A method and apparatus for producing prints. The method comprises positioning a mesh having a first surface and a second surface and a thread count between approximately 86 and approximately 230 threads per inch in a substantially rigid frame and applying a photo-chemically active emulsion to the first surface of the mesh to a thickness of between approximately 50 microns and approximately 200 microns. The first side of the mesh is positioned relative to a top side of a photosensitive substrate and an image film is positioned against the bottom side of the photosensitive substrate. The photo-chemically active emulsion is exposed through the image film to a light source, and non-hardened photo-chemically active emulsion is removed from the mesh. The first surface of the mesh is positioned above a top surface of a print substrate and ink is applied to the second surface of the mesh so that ink travels through the mesh and the areas in which the photo-chemically active emulsion has been removed and onto the top surface of the print substrate.
