1. silkscreen

   Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design. Traditionally, silk was used in the process. Currently, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen printing process. The most popular mesh in general use is made of polyester. There are special-use mesh materials of nylon and stainless steel available to the screen-printer. There are also different types of mesh size which will determine the outcome and look of the finished design on the material. The technique is used not only for garment printing but for printing on many other substances, including decals, clock and watch faces, balloons, and many other products. Advanced uses include laying down conductors and resistors in multi-layer circuits using thin ceramic layers as the substrate.

1. silkscreen

   Silkscreen, also known as serigraphy or screen printing, is a printing technique that involves pressing ink through a stenciled mesh screen to create a printed design. It's called silkscreen because traditionally, silk was used in the process. Today, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen. This method is typically used for mass-production of graphic prints, posters, t-shirts and other printed textiles due to its ability to produce vibrant colors even on darker fabrics.
