What is silk screening
silk screening, also known as silk screening, is a traditional printing technology that uses a silk screen as a base and performs printing operations by making a silk screen plate and a scraper. It prints patterns, texts, etc. by transferring dyes or other pigments to the surface of an object through a silk screen. silk screening consists of five major elements: a silk silk screening plate, a scraper, ink, a printing table, and a substrate. When printing, ink is poured into one end of the silk silk screening plate, and pressure is applied to the ink part on the silk silk screening plate with a scraper, and the ink is squeezed onto the substrate during movement.
How does it work
The working principle of silk silk screening is to use the mesh of the graphic part of the silk silk screening plate to allow ink to penetrate, while the non-graphic part does not penetrate ink. When printing, the ink is transferred from the mesh of the graphic part to the substrate through the extrusion of the scraper to form an image or text. Due to the viscosity of the ink, the imprint is fixed within a certain range, ensuring the accuracy of printing and avoiding dirtying the substrate.
The benefits and drawbacks of silk screening
High flexibility:
silk screening technology can print various shapes of substrates and has strong adaptability.
Low cost:
Compared with other printing methods, silk screening has lower costs in mass production.
Bright colors:
Ink can present bright and full color effects through silk screening.
Strong customization:
With the personalization and diversification of consumer needs, silk screening technology can meet various customized printing needs.
Of course, silk screening can be printed not only on flat surfaces, but also on curved, spherical and concave and convex substrates. At the same time, silk screening can be printed not only on hard objects, but also on soft objects, without being restricted by the texture of the substrate. In addition, in addition to direct printing, silk screening can also be printed by indirect printing as needed, that is, first silk screening on gelatin or silicone plates, and then transferred to the substrate. Silk silk screening is a mature printing technology with a wide range of applications and unique advantages. In addition, for the sheet metal manufacturing industry, silk silk screening is also a kind of surface treatment process. There are more than a dozen surface treatment processes, including electroplating, wire drawing, oxidation, electrophoresis, etching, laser engraving and other processes, including silk silk screening. If you need to do silk silk screening on sheet metal products, you can choose to cooperate with Mulan Group. Mulan Group has 12 years of sheet metal processing experience and is good at the operation and service of various metal surface treatment processes.
