Hand screen printing is to be considered a craft rather than a productive working method. The fabric is fixed to a blanket or back grey on a printing table where the screens are put on. Normally, another screen is needed for each colour of the eventual drawing. The prim paste is spread across the screen by hand with a(rubber) squeegee blade forcing the paste through the screen. 2, record 1, English, - hand%20flat%20screen%20printing

le procédé de la sérigraphie en général est assimilable au pochoir : les parties d'impression ne devant pas recevoir d'encre sont artificiellement préservées par l'interposition d'un cache (écran, trame de soie) et seuls les endroits évidés laissent passer l'encre. Il est d'ailleurs le seul procédé qui permette d'imprimer sur des objets tels le verre, les plastiques, la céramique, etc. 3, record 2, French, - impression%20sur%20trame%20photographique
