What are the necessary Equipment and Tools Needed for Screen Printing Process?


Screen Printing Equipment
Screen Mesh
Material: There are mainly two types, polyester screen mesh and stainless steel screen mesh. Polyester screen mesh is suitable for most printing needs, while stainless steel screen mesh is more durable and suitable for projects requiring intricate details or high precision.
Mesh Count: Selecting the appropriate mesh count depends on the detail and requirements of the printing pattern, typically ranging from 80 to 400 mesh. A higher mesh count provides higher detail and clarity in printing.
 
Printing Machine
Manual Screen Printing Machine: Suitable for small batch or sample printing, easy to operate, and cost-effective.
Semi-automatic Screen Printing Machine: Improves printing efficiency, suitable for medium-scale production needs.
Fully Automatic Screen Printing Machine: Efficient and precise, suitable for large-scale production, capable of continuous printing and high-precision registration
 
Screen Printing Tools
Squeegee
Ink Squeegee: Used to transfer ink through the mesh of a screen onto the printing substrate. The choice of squeegee depends on the type of ink and printing requirements, including squeegee angle, hardness, and pressure.
Squeegee Angle: Typically 45 degrees or 60 degrees, chosen based on the detail of the print pattern and the viscosity of the ink.
Squeegee Hardness: The hardness of the squeegee is typically indicated by the material of the blade and the squeegee angle.
Squeegee Pressure: Proper squeegee pressure ensures even deposit of ink onto the printing substrate without excessively squeezing the screen.
 
Ink Mixing Knife and Ink Mixing Table
Ink Mixing Knife and Ink Mixing Table are tools used for blending and adjusting printing ink to ensure its color and viscosity meet printing requirements.
 
Ink Mixing Knife
Function: Used on the ink mixing table to blend different colors or batches of ink thoroughly, ensuring consistent printing colors.
Usage: Pour the ink that needs to be mixed onto the ink mixing table, then use the ink mixing knife to stir and blend until the ink color is uniform.
 
Ink Mixing Table
Function: It serves as the platform for ink mixing operations, typically featuring a flat metal or plastic surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
Usage: Place ink on the mixing table and use an ink spatula to mix it thoroughly, adjusting the color and concentration of the ink as needed.
