RDC Fabrication Labs Imaging and Printmaking Equipment
Transfer designs onto just about anything with one swipe.
Screen printing is a traditional printmaking technique that involves transferring ink through a fine mesh screen with the aid of a stencil. This process allows for precise and vibrant designs to be reproduced on a wide range of materials, including fabrics, paper, plastics, and more. Are you prototyping merchandise or need to create marketing materials to promote a student organization? Our screen printing equipment is a popular choice among students for its durability, affordability, and ability to achieve rich, layered effects.
With this lab, you’ll be on your way to creating handmade custom apparel, posters, and artwork that is perfect for eye-catching swag.
