How Print Speed Impacts Quality in Screen Printing

When you’re producing screen printed clothing, speed matters - but only if it doesn’t come at the expense of quality. At Vektor, we’ve built our production process to deliver both quick turnarounds and professional, retail-quality results.

What Does Print Speed Mean in Screen Printing?

Print speed refers to how many garments can be printed per hour - and in professional setups like ours, that can be up to 300 prints an hour depending on the design, fabric and ink type.

It’s a combination of the right equipment, skilled printers and perfectly tuned screens that keeps everything running smoothly.

The Balance Between Speed and Quality

Fast printing doesn’t mean cutting corners. In fact, achieving high speed requires more precision, not less. Here’s how we balance both:

• Consistent Screen Tension: Keeps detail sharp at high speed (no smudging or ghosting).
• Efficient Ink Curing: Ensures every print is properly dried before stacking or shipping.
• Automated Equipment: Helps us maintain consistency across large print runs.
• Skilled Technicians: Adjust for variables like fabric thickness, humidity, and ink flow.
