Process Introduction Screen printing, that is, screen printing, refers to the use of a screen as a plate base, and through the method of the photosensitive plate, using the screen printing plate graphic part of the mesh can be through the ink, the non-graphic part of the mesh can not be through the ink printing principle, made with the graphic screen printing plate. Principle of screen printing The basic principle of screen printing is: the use of screen printing plate graphic part of the mesh through ink, the basic principle of the non-graphic part of the mesh is not through ink printing. When printing, ink is poured into one end of the screen printing plate, and a certain pressure is applied to the ink part of the screen printing plate with the scraper while moving towards the other end of the screen printing plate. The ink is squeezed by the scraper from the mesh of the graphic part to the substrate as it moves. Due to the viscosity of the ink and imprinting fixed within a certain range, the printing process scraper and screen plate and substrate line contact, contact line with the scraper moving, because of the screen plate and substrate to maintain a certain gap between the printing screen plate through its tension and produce a reaction force on the scraper, the reaction force is called resilience. Due to the action of resilience, the screen printing plate and substrate are only mobile line contact, and the other parts of the screen printing plate and the substrate is out of state. The ink and screen fracture motion ensures printing precision and avoids dirty substrate. When the scraper is lifted after scraping the entire page, the screen plate is also lifted, and the ink is gently scraped back to the initial position, so that is a printing stroke. Screen printing consists of five elements, screen printing plate, scraper, ink, printing table, and substrate. The graphic accuracy of silk screen printing is lower than that of the photochemical method, but the process is simple, high production efficiency, low cost, and suitable for mass production of screen printed products with low requirements.
