Screen printing is a technique invented in 1910 that uses a mesh to transfer ink, allowing only one color per pass unless multiple meshes are used. Block printing originated in China around 220 AD and involves carving images or patterns into woodblocks to transfer designs. Photocopying was invented in 1937 by Chester Carlson and involves using light and electricity to produce photographic reproductions of documents.
