Screen stretching is an important process in making screen printing plates. To ensure the quality of screen stretching, the following aspects should be paid attention to during screen stretching.
(1) Choose a suitable screen. If the screen has problems such as uneven weaving and non-vertical warp and weft, it will cause uneven tension and affect the quality of screen stretching.
(2) Choose a suitable screen frame. First, choose a screen frame of appropriate size, specification and material according to the requirements of the printing process. And ensure that the screen frame and the screen have an appropriate bonding area.
(3) Choose a suitable screen adhesive. According to the material of the screen frame and screen and the requirements of the printing process, choose the appropriate screen adhesive.
(4) The screen stretching equipment must meet the requirements of screen stretching. For example, the specifications of the chuck must be consistent, and the firmness of the screen clamping must be consistent. All parts of the screen stretching equipment operate well.
(5) The tension of the screen stretching must be uniform and appropriate. Determine the corresponding screen stretching tension according to different screens to avoid excessive or insufficient tension. At the same time, pay attention to ensuring that the tension of the entire screen surface is uniform. In particular, pay attention to the consistency of the tension at the four corners and the center of the screen frame.
