Screen printing is one of the most versatile printing processes, and it can be used to print a wide variety of substrates, including paper, board, plastics, vinyl, glass, metal, fabrics, and lots of other materials.
The screen printing process consists of 3 components: the screen which is the image provider, the squeegee and ink. The procedure uses a porous mesh tightly stretched and glued onto a metal frame. A stencil is produced on the screen either manually or photo chemically.
Screen printing ink is applied to the substrate by placing the screen over the material. Ink is positioned onto screen and then forced through the great mesh openings utilizing a squeegee that is drawn across the screen, using pressure thus requiring the ink through the open locations of the screen. Ink will go through just in locations where the stencil is open, therefore forming an image on the substrate.
