Silk Screen Printing

[jecobtonk]

Legendary references point out to the fact that silk was discovered in Asia. In Silkscreen printing, screens were originally made of a piece of absorbent fine silk. Silkscreen printing originated from simple Japanese stenciling art forms. The modern Silkscreen process has evolved from ideas adopted by John Pilsworth in 1914 in San Francisco, California. This is known to be the first reference material on how to use a Silkscreen to form multicolor prints. It is a source of information that is applied even today.Screen printing, also known as Silkscreening or serigraphy, is a printing method that usually creates a sharp edged single color mage using a stencil and a porous fabric. An image created using this technique is called a screen-print or serigraph. In electrical terms, silkscreen refers to the writing on a printed circuit board. This method maybe used in etching copper wiring on a circuit board.
