Rotary screen printing

In the mid 1950s a new type of screen printing method involving a cylindrical screen was developed.

Rotary screen printing involves a series of revolving screens, each with revolving screens, each with a stationary squeegee inside which forces the print paste onto the fabric. Twenty or more colours can be printed at the same time. The process is much quicker and more efficient than flat screen printing. Since the 1970s it has grown to dominate the textile printing market.
