Textile Screen Printing

Korea's Best Screen Printing Technology by Taihan Textile

Screen Printing is a traditional textile printing technique that pushes ink through mesh screens onto fabric. Each color requires a separate screen, prepared sequentially for multi-color designs. Despite requiring more upfront preparation, screen printing remains the industry standard for its vivid color intensity, exceptional durability, and cost efficiency in mass production.

Taihan Textile possesses "Korea's best print processing technology" with nearly 40 years of screen printing expertise since launching printing operations in 1987.

Key Benefits of Screen Printing

Superior Color Intensity & Durability

Screen printing deposits thick, dense ink layers producing vivid, powerful colors. Ink firmly bonds to fabric surface, maintaining color integrity through dozens of wash cycles with grade 4-5 fastness.

Cost Efficiency in Mass Production

While initial screen preparation costs apply, per-yard costs decrease significantly when printing identical designs in large volumes. Overwhelming cost advantages for thousands to tens of thousands of yards.

Diverse Specialty Ink Applications

Beyond standard dye inks, apply various special effect inks including metallic, fluorescent, puff (3D raised), glitter, and foaming inks for unique fabric effects.

Precise Pattern Registration Accuracy

Through CAD/CAM system (introduced 1993) and skilled technicians, Taihan achieves precise registration even in multi-color printing without color misalignment.

The Taihan Textile Daegu factory operates 9 flat screen printing machines—the largest single-facility installation in Korea.
