The stainless steel printing screen is mainly suitable for substrates that require direct plate making and whose surface is curved. Such as: glass, ceramics, metal, plastic, rubber, printed circuits, etc. Due to its wear-resistant properties, stainless steel wire mesh is especially suitable for use in harsh environments, such as multi color overprinting, batch printing, precision printing, etc.
Due to the different printing precision and effect required by different substrates, the specifications of the selected stainless steel wire mesh for printing are also different. Below we mainly describe the application of several commonly used specifications.
For 200 mesh stainless steel wire mesh: it's suitable for wood products printing, such as furniture, tea sets, tea tables, wooden crafts.
For 250 mesh stainless steel wire mesh: this type mesh is mainly used for printing our common paper, art magazine, carton, Kong Ming lamp paper, oil painting paper and so on. Of course, this is not absolute. The choice of printing mesh specifications are different due to the papers with different quality requirements. For example, in the printing of Chinese banknotes (RMB), the 400 mesh stainless steel wire mesh with a high coefficient of perforation and the best transparency is used.
For 300 mesh stainless steel wire mesh: general used for printing of pure plastic products, such as plastic parts, plastic toys, vinyl toys, food bags, school bags, metal plastic composite materials.
For 350 mesh stainless steel wire mesh: suitable for metal products printing, such as metal barrels, metal containers, metal composites, etc.
The above information does not represent all applications of stainless steel wire mesh for printing. People should select the suitable mesh specification for printing according to the substrate to achieve the best results.
