Question

Serigraphy printmaking requires which of the following materials?

• A. Ink rollers
• B. Copper plate
• C. Limestone slab
• D. Stencil

Hint:

Serigraphy is essentially a very sophisticated form of stencil printing. The screen supports the stencil, allowing for highly detailed images.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Define Serigraphy. Serigraphy, also known as screen printing or silk screen, is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate.
Step 2: Understand the core principle. The ink is pushed through the open areas of the mesh. To create an image, the areas that should not be printed are blocked. This blocking element is a Stencil. The stencil prevents ink from passing through, defining the final image. The other materials listed are for different techniques: copper plates for intaglio, limestone for lithography, and ink rollers primarily for relief and lithography.
