silkscreening, or serigraphy is a printmaking technique
that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. A screenprint
or serigraph is an image created using this technique.
It began as an industrial technology, and was adopted by
American graphic artists in the early 1900s. It is currently
popular both in fine arts and in commercial printing, where
it is commonly used to print images on T-shirts, hats, CDs,
DVDs, ceramics, glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper,
metals, and wood. The Printer's National Environmental Assistance
Center says "Screen printing is arguably the most versatile
of all printing processes."Since rudimentary screen-printing
materials are so affordable and readily available, it has
been used frequently in underground settings and subcultures,
and the non-professional look of such DIY culture screen
prints has become a significant cultural aesthetic seen
on movie posters, record album covers, flyers, shirts, commercial
fonts in advertising, and elsewhere.
Graphic screenprinting is widely used today to create many
mass or large batch produced graphics, such as posters or
display stands. Full color prints can be created by printing
in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). Screenprinting
is often preferred over other processes such as dye sublimation
or inkjet printing because of its low cost and ability to
print on many types of media. laid out with photographs
