What exactly is silkscreen?

Silk screening is a process or technique that is used to create a variety of prints on a wide selection of different materials. Another term used when describing silk screening is known as screen printing. Traditionally, silk was used in the process prior to polyester mesh. Today, synthetic threads are commonly used in the silk screening process. There are also a special mesh material of nylon and stainless steel available to be used in the screen printing process. The different mesh sizes will determine the outcome and the look of the finished design on the material used. Now, the mesh is stretched tightly onto a frame to silk screen. Then, a negative design is created on the screen using a variety of techniques, and ink is rolled or sponged onto the screen. This is then pressed onto the object being printed. Most printers use a squeegee or a similar tool to gently press the ink onto the printed product, before removing the screen and hanging the print up to dry.
