One of the recent and immensely popular techniques belonging to the category of screen printing is known as silk screening or silk screen painting. In this type of printing technique, the stencil or the printing block is often accompanied by a mesh that is woven. The design gets imposed on the silk screen and then this is delicately used to print the targeted area. This type of printing was initially only tried on silk but with time, it is being used to print on synthetic as well as the polyester fibers.

A silk fabric which is often known as a mesh is a porous fabric that is used in silk screen printing. This fabric is stretched over a wooden frame. After this, a stencil is fixed upon the frame which is of the desired design that will bebe printed over the cloth. This screen is then kept on the fabric that has to be printed. Ink is spread on the screen and then with the help of an even bar, this ink is spread evenly all over the screen. Through the openings of the mesh, this ink makes a printed design on the cloth the way it is desired. It is made sure that the ink does not come in direct contact of the substrate.

When this is done, the fabric is left to dry so that the ink and the print does not get succumbed. There is rarely any field where the silk screen printing cannot be used these days. Due to the benefits associated with the silk screen printing, this printing method is widely used for printing on ceramics, papers, metals, rubbers, glasses, etc. since the areas of applications of this technique is so wide, its popularity is drastically increasing. Also, the quality of printing done in this way is very good and better in comparison to the traditional screen printing methods.
