• After design, there are still many steps required to prepare screens for screen printing

• Many steps are required for EACH sign to be ready for application to the substrate. The more colors needed, the more steps required

• Sign requests with variable information or intricate details are impossible or extremely time consuming to create

• Screen printing requires additional dry time

• Many steps are labor-intensive, manual processes

• EC Film material waste from weeding • Transfer film required• Screen printing uses a lot of ink and cleaning

solution with strong odor • Printing plates required

• Human error increases as a result of more labor-intensive processes

• When overlam is applied to several layers of EC Film, the ridges along the edges cause gaps and signs that don’t perform

• Each order may include several different processes to be completed increasing turn-around time

• Screen printing is unsuitable for small lot runs
