Screen printing is one of the most flexible printing processes, and it can be utilized to print a wide range of substrates, including paper, board, plastics, vinyl, glass, metal, textiles, and many other materials.
The screen printing process includes three aspects: the screen which is the image carrier, the squeegee and ink. The process utilizes a porous mesh tightly extended and glued onto a metal frame. A stencil is produced on the screen either by hand or picture chemically.
Screen printing ink is applied to the substrate by positioning the screen over the material. Ink is positioned onto screen and then required through the great mesh openings utilizing a squeegee that is drawn across the screen, using pressure thereby requiring the ink through the open areas of the screen. Ink will go through just in locations where the stencil is open, thus forming an image on the substrate.
