Screen printing involves the use of stencils to transfer the design. Paint is applied to a frame stretched silk, or some other fabric that can be used for screen printing, and it penetrates the areas of the screen not blocked by the stencil. With this method you get consistent looking prints that are clean and can be done cheaply. Block printing involves carving a wood print block and pressing it sequentially along the length of the paper. This method creates a stamp that prints differently each time.
