Silkscreening

from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959

A method of reproducing illustrations in solid color. Paint is applied thru a stencil — a different stencil for each color — which is supported by the silk backing and therefore doesn't need to be interrupted by the little bridges that hold conventional stencils together.
