Variable screen pitch for screen printing

Screen printing often determines the final print quality variable. The pitch is an important variable. Need to adjust the screen pitch when printing. In order to accurately guarantee the printing quality. The first is to control the network distance. If you want to accurately control the screen distance, you must first fully understand and be familiar with the impact of variables such as screen distance on print quality. It is important to ensure that a better product is printed.

What is the function of the pitch?

Screen pitch also requires screen spacing. Refers to the vertical distance between the bottom surface of the screen printing plate and the surface of the substrate. It is one of the five main variables in screen printing. The space between the printing plate and the substrate during screen printing is the key to absolutely ensuring that it does not stick to the substrate during the screen printing screen printing process.

Improper screen pitch will adversely affect print quality, and may cause problems such as poor reproduction accuracy, smearing, blistering, ghosting, ink sticks, missing levels, blurred image edges, screen marks, incomplete images, and inaccurate overprints .

When screen printing, please note that increasing the screen pitch has the same effect as increasing the screen tension. Therefore, some people increase the pressure of the scraper by increasing the screen distance, and the screen will have a higher tension. This method has a lot of negative effects (especially the increase in screen dots), so the screen tension should be increased during printing, and the screen pitch should not be increased.
