Screen printing is a printing process that uses a stencil embedded in a fabric stretched tightly on a frame. The stencil controls what prints and what doesn't print. Stencils can be made in many ways. The use of photosensitive emulsions and opaque film materials to create printable images on the screen mesh would be "photo silkscreen." Another way to make a stencil is simply to cut a design in a sheet of paper and attach it to the back of a screen with tape. The openings in the paper alow ink to pass through. This would be called a "paper stencil."

What is silk screen printing in art?

Silk screen printing, also known as screen printing, is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a substrate, such as paper or fabric. A stencil is applied to the screen to block certain areas, allowing ink to pass through only where desired. This method is popular in art for its ability to produce bold colors and sharp lines, making it ideal for creating multiple copies of a design. Artists often use silk screen printing for posters, textiles, and fine art prints.

What is the difference between screen printing and block printing?

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.
