Screen Printing
Screen printing is a textile printing technique that involves using mesh to transfer ink to a textile. A blade similar to a “squeegee” is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh spaces with ink. Then, a reverse stroke causes the screen to touch the textile.
In the screen-printing process, only one color can be imprinted at a time, which means that for multicolored projects, several screens are needed for the image or design to be completed.
