Screen printing is a process though which ink is mechanically applied to a substrate via the use of a screen and squeegee. In its basic form, screen-printing is a very simple process. Over time rather sophisticated software, machines and techniques have been developed and we now use those to produce our product. Screen-printing can be used to “decorate” many different substrates from ancient eastern wall hangings to Andy Warhol’s fine art to signs, billboards, computer circuit boards and more.
What is spot-colour?
Spot-Colour is the term used to describe separation and printing with one ink colour for every colour in the design. Each colour that makes up the composite image will be printed using a separate screen.
What is 4 colour process?
4-colour process is a more advanced separation and printing technique that uses 4 colours of transparent ink to produce the colours from the original design. The four colours, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK ( CMYK ), are printed as halftones that interact with each other to create colour and tonal values. A wide spectrum of colours can be represented but some colours are impossible to produce.
4-colour process is used mostly for photographic or digitally created designs because many shades and colours can be created with only four screens. High screen counts and screen frequencies are required to create the tiny halftone dots.
