Screen printing, also known as silk screening or serigraphy, is a printing technique that involves transferring ink or coating onto a substrate (such as paper, or plastic) through a mesh screen. It is a versatile and widely used method for producing high-quality prints with vibrant colors, precise details, and excellent registration.

The process begins with creating a stencil, which is made of a fine mesh screen stretched tightly over a frame. The stencil defines the design or pattern to be printed. Areas of the stencil that correspond to the image to be printed or coated are left open, allowing ink or coating to pass through. The rest of the stencil is impermeable, blocking the ink.

To print a design, the screen is positioned over the substrate, and ink or coating is poured onto the screen’s top edge. A squeegee is then used to pull the ink across the screen, forcing it through the open areas of the stencil and onto the substrate below. The ink coating lays uniformly on the substrate’s surface, creating the desired print.

Screen printing offers several advantages, including the ability to print on a wide range of surfaces, like marketing materials, signage, and promotional items. Screen printing with specialty coatings and inks is an excellent way to enhance your printed materials.
