Characteristics of Stainless Steel Screen in Screen Printing

Jul. 27, 2022

Stainless steel screen has become the most ideal screen material in the screen printing industry, especially in the electronics industry.

In high-precision products, it is often used to print high-definition and high-quality graphics, especially suitable for PCB circuit board printing, microelectronics, photoelectric display, liquid crystal display, vacuum display, solar cells, insulation oil, resistance solder oil, solder paste, film switch, dashboard, glass-ceramic, panel, etc.

In recent years, screen printing has also been widely used in packaging, decoration, advertising, posters and other aspects.

Stainless steel wire mesh manufacturers share the following characteristics of stainless steel wire mesh:

 

1. Can be printed with a variety of inks.

Stainless steel screen printing has the characteristics of missing printing, so it can use any kind of ink and paint, such as oily, water-based, synthetic resin, powder and other inks, under different conditions, any material can meet all kinds of printing for various purposes.

Screen printing ink produces a variety of coatings, and printing requires a variety of ink pigment particle size to be fine, stainless steel screen printing as long as it can pass through the stainless steel screen mesh ink and paint can be used.

All screen printing inks are wide. Beyond the definition of ordinary ink. There are pastes, adhesives or solid powder. Therefore, screen printing inks are sometimes collectively referred to as "printing materials".

2. Soft layout and low printing pressure.

Stainless steel screen printing plate is soft and flexible, and the printing pressure is low, so it can be printed not only on soft materials such as paper and textiles, but also on high hardness plates such as glass, metal, hard plastic and so on. It's easy to print directly on the surface of the molded product.

 

3. Strong light resistance.

Stainless steel screen printing has the characteristics of leaky brushes. So a variety of stains and colors can be used, as well as thicker pigments. Therefore, we can easily place light-resistant pigments and fluorescent pigments. Inject ink to keep the printed matter glossy, not affected by temperature and sunlight, and even glow at night. The preparation of stainless steel screen printing ink is simple. For example, light-resistant materials can be prepared directly into the ink.

Because the light resistance of screen printing products is stronger than other types of printing products, it is more suitable for outdoor advertising and signage.

4. Thick ink layer and strong covering power.

The thickness of ink layer of stainless steel screen offset printing and letterpress printing is only a few microns, the thickness of gravure printing is about 12um, the thickness of flexographic screen printing ink layer is 10um, the ink layer of stainless steel screen printing far exceeds the thickness of the above ink layer can reach 30-100um. The thickness of stainless steel wire mesh of special printed circuit board can reach 1000um.

Use foaming ink to create Braille ideas. After foaming, the thickness of the ink layer can reach 300um. Therefore, the ink covering ability is very strong. It can be used for pure white printing on black paper or metal plate.

In addition, the thick ink layer can be used in printed circuit boards and other industrial products. Stainless steel screen printing ink layer is thick, printing graphics have a strong three-dimensional sense, which is comparable to other printing methods.

If the general printing method uses white to cover the underlying background, it needs to be copied three to four times in the same part, while stainless steel screen printing and screen printing can only be done once. It is widely used because of the thick ink layer, good feel and strong three-dimensional feeling. Of course, you can also control the thickness of the ink layer.  Stainless steel screen printing can be used not only for monochrome printing, but also for color matching and screen color printing.

 

5. Stainless steel screen printing is flexible and diverse.

Stainless steel screen printing, like other types, can be industrialized and mass produced.

At the same time, it has the characteristics of convenient plate making, low price, various printing methods, flexible, easy to master technology and so on. So it has developed rapidly in recent years.
