Sericel, or Serigraphic Cel, is a type of animation art that is a silk-screened print on clear plastic or acetate that resembles a painted cel. The process for making sericels is similar to silk-screening t-shirts. Line work for sericels is xeroxed, and paintwork is printed on the reverse side of the cel. Each color is silk-screened onto the acetate cel individually, and a single sericel can contain 10–50 colors. This time-consuming process can result in a beautiful piece of art that accurately reproduces the original's details and magic.
