What should we know about screen printing?
Screen Printing Mesh advantages:
(1) Not limited by substrate size and shape
Generally, printing can only be carried out on a flat surface, and the screen printing can be printed not only on a flat surface but also on a special shaped molded object such as a spherical curved surface, and the shaped object can be screen printed.
(2) The layout is soft and small
The screen is soft and flexible.
(3) Strong ink coverage
It can be printed on pure black paper with a strong white effect.
(4) Suitable for all types of inks
(5) Strong resistance to optical rotation
The gloss of the print can be kept unchanged. (No effect on temperature or daylight). This allows for the printing of some stickers without the need for additional filming and other processes.
(6) Flexible printing methods
(7) Easy plate making, low price, easy to master technology
(8) Strong adhesion
(9) can be hand-printed by hand or machine

When choosing a wire mesh, you should pay attention to the following aspects.
1 First consider the ease of ink passing through the screen. Generally consider this aspect when choosing. The intermediate color ink uses a high transparency ink, the tremor material is relatively fine, the ratio of the tremor material carrier is large, and the ink passability is good. The ink can also pass well when using a high mesh screen. Generally, the plastic ink has good passability, special-purpose ink, and ink with high diastolic concentration, although the fineness is relatively poor in passability.
2 If the ribbon printing, the ribbon printing pattern, and the surface of the printed substrate are rough, a lower mesh screen is generally used. Such as leather, canvas, foam sheet, wood and other materials printed. Since the surface of the substrate is rough and the ink absorption is strong, a mesh having a lower mesh size is used to ensure a sufficient amount of ink passes.
3 Select the screen according to the fineness of the original text. Contrary to the above, in general, fine lines are required to select a high mesh screen.
4 Select the screen to consider the cost. Under the premise of meeting the printing requirements, try to use the lower price screen.
