What is silk screen printing?

is one of the methods in
printmaking? It uses stencil
to apply ink onto another
material. It can be on fabric

. Wood vnyl or any other
material that absorbs ink.
Now , with new tools, printing of
designs had become faster and easier.
These designs can be printed on t-
shirts and posters. Even if digital
technology has made printing faster,
the design principles like the contrast
of colors, shapes and lines should
produce harmony just like hand
printing. Using technology, printing of
original design has been made easier
and faster.
The creation of the design,
using computer program is
easier. The production is
even made faster with the
silkscreen printing machine.
This machine allows the
printing of several colors on
a t-shirt
 This kind of
technology
speeded up
the prnting
of design on
t-shirts. It
can also be
used to
