Process Silkscreen (serigraphy) - a printmaking technique in which a mesh cloth is stretched over a heavy wooden frame and the design, painted on the screen by tusche or affixed by stencil, is printed by having a squeegee force color through the pores of the material in areas not blocked out by a glue sizing. Tusche - a grease-like liquid used in lithography as a medium receptive to lithographic ink, and in etching and silkscreen as a resist.
