This is a type of printing, in which the application of paint on the material is made through the through holes of a special printing form, which is a grid. Through its cells, using a rubber cloth (squeegee), the printing ink is pressed. This type of "silk-screen" was obtained through a patent for a screen printing process that was issued in 1907 under the English name "Silk screen printing" - printing through a silk screen. One of the features of silk printing is the ability to get a thick layer of paint: from 10-12 to 500 microns or more (for example, for offset printing, the paint layer is only 1-2 microns).
Thanks to the technology's features, silk-screen printing allows you to apply an image to virtually any material (in this case, a suitable paint must be selected) and surfaces of any shape. Currently, screen printing is used not only in printing, but also in textile, electronic, automotive, glass, ceramic and other industries.
Silk-screen printing is widely used for making business cards, letterheads, stickers, flyers, envelopes, folders, packages, plastic folders (with activated layer), as well as other representative and business products. It can be used for additional finishing of products in combination with offset printing, foil stamping, hot stamping, etc.
