SILKSCREEN
PRINTING
At Harwood King, we have over 30 years of experience producing fine art silkscreen prints.
Our skilled printers can help you transform your artwork into a silkscreen, offering guidance on splitting the colours into screens and hand-mixing colours to match your artwork.
What is Silkscreen Printing?
Silkscreen printing is a form of stencil printing, in which fabric (originally silk) is stretched across a frame to make a screen. The screen is blocked out using a stencil. The stencil is created either by hand or photographically.
The stencil's open areas let the ink pass through the screen onto a sheet of paper. A squeegee is used to push the ink through the open parts of the stencil. A different stencil is required for every colour in the image. Each colour must be carefully registered with all the other colours.
Our Silkscreen Printing Services
We are experts in multicolour silkscreen production and have printed editions needing anything from 1 to 96 colours. We have won numerous industry awards for our studio's print quality.
Our skilled print technicians can take you through the process of turning your image into a silkscreen and offer advice on the best print method, as well as on creating the separations and digital artwork needed to produce the print.
The cost of silkscreen printmaking production can vary greatly depending on the requirements of the individual project.

Silkscreen Enhancements
Silkscreen printing can also be used to enhance digital prints by adding spot colours, gold, silver, fluorescents or Diamond Dust. We believe a print should be so much more than an exact copy of an original artwork and encourage artists and publishers to work with us and bring the most of out the print they are producing.
