Silkscreen
This is the most widely used process of decoration and is presently used to apply an artwork to a garment, headwear, or any other flat product that can absorb the inks applied to their surface.
This style of printing is a permanent process. A screen is made of a piece of porous, finely woven fabric called mesh stretched over a frame of aluminum or wood. Areas of the screen are blocked off with a non-permeable material to form a stencil, which is a negative of the image to be printed; that is, the open spaces are where the ink will appear.
There are three types of screenprinting presses. The 'flat-bed' (the most widely used), 'cylinder', and 'rotary'.
