Srceen Printing is a printing technique that uses a screen with open areas on a silk mesh that transfers ink as a sharp-edged image onto the garments. The open areas of the silk mesh are your designs. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen, pumping ink through the opens areas of the silk stencil, and directly onto the garments.
