The history of printing is very old, and the German letterpress system is said to be the oldest.
Letterpress is a method of picking up each letter made of lead and composing it. Considering the current electronic plate making and offset printing, it was a terribly time-consuming method.

By the way, if you think of the screen printing method as the so-called stencil method, it is said that the Japanese printing method is the base.
This is a method of printing patterns on fabric by cutting out stencils coated with lacquer, and the so-called Shirako of Ise (Shirako-cho, Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture) is said to be the birthplace of this technique.
However, with this stencil method, the inner circle falls out when the so-called double circle is cut out. In the old days, it was called stringing and was tied at several points with threads.
[Threading for printing]
I hung it with a string so that the sandbar of the cut out paper pattern would not fall off.
This was the basis for the use of silk screens.

At the beginning of the Taisho era (1917), a person named Tsuneki of Toyama devised a method for pasting silk onto paper patterns.
When we say screen printing, it seems that something came from a foreign country, but in fact the name is the only thing that came from overseas.
A man named Kazuyoshi Mangoku, who had been to the United States, became interested in screen printing, which was a great invention in the textile printing world in Japan, and brought it back with him, spreading it under the name of silk screen process printing.
However, this printing method, which was started in the Taisho era, did not make much progress before the war, and the screen printing in Japan died out. It matched well with the birth of the machine, and has been widely used by the electronic industry association for substrates and HIC to this day.
At the beginning, the screen printing plate used silk for the gauze, so it was called silk screen printing.
