Screenprinting (also called silkscreen printing) is a technique where ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto a surface, with a stencil blocking ink from areas that shouldn't be printed. Each color requires its own separate screen and pass, so multi-color designs involve layering the print color by color.
It's known for producing bold, opaque, vibrant colors with a slightly textured, tactile feel. Ink sits on top of the surface rather than absorbing into it the way offset litho does. This makes it popular for pop-culture and limited-edition art prints and posters, since the thick ink layers give strong visual impact
Please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery. Prints will typically ship rolled in protective tubes, though some may ship flat between sheets of sturdy cardboard depending on size, medium, and quantity purchased.
