screen

Screen printing, also known as silkscreen printing, is a sophisticated stenciling technique used for surface printing. Developed around 1900, it was initially used for advertising and displays before artists adopted it in the 1950s. The process involves a design cut into paper or another thin material, which is then placed on a fine-mesh screen, traditionally made of silk. Paint or ink is pressed through the open areas of the stencil onto the printing surface using a squeegee. Multiple colors can be used, with a separate screen required for each color. This method is also widely used in textile printing.12
