What are the ink marking characteristics of screen printing?

Screen printing is a process of preventing the formation of a frame by using a material such as stainless steel wire mesh, nylon mesh, or stainless steel stainless steel wire, and then performing a screen printing pattern or text on the substrate. The screen is squeezed and slid with a doctor blade to allow the ink to form a desired printed image on the substrate through the holes of the ink portion. Compared with other printing methods, screen printing has the unique advantages of rapid plate making, simple printing method, low equipment investment, low cost and wide printing range.

The extensive nature of screen printing substrates.

Since the screen plate can realize elastic soft contact during printing, it can not only directly print soft materials such as paper and fabric, but also can print on hard materials such as plastic and metal. Silk screen printing is contact printing, but its printing pressure is very small, so it can be printed on fragile items such as glass and eggs.

In these printing methods, the printing ink is the thickest and the ink layer can be adjusted.

The embossed and embossed ink layers are about 5 microns, the gravure ink layer is about 10 microns, and the silk screen ink layer is up to 30 microns. If a foamed or special thick-film screen (plate) version is used, the ink layer can reach hundreds of micrometers, so the screen printing ink has a very strong hiding power, and almost all types of inks are used, whether water-based, oily or synthetic. Sexual, liquid or powdery inks, regardless of the manner in which the ink is dried, can be printed on various types of materials under certain conditions.
