This well-worn copy of “Inko Silk Screen Printing, Materials & Techniques” offers a glimpse into the mid-20th century world of textile printing. Published by the Screen Process Supplies Manufacturing Company, likely in the 1940s or 1950s, this technical manual provides a fascinating historical record of the silk screening techniques and materials used in the garment industry before the rise of digital printing. Despite its imperfect condition, with a missing silk screen print sample, stains, and markings from previous owners, the book remains a valuable resource for collectors interested in the evolution of printing technologies and the rich heritage of American textile manufacturing. The highlighted pages suggest the book was well-studied, perhaps by a printer or designer seeking to master this intricate craft. While the specifics of the silk screening process may be obsolete today, the book offers a window into the ingenuity and artistry of an earlier era.
