With the development in technique, more and more different printing methods are used.What advantages screen printing have? Below are the details:
1. Thick ink layer and strong coverage. The thickness of some offset printing and embossing ink layers is only a few microns, gravure printing is about 12um, flexographic printing ink layer is 10μm, and silk printing can reach 30-100um, far exceeding Their thickness. There is a kind of foaming ink that is thicker, reaching 300um.
The offset printing we usually encounter, because the four-color ink is translucent, it is difficult to show the ideal chroma on non-white paper, while screen printing can be done on all black paper or other materials. print. The black underneath can't be seen at all, this is mainly due to the screen printing can make thick film screens.
2. Various inks can be used for printing. In principle, any ink and paint that can penetrate the screen mesh can be used.
That is, "printing material" in a broad sense includes slurry, paste, paint, adhesive or solid powder.
3. A wide range of printing. paper, textiles, leather, wood, bamboo, plastic, hardware, glass, ceramics, etc. can be printed on all planes and most of the curved surfaces.
The summary is: In addition to the paper-based offset printing (also called offset printing) that we usually encounter, if there are other non-paper materials, the first printing method you should consider is screen printing.
4. There is no limit to the shape and size of the substrate. The other three printing methods generally can only be printed on flat substrates; in terms of size, the area size that can be printed by general offset printing at present is full-open, that is, the so-called full-open, and the gross size is only 889mm*1194mm. They can't print the size. Of course, the size is too small and other printing methods are still not suitable. Such as the size of soybeans.
5. The product has strong light resistance. Because the ink accepts a wide range, various additives, binders, special materials, etc. can be added to the ink.
6. Flexible printing methods.
