What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is the printing system serial oldest known, attributed to the Chinese, even before the silkworm

is not known exactly where, or time, and who invented this printing system, but has found that many paintings found in caves were made using vegetable colors on template placed on the walls.

printing is a printing system which consists of fixing an image on a surface with ink from a brush, roller or squeegee to travez a template, frame or frame with this image previously drawn, blocking those areas where it is desired stamp

The oldest record of this system have been found in China, Japan and Fiji, where people stamped their tissues using banana leaves, previously cut with drawings and, placed on the tissues used a paint plant that colored those areas which had been cut.

With the development of silk frames are covered with this material, are drawn characters and images directly blocking the areas that are not going to be printed and the printing was born there, word composed of the words graphos Sericum = silk = writing, writing travez silk, a name that has lasted almost throughout the world except United States, that if silk screen process, and due to the use of nylon mesh and polyester, has changed its name to screen printing, leaving that of serigraphy only the artistic area, so when you reference to our business in English, we will always use the term screen printers, to avoid confusion
