What is Screen printing?
[[File:Silketrykk.svg|thumb|A. Ink. B. Squeegee. C. Image. D. Photo-emulsion. E. Screen. F. Printed image.]] '''Screen printing''' is a [[printing]] technique. It uses a [[Weaving|woven]] mesh to support an ink-blocking [[wikt:stencil|stencil]]. The attached stencil has open areas of mesh that transfer [[ink]] or other printable materials. The ink or [[paint]] can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp image onto a material. A fill blade or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing ink through the mesh openings. {{-}} {{stub}} [[Category:Printmaking]] [[Category:History of printing]]
