This causes the ink to wet the paper and be pulled out of the mesh as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One color is printed at a time, so several screens are used to produce a multicolored image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are various terms used for what is essentially the same technique -- serigraphy, serigraph printing and screen printing or silkscreen printing because silk was used in the process. The most popular screen mesh in general use is made of polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind more of Adam's work\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopotlag.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=adam+turman\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtists to Watch is an award-winning company working directly with independent artists to craft high-quality products that meld visually intriguing images with thought-provoking words.
