Textile Printing
The Autotype Textile Range
The complete range:
The Autotype Textile range has everything you need to make the perfect screen. This integrated range of screen emulsions and chemicals work perfectly to ensure that you get the result you expect, every time.
Degreasers
A well degreased screen is critical for long print runs. A few minutes spent preparing the screen will dramatically improve the durability of that screen and prevent costly remakes.
Emulsions
The stencil is the heart of the process and a good quality stencil can literally make the difference between a profit and a loss. Select the best PLUS emulsion for your application based on the inks you are using and the type of printing you do.
