A type of printing technique in which a screen of silk (Tetron, nylon) placed on a metal or wooden frame is used as a template and ink is extruded from the back side to print on paper or other material. Silk screen printing plates use various methods to seal the screen mesh (pores) in various ways so that ink does not pass through the area other than the pattern, and the expression differs depending on the method.
Here Studio is capable of making photo techniques that allow for more precise patterns and sharp expressions of characters.
Among them, direct method-directly apply a light-sensitive emulsion on a screen, expose a positive film (tracing paper printed on monochrome or transparent film) in contact, expose it, bake it, and develop it in water to make a plate. I mainly produce works at this method.
