For customers who are new to UV flatbed printers, the biggest headache is facing a variety of choices. What is the difference between screen printing and UV lithography? Screen printing is relatively more traditional, and the technology is more sophisticated. Can UV lithography be achieved?

What is the difference between silk screen printing and uv flatbed printer?

1, cost comparison

The traditional screen printing requires film making, the printing cost is relatively expensive, the good screen printing points can not be eliminated, and mass production is needed to reduce the cost, and it is impossible to achieve printing in small batches or individual products.

UV lithography does not require such a complicated layout design, only requires simple image processing, and can be directly processed by software after calculating the relevant values, and can print a product, inkjet printer, without limiting the minimum number, from some In terms of angle, it also saves time and cost.

2, process comparison

The screen printing process is more complicated. Based on the original, the plate making and printing processes are selected according to different printing materials. There are many specific types of processes. Different printer materials have different processes, and the overall operation is quite troublesome.

The process of UV lithography is relatively simple. It only needs to put the material of the printer on the rack, fix the position, and simply select the high-definition picture in the software to start printing. The printer mode is the same for different materials, but only a small number of materials require coating and varnish effects.

3, printing effect comparison

The screen printed finished pattern has poor robustness, is easily scraped off, and is not waterproof. After printing, it needs to be air dried for a while to dry completely.

The UV lithography color is more comprehensive. The unique color management system does not need to be colorized by itself. The printing effect is vivid. The printed products also have many advantages such as waterproof, scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. The most important point is that the material is not affected by the material. Restricted, as long as the print size and roughness are within the printer's allowable range.
