In screen printing, the positive typically refers to the film or transparency that contains the design to be printed, which is usually in black. The black areas on the positive block the light during the exposure process, allowing the emulsion on the screen to remain unhardened. The resulting exposed areas will be where the ink passes through during printing. Thus, the color of the positive is predominantly black for clarity and effectiveness.
