silk-screen printing
Squeegee through mesh
Silk-screen printing is a technique for reproducing images by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen onto a surface below.
A stencil blocks certain areas so ink passes only where the design should appear.
The method works on paper, fabric, glass, and other materials.
Also called screen printing or serigraphy.
