Exploring Screen Printing for Businesses

By Eva Janckila

Screen printing is an ancient art form that originates from China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It was used to decorate fabric and other surfaces with decorative motifs by pushing ink through a silk mesh screen. Modern screen printing is much the same as it was in the past; however, nowadays the mesh is a synthetic rather than a natural fiber. Screen printing is a popular technique used by many businesses and individuals for making custom apparel. It can be used to decorate everything from T-shirts and posters to mugs and signs.

In the apparel industry, screen printing is used to apply graphics and logos to clothing items. Screen printing can be done with a variety of different ink types such as puff or metallic, which, when used properly, can accentuate certain areas of the design to be printed. Screen printing is also great for creating high quantities of items with the same design, making it ideal for businesses who need to produce many items quickly and efficiently. Whatever your needs may be, screen printing remains a popular choice because of its versatility, cost effec tiveness and durability. With its long history and many uses, it is easy to see why screen printing remains a popular choice for many businesses and individuals today. QCBN opportunity to make new friends and possibly even future playdates for your dogs. My dog is really friendly and will pretty much try to love on everybody she meets. There are a couple people in the senior community near my apartment who are always sitting outside when Cassidy and I are out, and she runs right up to them. They get such a kick out of it and love spending time with her, while she’s loving on them. It’s good for her and them!

Perhaps the greatest benefit of taking your dog out for a walk is the one-on-one time you have together. My dog is learning to trust me more when I say “it’s OK, I got you” if she sees a bigger dog, or a loud car or truck goes by and spooks her. I love when we’re walking and she’s ahead of me and stops and looks at me to make sure I’m there and then we continue on. It’s almost like she’s saying, “Come on, mom, let’s do this together.” Taking your dog for walks every day offers the opportunity for both of you to continue to bond, which helps create a strong and happy relationship. Your dog is also likely to be more well-behaved and listen to you better when you have a good, strong bond. It’s fun to watch her explore new things that she sees or smells, and sometimes I have to chuckle at her curiosity, especially when she’s looking at something and then looks up at me almost as if to say, “What’s this?” She’s made me try to look at the world with the same curiosity as she has, and it has made me a think about even the simplest things a little differently. Who knew walking your dog could do so much?

If you’re looking for a walking buddy, there are a lot of them waiting for you, and a new home, at Yavapai Humane Society! Visit our website at yavapaihumane.org to see all their pictures and then make an appointment at 928-445-2666 to come meet your new best friend. QCBN
