Screen printing learning program​

Learn screen printing practically, in a real production environment. The training program includes both theoretical and practical parts and will fully familiarize you with the screen printing process - from design preparation and screen manufacturing to printing on various materials, including drying and final quality control.

Two main programs have been selected for training: Basic Screen Printing Course and Special Course on Full-Color (CMYK) Printing on Textiles.

The Basic Course is intended for beginners, but it is no less interesting and useful for printers already employed in screen printing enterprises who aim to deepen their knowledge and improve their professional qualifications.
