Ross Balfour explains how the industrialisation of screen printing is transforming our way of life
Since its infancy hundreds of years ago, until widespread adoption in the mid/late 20th century, screen printing has been used primarily to create media for communication or decoration.
This includes signs, displays, serigraphs and T-shirts, etc.
However, the versatility of the process and wide scope of materials that can be pushed through a stencil has gradually enabled screen printing to expand into applications where other printing processes cannot venture.
