Screen-printing

Screen-printing, also known as silkscreening or serigraphy, is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged single-color image using a stencil and a porous fabric. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.

Versatility

Screen printing is more versatile than traditional printing techniques. The surface does not have to be printed under pressure, as in etching or lithography, nor does it have to be planar. Screen printing inks can be formulated to work with a variety of materials, such as textiles, ceramics, metal, wood, paper, glass, and plastic. As a result, screen printing is used in a wide variety of industries, from clothing to product labels to circuit board printing.
