(Silk screen printing) A printing process by which ink is applied to a surface by forcing it through a fine mesh screen made of silk or a synthetic substitute.
A popular method of imprinting that requires a special ink to be applied onto a screen, which is a porous, mesh-like fabric. The screen only allows the ink to pass through the areas of the design template, hence the logo/artwork is transferred onto the item.
Printing process by which a screen is first prepared with the pattern for each color in the design. A metal roller forces the color ink onto the fabric or material where the holes in the screen have not been covered.
A type of printmaking in which a stretched screen, (usually silk or synthetic) squeegee and stencil are used with ink to create print copies on paper.
In flexo, refers to any tone printing work (halftone).
In the Screen Printing process, a squeegee is used to force ink through a selectively masked fabric screen that is used as a stencil. Screen Printing provides the most vivid, color-fast image of all printing types and offers good durability. Additional protection from UV, chemicals, and/or abrasion can be obtained with overlamination. Also known as silk screening.
This is a printing technique in which, with the aid of a frame of small mesh wirenetting, texts and logo's can be printed on our sheeting.
Screen printing is a method that is used to print on smooth, flat materials. The colour is printed direct on the part through a silk/gauze screen.
Historically one of the oldest and simplest forms of printing. A print is made by using a squeegee to force ink through a stencil or emulsion that's supported by fabric stretched over a frame to create a screen. Although also referred to as silk screening, several synthetic fabrics have replaced silk as the fabric of choice for screen printers.
A technique which involves the passage of pigment through a fabric to which a pattern stencil has been applied.
A screen is made of a fine mesh onto which paste color is forced through the screen onto the receiving fabric.
The application of ink to the surface of glass through a screen or mesh. The ink may be applied uniformly to the entire surface or in a design determined by the mesh stencil.
a process in which ink is transferred through small openings in a screen that is created by a stencil. The ink only flows through the open image areas of the screen onto the substrate that is being printed.
A printing process also called silk screening, where ink is transferred through a porous screen, such as nylon, onto the surface to be decorated. An emulsion or stencil is used to block out the negative, or non-printing areas of the screen. A squeegee forces ink through the open areas of the screen and onto the paper, plastic, cardboard, wood, fabric, glass, or other material.
A process for transferring an image to a surface by forcing suitable media through a stencil screen with a squeegee. Also called Silk Screening.
A process of transferring paint or dye to a fabric. A mesh screen is pulled tightly across a frame. A squeegee moves the pigment through the screen.
A printing technique involving the passage of printing medium, such as ink, through a web or fabric, which has been stretched on a frame, to which a refined form of stencil has been applied. The stencil openings determine the form and dimensions of the imprint thus produced.
Often called silk screen printing from the material formerly used for the screen. A stencil process with the printing and non-printing areas on one surface. The printing (image) area is open and produced by various forms of stencil. the substrate is placed under the screen and ink is passed across the top of the screen and forced through the open (printing) areas on to the substrate below.
a print screen is a wooden frame with a fine polyester mesh stretched on it. The mesh can be blocked with paper or a variety of liquid products, as a way of making a design on the surface. To print, paint is put inside the edge of the frame and then pulled across the mesh surface. The squeegee used to pull the paint forces it through the open parts of the mesh, which creates the design on the fabric. This process can be endlessly repeated as a way of patterning cloth.
Printing process using a mesh stretched over a frame allowing ink to selectively pass through by using a stencil. The process most commonly used for producing graphic overlays and membrane switch circuits. See Photo
a low volume method of printing onto different surfaces using templates, a wire mesh and ink
formerly called silk screen. Rather than print from a plate or cylinder, a stencil is prepared by hand or photographically on a screen or mesh. Ink is then forced through the screen and onto the substrate. Halftones can be reproduced, very thick ink films carried, and printing is possible on difficult surfaces such as the inside of bottles.
A mentod of printing compariable to using a stencil. The background design is painted on the screen with printing paste and the dye is printed through the exposed fabric. Different colors require spearate screens.
Method in which ink is forced through a design-bearing screen made of silk or other material onto the substrate being printed.
A printing method often used for non-flat goods. This method is best equipped to print on items such as mugs and clothing. Also known as silk screening, this process forces ink through a screen, like a stencil pattern.

Similar to stencil work, except that a screen of fine silk, nylon, polyester or metal mesh is employed. Certain areas of the screen onto the fabric by a squeegee to form the pattern. Separate screens are used for each color in the pattern. More expensive than roller printing, but for limited yardage and more delicate designs, often more economical. Graphic application method capable of printing great detail and color.
A printing method which forces ink through a stencil supported over a frame onto the sign blank. It is the method prefered for large runs of the same sign. Also called silkscreening.
The transfer of a pattern onto a surface by forcing a suitable material through a screen with a squeegee.
Imprinting method in which the image is transferred to the printed surface by ink squeegeed through a stenciled screen stretched over a frame. Screens are treated with a light-sensitive emulsion, then film positives are put in contact with the screens and exposed to light. The light hardens the emulsion not covered by the film, leaving a soft area on the screen for the squeegee to force ink through. Also called silk-screening.
Method of printing by using a squeegee to force ink through an assembly of mesh fabric and a stencil.
The process of using a porous mesh screen with an ink-resistant image on its surface as a template to transfer ink to substrates. The type of material used to make a screen depends on the substrate being used as well as the desired appearance of the product. Non-image areas of the screen must be blocked and image areas open to allow ink to pass through to the substrate
A printing process where the ink is forced through the image stencil held on a screen. The process allows a thick layer of ink to be applied, especially light fast inks. Screen-printing is widely used for outdoor displays, "scratchy" security coatings and for printing on ceramics, tee shirts, glass and plastics.
A method of printing in which the ink is forced (squeegeed) through a design on a taut screen (fine mesh) onto the object to be printed. Usually in flat format, but now screen printing units are available for rotary type presses.
This is a popular process for larger items that require a bigger print area such as clothing, bags, towels and headwear. A screen is made for each colour and then ink is pressed through the mesh screen onto the fabric, layering the colours to build the complete colour image. This logoing method is good for textured items as it fills weaves and leather grains giving a smooth finish to the print with overall coverage. When considering screen printing on clothing, please be aware that there are limitations when the reproduction of fine details and colour matching are required. Often logos must be simplified or altered to give a better finish because of the coarse nature of the materials used in this process.
A process for transferring an image from a patterned screen to a substrate through a paste forced by a squeegee of a screen printer.
A printing process in which the ink or varnish is forced by a squeegee through fine holes in a flat or cylindrical mesh to form the image to be printed.
Method of printing from stencils placed on a fine mesh tightly stretched on a frame, through which ink or paint is forced.
A method of ceramic and glassware decorating in which stencil-like screens are used in applying colours to the ware.
A method of printing in which the ink is forced through the image area of a properly stretched fabric, by the use of a squeegee, or in some cases air pressure directly on to the substrate to be printed.
Method of printing for small to moderate quantity runs, which employs stencils rather than metal plates.
Method of printing by forcing ink through a mesh stencil.
