THE PRINCIPLE OF SILK SCREEN PRINTING
THE silk screen process is a printing process. It is part of the screen printing or mitography industry and is the most versatile of all printing processes. With it one can print on almost any surface or any material. In this process a stencil or film in which a design has been cut is attached to one side of a screen, generally made of silk. When paper or another material is placed directly under the screen bearing a design, process ink, enamel, paint, or another finish is forced through the open mesh of the screen with a squeegee. The parts of the stencil or film that cover up the little holes in the screen will not allow the ink to be forced through and deposit itself on the paper. Those parts on the design that do not stop up the holes in the screen will allow the ink to penetrate through to the paper.
The silk screen process is so called because originally silk was used for the screen to which the stencil or film was attached. However, silk, organdy, bolting cloth, nylon, and wire mesh screens may be used. Although there are different types of stencils or printing plates and different methods of preparing them, those explained in this book give the fundamental principles underlying this phase of the graphic arts.
To do this work the beginning processor will need a silk screen frame; a squeegee; silk screen inks; a stencil, film, or printing plate; a film cutting or stencil knife and cardboard or other stock upon which the print will be made.

THE PRINTING FRAME AND HOW TO MAKE IT
The silk to which the stencil or film is attached, ordinarily, is tacked to a wooden frame. The size of the frame used depends upon the size of the stock upon which the printing is to be done. The beginner is advised to make a frame the inside dimensions of which are 18 inches by 24 inches. As progress is made in silk screen work, other size screens may be made. Screens in any size and varied styles may also be bought from screen process printing suppliers.
The frame should be made of a soft, kiln-dried wood such as pine or basswood that is free of knots and other imperfections. The lumber should be planed until it is about two inches wide, two inches thick, and long enough for a side of the frame. The frame should have no sharp edges and should have well constructed corners. The wood should be sandpapered before tacking on the silk. The silk may be tacked to
