What is screen printing? | How to screen print | Printing a pinball machine backbox Explained

What do you need to start screen printing? Whether your screen printing a pinball machine or a T-Shirt the process is almost exactly the same.
In this video we'll explain the screen printing process where ink is forced through a silk mesh screen onto a surface. Making certain areas of the screen impervious to printing ink creates a stencil, which blocks the printing ink from passing through the screen using a squeegee. The ink that passes through and forms the printed image.
If you'd like to try screen printing for yourself before investing money, Amazon sell a great starter kit at a reasonable price 👇

This was proper interesting Kris. Good job on asking the detailed questions. Would love to know how mirrored back glasses are made and how playfields are printed. And while you’re at it…. How do they make balls?! Great stuff.
