Hainsworth have it’s own in house design and screen printing department. Here a mask of the design is produced and exposed onto a nylon meshed screen which after treating and washing produces a design that is stenciled into the open mesh of the screen. Coloured inks are then passed across the screen using squeegees to apply the ink through the open sections of the mesh onto the fabric.

Various types of inks and pastes can be used dependant on the design application criteria.
