Screen printing originated in China and was introduced to Western Europe in the late 1700s.
Screen printing is a technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer a stenciled design onto a material surface using inks and dyes. The ink is forced through tiny openings, that form the design, of the mesh screen either by hand, squeeging, or by a manual or automatic printing press. Colors are printed independently through separate screens, one at a time.
Embroidery was originally done by hand with a needle and thread.
Modern embriodery is now being stitched using computerized inspired embriodery machines. These machines digitize, or convert a digital image onto a stitch format, using specialized embroidery software.
This technique is widley used among business around the world to create personalized logos and monograms for their companies' corporate apparel.
Business shirts, jackets, hats, team athletic apparel, and bags are a few of the more popular items used to embroider.
