Screen printing is the process of transferring ink or paints to a product using a screen. It is one of the oldest printing methods and can be done on paper, canvas, leather, and more. Screen printing is often used by artists as it allows for a wide range of colors and patterns to be printed onto various surfaces. This process was first developed in China over 2,000 years ago and became widely used during the Industrial Revolution. Today, many types of screens are available for use in screen printing. The most common types are roller screens, mesh screens, and flatbed screens. With the increase in the popularity of digital printing, there has also been an increase in companies designing custom digital printers for screen printing.
