Ultimate versatility at highest precision

Screen printing remains the dominant printing technology used in military textiles. The diversity of end product requirements demands high flexibility in the use of color chemistry and chemical additives. Especially in camouflage gear, e.g. uniforms, where different blends of cotton with polyester or nylon are used, screen printing delivers unrivalled advantages in color gamut and fastness.
