Silkscreen Print
A stencil-based print where ink is pushed through a fine mesh. Andy Warhol made it iconic in the 1960s by screen-printing photographs in bold, repeated, slightly misregistered colors.

Why it happens
A photo-sensitized mesh screen blocks ink everywhere except the image areas, so each color is squeegeed through as an opaque flat layer, and imperfect alignment shifts the layers.
