Screen printing establishments apply ink through mesh screens onto substrates — commonly T-shirts, caps, jackets, and promotional items, as well as stationery, labels, and similar stock materials — on a job-order basis. Day-to-day work involves artwork preparation, screen exposure, press setup, printing runs, curing (often via heat tunnel or UV lamp), and finishing. Chemical solvents and inks are present in the work environment, and customer-supplied goods are routinely held on premises during production.
