Screen Printing

Screenprinting is the process of printing through the surface of fiber such as silk or polyester stretched tightly over a frame. Images are created by stencil method, which can be combinations of hand-drawn and photographic techniques. The screen frame is hinged to a base or table, and with the use of a squeegee, the image is printed by forcing the ink through the open areas of the screen onto the surface of the paper positioned under the screen frame. Screenprinting may be applicable to many surfaces or materials.
