Design Confirmation
Determine the patterns, text, or logos that need to be printed on the glass bottle.
Ensure the design complies with legal regulations and product standards, such as ingredient labeling and usage instructions.
Pattern Adjustment
2. Screen Making
Mesh Selection
Choose an appropriate material based on the details and requirements of the printing pattern. Typically, polyester mesh or stainless steel mesh are used, selected according to the required mesh count.
Emulsion Coating
Apply photosensitive emulsion onto the selected screen.
The choice of emulsion should consider the type of printing ink and the requirements for printing effects.
Exposure and Plate Making
Transfer the designed pattern onto the photosensitive emulsion and cure the emulsion through exposure, creating the screen mesh.
Development
After exposure, develop the screen to remove uncured emulsion, revealing the desired printing mesh apertures.
3. Ink Mixing and Preparation
Ink Selection
Choose suitable screen printing ink based on the characteristics of glass bottles and the requirements for printing effects.
Consider factors such as ink durability, adhesion, and color stability.
Ink Mixing
Mix the selected ink to ensure consistent color and appropriate concentration.
Adjust as necessary by adding diluents or thickeners according to requirements.
4. Equipment Set up and Preparation
Screen Printing Machine Setup
Install the prepared screen onto the screen printing machine, adjusting the screen tension and position.
Ensure the screen is flat and well-stretched to maintain stability and printing quality during the process.
Substrate Fixation
Prepare suitable fixtures or clamps to secure the glass bottles during printing, ensuring stable positioning and easy maneuverability.
5. Glass Bottle Surface Preparation
Cleaning and Pre-treatment
Before printing, ensure the glass bottle surface is clean and free from dust to enhance ink adhesion and print quality.
Pre-treatment involves removing surface oils, cleaning with deionized water, and similar steps.
