Digital Print

Minimum quantities and colours are a thing of the past

We employ the very latest digital print technology to provide a digital textile print service for short runs and production scale projects. We currently have a total of 11 digital printing machines in use in Macclesfield – 2 Monna Lisa and 9 Mimaki systems. Digitally printing presents no limitations on colour and through our specialist software we are able to colour match from monitor to printed fabric, a large selection of which we hold in year round stock.

We offer more than just digital print services

We work with Designers, Technicians, Buyers and more

Screen Printing

With over 37 years experience in the screen printing field, RA Smart are market leaders in the various technical processes that can only be achieved using the screen print process – Devoré, flocking, dye and discharge printing, foiling and metallics. To compliment this process, RA Smart also offer a dyeing service, both by the metre and yarn packages. Some of these screen printing techniques are applied equally to wall coverings. We find that a number of customers in both the fashion and furnishing sectors enjoy the flexibility of creating a collection that includes both screen prints and digital prints, creating and exciting variety to their collections.

Screen Making

Established for over 30 years, we have the largest screen-stretching machine in the country with the capability to stretch a frame 9 meters x 3 metres. At the other end of the scale we have a very flexible hand-stretching machine which will stretch screens as small as 250 x 250mm. We offer a nationwide stretching service for both the textile and graphics sectors, as well as the supply of new frames in aluminium or our special “D” section steel, designed especially for screen manufacture and giving greater strength to weight ratio than any other product, All steel frames are electrostatic powder coated with a chemical resistant epoxy polyester to withstand the rigors of the modern print industry.
