Screen Printing
Screen printing is a process in which images are created through a type of stencil process. Artwork is separated into its different colors, and then screens are "burned" with all the different color separations. Since the different colors have to be lined up perfectly, the art work is limited to the number of screen any specific printing machine can hold. The average printing shops usually have machines that will hold up to six screens, allowing printing of artwork up to six colors.
Heat Transfer
Heat transfer is a process in which art work is printed with specialty ink on specialty paper and then transferred to a garment by applying heat with a heat press. Because of this process, full color images can be applied to garments.
I know what you're thinking, "Why not just use heat transfer it sounds better and easier?" With the recent advancements in heat transfer technologies, it is a very good process to use for garment production. However, it is a time consuming process. Each item produced requires an average of three minutes to produce. With screen printing the initial set up will take a little longer, but after that, each garment can be produced in a matter of seconds.

Image of object formed by a lens on the screen is not in sharp focus suggest a method to get clear focusing of the image on the screen without disturbing the position of the object lens or the screen?
You could insert a second lens in the focal path, between the object and the first lens. The second lens can be designed (or moved) to focus the image on the screen. This is the same function that eyeglasses do for people with poor vision. The second lens, the eyeglasses, are inserted between the viewed object and the lens of the eyes. The second lens is designed to correct the distortion of the eye lens, thus creating an in-focus object on the "screens" of the eyes.
