Blackman Limited Edition
Silk
Screen-prints
To make
Silk screen
graphics
the artist use a
woven
mesh
to support an ink-blocking
stencil
to receive a desired image.
The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that
transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh
as a sharp-edged image onto a
substrate.
A fill blade or
squeegee
is moved across the screen stencil, forcing ink through the mesh openings to wet
the substrate during the squeegee stroke, as the screen rebounds away from the
substrate the ink remains on the substrate.
It is also known as silkscreen,
serigraphy, and serigraph printing. One color is printed at a time, so several
screens can be used to produce a multicoloured designed image.
Artists recognize the value
of limiting the edition size.
Because of the variation in
quality, lower-numbered prints in an edition are favored as the most superior.
