Are you ready to unlock the art of manual screen printing? Look no further! In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process, ensuring you achieve impeccable prints every time. Let's dive in!
Step 1: Prepare the Screen
To start, use scotch tape to seal the screen frame, including the areas without patterns. This will make cleaning easier later on. Additionally, seal any holes in the user screen to avoid unwanted marks.
Step 2: Position the Screen
Secure the screen using a net clamp to ensure stability throughout the printing process.
Step 3: Adjust the Screen Distance
Find the perfect distance between the screen and the substrate. For flat characters, maintain a distance of 2-3mm, while real objects require 4-5mm of space.
Step 4: Align the Substrate
Place the substrate correctly for precise printing placement.
Step 5: Ink Application
Prior to printing, adjust the ink dilution in the ink tank. Apply the ink evenly onto the screen surface.
Step 6: Begin Printing
Switch on the machine and gently scrape the ink with a squeegee, covering the screen surface. Next, at a 75-degree angle, use the squeegee to scrape the ink downward, completing the printing process.
Step 7: Continuation Printing
For continuous printing, position the substrate, gently push the ink back using a scraper, and repeat step 6.
Key Points to Remember:
Maintain consistent blade force for even prints.
Avoid stopping midway during the scraping process.
Strive for continuous printing to avoid unnecessary screen wiping.
Embrace the principle of using small quantities of ink multiple times.
Post-adjustment, clean the screen and squeegee it with boiling oil and water for future use.
