Screen printing is a printing technique. It uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil has open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials. The ink or paint can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp image onto a material.

A fill blade or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing ink through the mesh openings.
