Screen printing is a versatile printing technique that involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink onto a surface, typically fabric. The process begins with a fine mesh screen stretched over a frame, where the design is applied using a light-sensitive emulsion. Once exposed to light, areas of the emulsion harden, while the unexposed areas remain soft, allowing ink to pass through. The result is a sharp, vibrant image that is ideal for producing custom graphics on apparel and various materials. Screen printing is favored for its ability to produce bold colors and intricate designs, making it a popular choice for both small and large production runs.
