In screen printing a separate screen is created for each color. The open mesh part of the screen corresponds to the area to be printed in that color. The areas where color is not to pass through are blocked. Dye paste is forced through the open mesh area with a squeegee.

Rotary printing is a much faster process than flat screen printing but the pattern repeat is limited by the circumference of the cylinders.
