While for me it was the 80’s punk scene that introduced silk screen printing, the practice is traced as far back as China’s Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). That’s when I was first exposed to the concept of silk screen printing, whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, like fabric, except where a blocking stencil is used to make the ink impermeable. the 1980’s screen printing was all the rage, in large part due to the punk rock movement’s demand for original band t-shirts. Screen life is used primarily during long print runs or when printing in hot and dry conditions.
