What is screen printing?
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a surface.
- The screen is made of a fine mesh, typically made of nylon or polyester.
- A stencil is created on the screen, which blocks the ink from passing through in certain areas.
- The ink is then applied to the screen, and a squeegee is used to force the ink through the open areas of the stencil and onto the surface below.
- Screen printing can be used to print on a variety of surfaces, including paper, fabric, plastic, and metal.
- It is a versatile technique that can be used to create both simple and complex designs.
