silkscreen printing

Silkscreen printing is a technique for reproducing images by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen onto a surface below.

Areas of the screen are blocked to create the design—ink passes only through open sections.

Each color requires a separate screen.

The method works on paper, fabric, glass, and other materials, making it popular for posters, T-shirts, and fine art prints.

Also called screen printing or serigraphy.
