The actual process of screen printing isn't technically difficult. The most difficult part is creating your print designs and acquiring all the equipment that you need to do screen printing.
I first started screen printing a few years ago as I wanted to make t-shirts for selling on Etsy. I watched a ton of YouTube videos on what to do and what equipment I needed to get started. After that, I searched the internet to find a reasonably priced supplier of screen printing consumables.
Once I had all my equipment, screen printing actually became quite easy. However, if you're not really sure where to start, I would definitely recommend watching some YouTube videos about screen printing before you invest in the equipment as it can cost quite a lot to get all of the supplies. What I will say is that screen printing is really fun and you should definitely try it if you haven't before.
What are the keys to print screen? Print screen (often abbreviated Print Scrn, Prnt Scrn, Prt Scrn, Prt Scn, Prt Scr, Prt Sc or Pr Sc) is a key present on most PC keyboards. It is typically situated in the same section as the break key and scroll lock key.
Prt SC (Print Screen) does NOT send the screen to the printer!!
If your windows desktop is showing, Print Screen will capture the ENTIRE screen to the clipboard - Open Paint and Ctrl-V to paste the captured image into paint (or other graphics program).
If you want to capture only the active screen, use Alt-Prt Sc and do the same with it. Take screen capture print your screen Windows Help Print screen Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Using the Print Key Function with ScreenShot 2 Print
11
Download and install ScreenShot 2 Print. ScreenShot 2 Print has a free trial option, and as of May 2010, costs $7 for the full version. Configure the program to print to a designated printer from the onscreen commands. The screen captures will print automatically when the required keys are pressed.
12
Hold down the "Control" key (Ctrl) and the "Print Screen" key to capture a screen shot of the full desktop. The image will be sent directly to the designated printer.
13
Hold down the "Shift" key and "Print Screen" key to take a screen shot of the active window, which is sent directly to the printer.
Pressing print screen itself does nothing noticeably. To capture your screen press ctrl + print screen or just print screen. Open up paint or a word document and paste it into it by pressing ctrl + v. An image of the previous screen capture should appear.
The print screen is for a screen shot lol you press PRINT SCREEN then go to paint and press CTRL V and it has a screen shot of your desktop and you could probably print that out but that's what it's for
