be returned subject to our standard delivery charges. (see Price Lists Page).
