Flat screen printing
Initially
the process was a manual one with two printers passing a rubber-edged
squeegee across the screen to force the paste onto fabric. The screen
then had to be lifted and moved to print the next section of the pattern.
In the 1950s semi-automatic and fully automatic flat screen printing methods
were developed. These cut production costs significantly.
This
type of printing was used industrially from the 1920s to produce high
quality prints in small quantities.
