Answer 2

Answer:

Silk Screen is a printing process in which the applied ink is poured by the pressure of a knob (a squeegee) through a matrix (a screen that we prepare and record with a drawing). With this process we can make a series production of the most diverse types of products and raw materials.

The process can be used for printing on various types of materials (paper, plastic, rubber, wood, glass, fabric, etc.), surfaces (cylindrical, spherical, irregular, light, dark, opaque, glossy, etc.), thicknesses. or sizes, with various types of inks or colors.

It can also be done mechanically (by people) or automatically (by machines).

Many industrial applications are made possible by the use of the screen printing process.

With the development of screen printing equipment and supplies, in addition to computer use, it is now possible to obtain prints with great fidelity to the matrix.
