Screenprinting Process
There is a lot of confusion regarding prints, and whether they are original (the image does not already exist in another medium) or reproduction (a copy of a pre-existing work), and hence the value of the "print". I do not intend to engage in a discussion on the subject here.
However, I do guarantee that all of my Irish landscape screenprints are original, hand-printed, fine-art prints, created and printed in Limited Editions by myself at my studio in Ratoath, Co Meath.
Screenprints are also called serigraphs or silk-screens. The term "serigraphy" was used by artists in the early days, to differentiate their hand-drawn work on silk textile screens from commercial screenprinting. Screenprint is the universal term used now, though Americans still use "silk-screen" eventhough screens are now made from more reliable synthetic fibres.
Screenprinting is a stencil method, where ink is dragged across a mesh allowing it to print onto the paper in selected areas only.
