Can photographs be printed using serigraphy?
The short answer is yes, but not to the outcome you would expect. In order to reproduce a photograph to look like what you see on your camera or computer you must use “four color process” to achieve the subtle shades and tones of the image. A reproduced photograph which uses serigraphy must first be converted to a single color halftone (small dots) image for screen preparation. This very action removes a photographs subtle colors leaving you with essentially a black and white image, made up of visible dots (think Andy Warhol).
