Screen Printing
Silk screen printing, also known as
serigraphy, is the method used for creating impact
making prints. London Displays, the leader in low cost
large format printing and graphic design in the UK

Known as screen process printing nowadays, silk screen
printing uses a fabric screen and a stencil through
which ink is pressed. The process is called
silk screen
printing and the mesh or screen was made of natural silk
during its early days. But nowadays it is made from
polyester, stainless steel or nylon. Earlier silk screen
printing was mainly used for flags, banners and for
point of sales advertising in chain stores.
Silk screen printing steps are as follows:
-
Prepare a stencil with the desired
design or text cut out so that the ink passes only
through the part that has been cut.
-
Put the work piece under the screen
-
Ink is applied at the top of the
screen and fill bar is used to fill the mesh openings
with ink
-
An applicator is used to force the
ink through the silk screen and the prepared stencil
onto the material to be printed.
-
The work piece is carefully removed
from beneath the screen.
Apart from being a professional printing technique, silk
screen printing can be viewed as an art or as a hobby.
