Printing Screen - High Tension and Durability

Printing screen has ultra-thin diameters.

Printing screen is commonly made of polyester mesh or stainless steel wire mesh. Compared with the polyester mesh, the stainless steel woven wire clothfor printing has high tension and excellent resistance against corrosion from the chemicals, so it can supply a long service life.

The stainless steel printing screen is made of ultra-thin thickness and uniform aperture size, it can assure the accuracy of the printing and reduce the error rate.

The weaving method of the printing screen is mainly the plain weave, which supplies a square opening. The roll width is mainly 40", 48" and 60", the length of the printing screen is mainly 100'.

The printing screen is mainly used in the printing of silk, ceramic, glass and other printing industries.

Operating principle of the screen printing

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses stainless steel woven wire cloth or polyester mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.

Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen and serigraph.

Specifications

• Material: stainless steel wire 304, 304L, 316, 316L.
• Mesh: 40 to 400 mesh.
• Wire diameter: 18 microns - 160 microns.
• Cloth thickness: 36 micron - 320 microns
• Width: 40", 48", 60".
• Standard length: 100'.

Features

• Super precision. The ultra-thin wire diameter and aperture size and the uniform diameter openings can assure the precision of the printing.
• High tension. The tension of the stainless steel wire is higher than the polyester mesh and high stability.
• Low extension. The stainless steel printing mesh can stretch a small degree under high tension .
• Highly wear resistance. The wear resistance of the stainless steel wire is far higher than the fiberglass.
• Non-electrostatic. The characteristic of the stainless steel wire is non-electrostatic. So it can make the printing performance more attractive.
• Good Heat-melting Resistance. It is a special feature of steel wire mesh. Suitable for heat-melting ink;
• Good Solvent Resistance. The stainless steel wire cloth can prevent the solvents from damaging the wire cloth, so it can ensure the safety of the printing.

Applications

• The printing screen can be used in the printing of textiles, ceramics and glass.
• The printing screen can be used in the printing of chip electrical components, solar battery, FPD, LCD, PCB and other elements.

Printing screen can be used in the glass printing industries.

Printing screen is widely used in the textile and silk printing processes.
