Hand-Pulled Screenprints for Gifts

A screenprint (also called a silkscreen or serigraph) is built one color at a time, each layer pushed through a fine mesh stencil by hand. That process is what you are paying for: thick, opaque, flat color with crisp edges a digital print can not quite copy. Read the listing for the color count, since a 3- to 5-color print shows real layering, and ink sitting slightly raised on the paper is the tell of a true hand-pull. Most are pulled on heavy uncoated stock (think French Paper, 80-100 lb cover) at sizes like 11x14, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Watch for water-based versus plastisol inks, metallic or split-fountain blends, and a signed, numbered edition such as 12/75 that marks a capped run. Open prints run about $25-$60; signed limited editions land around $50-$150, with rare artist runs higher. Many ship flat or rolled within 3-7 business days, while fresh-pulled editions can take 1-2 weeks.
