In silk‐screen printing, ink is squeezed through the open meshes of a screen carrying an image, thus transferring the image to the surface below (1, 2). Silk has been replaced by nylon, Dacron®, and polyesters (3). Previously, all the stencils were prepared manually, but now indirect photo‐mechanical processing and photo‐composition are widely used (2). Thus are printed decals, posters, wallpaper, glass, clothing, printed circuit boards, skis, surfboards, and credit cards (4).
