Screen printing often used mesh, nylon mesh, polyester mesh, stainless steel mesh

Advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

Nylon net

Advantages: high elongation; Electrostatic small; Good ink permeability; Good resilience; High printing resistance;

Disadvantages: poor acid resistance;

Note: not printing high-precision products, not printing large products; After immersion (or printing water-based ink) easy to become relaxed;

Polyester silk mesh, also known as polyester screen:

Advantages: Chemical resistance;

Disadvantages: low elongation; Low resistance to printing; Low ink permeability; Easy to generate static electricity

Note: printing solvent - based ink often produce "wire drawing" phenomenon

Stainless steel wire mesh:

Advantages: small tensile net; High strength; Good ink penetration performance; Stable dimensional accuracy; Strong water resistance and chemical resistance;

Disadvantages: poor elasticity; Expensive;

Note: stainless steel wire mesh can not be restored to its original shape.

The advantages of screen printing:

(1) is not limited by the size and shape of the substrate

General printing, can only be carried out on the plane, and screen printing can not only be printed on the plane can also be printed on the special shape of the shape of the surface such as spherical surface printing, shape things can be carried out with screen printing.

(2) soft layout and small printing

The silk screen is soft and elastic.

(3) the ink layer coverage force is strong

It can be printed in pure white on all black paper with strong stereoscopic feeling.

(4) suitable for all types of ink

(5) Strong rotation resistance

Can make the gloss of the printed matter unchanged. (Neither temperature nor daylight had any effect). This makes some self-adhesive printing, without additional film covering and other processes.

(6) Flexible and diverse printing methods

(7) plate making is convenient, cheap and easy to master

(8) Strong adhesion

(9) can be purely manual screen printing, but also machine printing
