A screen printed pin — also called a silkscreen pin — starts as a flat blank instead of a die struck one. Each color is applied to the surface through its own stencil, one at a time, so there are no raised metal lines separating the colors and the finished face is smooth and flush.
That is the practical difference from soft and hard enamel, where color fills areas a mold pressed into the metal. Because nothing has to be molded, a printed design can put colors directly against each other and reproduce artwork exactly as drawn.
