Expensive Silk Screen Printing for Small Material Quantities Affecting Sales

Silk screen printing is one of the major applications of photo emulsion. This technique is very economical for large quantities, is durable and can be used to print on many different items. However, silk screen printing can be expensive for applications involving small quantities, in designs that have too many colors, and it does not work with gradient colors. As such, new startups in the Europe photo emulsion market involving customized printing of t-shirts and DIY (do-it-yourself) home t-shirt printing are anticipated to fuel the demand for photo emulsions.

The increasing online content about screen printing and screen making at home is predicted to boost the sales of photo emulsion products. New brand launch and t-shirt making startups are contributing to the growth of the Europe photo emulsion market.

Analysts’ Viewpoint

Companies in the Europe photo emulsion market are conducting strategic allocation of raw materials and resources to adapt to volatile demand and supply of products. Photo emulsion sheets have a comparatively lesser learning curve than liquid emulsions. However, these sheets have a shelf life of only a few months and need to be away from light sources until ready to use. Hence, companies should increase awareness about the convenience of photo emulsion sheets and strategically market products as per the specific demand for sheets and liquids. Moreover, textile screen printing is being revolutionized with innovative chemical characteristics in liquids with glitter for high-density applications.
