Maishi experts told us that screen printing mesh printing is more convenient, and the printed printing and text are more graded. If the clothes are more breathable, they will not be depressed. The screen making process of the screen plate is also relatively simple: firstly, the screen plate is coated with a liquid water-based emulsion to block all the meshes, and then the screen plate is dried in a dry box; The positive film with the printed image is wound on a screen-coated cylinder coated with an emulsion and exposed to it with a UV light source (since the screen plate is generally roll-shaped, a screen cylinder is required). After the exposure is completed, the screen plate is rinsed in an automatic plate processor, and the unexposed emulsion is washed away, leaving the mesh of the graphic portion.

To sum up: the polyester screen is pressed by the squeegee to transfer the ink to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic part to form the same graphic as the original. The screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, simple in printing and plate making, low in cost, and strong in adaptability.
