Silk Print

SWPP Photographic Glossary

A silk print is an image produced on silk fabric using diazo or dye-based printing methods. This technique allows for detailed and vibrant reproductions on a delicate, flexible surface, making it popular for fine art, textiles, and decorative applications.

Silk printing requires careful handling and precise registration to ensure accurate colour placement and image clarity. The resulting prints combine the smooth, lustrous qualities of silk with the richness of the applied inks, offering a distinctive and elegant aesthetic.
