serigraph

Squeegeed ink image

A serigraph is a print made by the silkscreen process, where ink is forced through a fine mesh onto paper or fabric.

The term emphasizes the artistic rather than commercial application of screen printing: The gallery featured serigraphs by Andy Warhol.

Artists value the technique for its bold colors and crisp edges.
