screen print

Squeegee ink method

Screen print is a printing technique where ink is pushed through a mesh stencil onto a surface beneath—typically fabric, paper, or posters.

The method produces bold, flat colors and is favored for T-shirts, art prints, and signage.

As a verb, to screen print is to produce something using this process: We screen printed five hundred concert posters.

Also called silk screen or serigraphy.
