Screen-printing or silk screening, usually uses a custom prepared stencil. It is made up of silk, nylon or a stainless-steel mesh. Ink passes through this area, but not through the other part of the stencil, which is contained inside a frame. The printing surface is placed under the frame on a flat surface. Forcing the ink through the screen area with a rubber squeegee, makes the desired impression. Heavier coverage is achieved with more permeable holes, which allows more ink to pass to the apparel surface.
