Screen printing is one of the most flexible printing processes, and it can be used to print a wide range of substrates, including paper, board, plastics, vinyl, glass, metal, fabrics, and lots of other materials.
The screen printing process includes three components: the screen which is the image provider, the squeegee and ink. The procedure uses a permeable mesh tightly extended and glued onto a metal frame. A stencil is produced on the screen either by hand or photo chemically.
Screen printing ink is applied to the substrate by positioning the screen over the product. Ink is placed onto screen and then forced through the great mesh openings utilizing a squeegee that is drawn throughout the screen, applying pressure thereby forcing the ink through the open areas of the screen. Ink will go through only in locations where the stencil is open, hence forming an image on the substrate.
