Silk Screen Process  A mesh cloth is used to transfer ink except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.  id= D8B250C D8B250C73&rvsmid= D8B250C D8B250C73#view=detail&mid= D8B250C D8B250C73 id= D8B250C D8B250C73&rvsmid= D8B250C D8B250C73#view=detail&mid= D8B250C D8B250C73  id=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF152620AAB62FB07&rvsmid=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF AAB62FB07#view=detail&mid=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF152620AAB62FB07
