Skjermtrykking

Skjermtrykking, also known as screen printing, is a printing technique that involves forcing ink onto a substrate through a stencil. This method is widely used for printing on fabrics, paper, plastic, metal, wood, and other materials. The process begins with the creation of a stencil, which is a screen made of a fine mesh stretched over a frame. The stencil is then coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, which is exposed to a negative image of the design to be printed. The unexposed areas of the emulsion are washed away, leaving the design in the mesh. Ink is then forced through the mesh onto the substrate, creating the printed image. Screen printing is known for its ability to produce vibrant colors and high-quality prints, making it a popular choice for both commercial and artistic applications. The technique can be used for both single-color and multi-color prints, and it is particularly well-suited for printing on irregularly shaped objects. Despite its versatility, screen printing requires careful preparation and precision to achieve the best results.
