screenprinted

Mesh-pushed ink method

Screenprinted describes something decorated or marked using screenprinting—a technique where ink is pushed through a mesh stencil onto a surface.

The term typically applies to textiles, posters, and art prints: a screenprinted t-shirt, screenprinted concert posters.

The method produces bold, flat colors and is favored for its handmade quality and durability.

Also spelled screen-printed.
