FAQ About The Role of Printmaking in Cultural History

How does screen printing differ from other printmaking techniques?

Screen printing, also known as serigraphy, differs from other printmaking techniques in its use of stencils and mesh screens. Ink is pushed through a screen onto the substrate except in areas where a blocking stencil has been applied. This allows for vibrant, flat areas of color and is especially popular for creating artworks with high visual impact, offering versatility in terms of materials and surfaces.
