Patterns are applied to the glass during the toughening process.
A printmaking technology in which stencils are applied to a screen in a way that when ink is applied it is prevented from passing through the parts of the screen while penetrating the rest of the screen, thereby printing an image on the disc placed underneath. The screen is stretched across a frame and attached to a base in such a manner that it can readily move up and down, so that the disc can be easily placed and removed as required Ink is forced with a squeegee through the unblocked portions of the screen onto the surface beneath.
Mesh screen(s) are placed in the printing machine. The CDs pass underneath each screen and stop. A squeegee presses the appropriately colored ink through the screen. The disc passes underneath an ultraviolet light to cure the ink before the next color is applied.
An artwork imprint method where an 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 silkscreening.
This refers to a method of stencil printing through a mesh. The term is used interchangeably, and confusingly, with "silkscreen"; the mesh used may but need not be silk. The technique involves fixing the mesh to a rectangular wooden frame which is placed directly on top of paper. Printing ink is spread over the mesh and forced through it, onto the paper, with a rubber blade. The design may be made by stencil blocks on the paper or by painting over areas of the mesh so that the printing ink will not pass through, or by a number of other techniques. Quite common in contemporary print is the use of photo-stencils which allow the artist to incorporate photographic images into print.
Printing method by which image is transferred to surface by squeegeeing ink through a screen. The, screens are treated with a light-sensitive emulsion. Then, film positives are put in contact with screens and exposed to light, which hardens emulsion not covered by film, leaving a soft area on screen for squeegeed ink to be forced through. Also referred to as, "silkscreening".
The technique of applying material (usually screen printing ink) to a surface by forcing it through a stretched fabric that has a stencil applied.
