Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Friday, November 2, 2012

A few methods are available when making custom flags. The screen printing approach is currently one of the most popular because it is easy and quick. The process can be done by hand, digital imaging or machine.

Custom flags are usually printed using the approach together with woven polyester, nylon, knitted polyester and other materials that are generally used in making flags.

In the first step, the design is laid out on the computer for the filming machine. If the maker intends to use two colors, he should also use two films created from the filming machine. One color will need one film. The film is also treated with light to create the printing plate. If two colors in the custom flag layout will be used, two plates will also be necessary. The approach is similar to the old manner of making photos by treating the negatives in a dark space. A halftone is another name for the printing plate.

The colors will need CMYK powder. These are mixed together using a machine. To make the formula, you need to use 60%K, 30%C, 20%M and 40%Y as well as cataplasm. As soon as the colors are evenly mixed, these are ready for treatment.

The flag fabric will be put on a flat bed or on a long flat bed top depending on the size and amount. The treatment and application of the colors will be done by hand. Application is also done separately.

The plate is finally screened and the color dye placed properly through the plate’s open spaces and the custom flag material.
