Screen Printing / Silk-Screening
An image is transferred to the
printed surface by ink, which is pressed through a stenciled screen and
treated with a light-sensitive emulsion. Film positives are put in
contact with the screens and exposed to light, hardening the emulsion
not covered by film and leaving a soft area on the screen for the
squeegee to press ink through. You must create a different screen for
every color you are going to print and screen each color separately
allowing drying time in between.
