Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen in a "flood stroke" 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.

Substrate is used in a converting process such as printing or coating to generally describe the base material onto which, e.g. images, will be printed. Base materials may include: plastic films or foils, release liner; textiles, plastic containers
Forward roller coating; Reverse roll coating; Silk Screen coater Rotary screen; Slot Die coating - Slot die coating was originally developed in the 1950s. [76] Slot die coating has a low operational cost and is an easily scaled processing technique for depositing thin and uniform films rapidly, while minimizing material waste. [77]
The printing cylinders are usually made from copper plated steel, which is subsequently chromed, and may be produced by diamond engraving; etching, or laser ablation. Gravure printing is known for its ability to produce high-quality, high-resolution images with accurate color reproduction and using viscosity control equipment during production.
Similarly, spray powder is not generally used in sheet-fed (silk) screen-printing, ink-jet or toner based digital printing. In the UK, many Carrom players use a version of anti-set-off spray powder from the printing industry [citation needed] which has specific electrostatic properties with particles of 50 micrometres in diameter.
