Where
you are: What
Is Screen/Silkscreen Printing? The need for a heavy ink consistency and, as you might
expect, a course halftone screen restricts reproduction
quality. However, the process offers high-opacity and brilliant color
possibilities. The process is ideal for banners, T-shirts, posters and
most any other surface you can think of. The downside is that it is not
a highly automated process and the amount of detail one can achieve is
somewhat limited. Like letterpress printing,
this process is very popular in school workshops. |

creen
(or silkscreen, as it is sometimes called) printing primarily uses a hand
or electronically-prepared stencil. The part that is to be printed is
made up of silk, nylon or a stainless-steel mesh. Ink can pass through
this area but not through the other part of the stencil which is contained
inside a frame. The printing surface is placed under the frame on a flat
surface. The impression is made by forcing the ink through the screen
area with a rubber squeegee.
