1. Screen printing meshes
Screen printing meshes, as fundamental elements influencing print quality, must be properly selected, in addition to being well-made. The selection of screen printing mesh depends on factors such as:
Number of stitches
This is the number of threads per centimeter, which is crucial when passing ink through the screen printing mesh. The number of threads changes the mesh size, and consequently, their number, which directly affects ink consumption and application. The mesh should not be too large, as this prevents excessive ink leakage, but it's also not recommended to be too small, as this slows down the application process.
Thread diameter
The thread diameter is measured in microns. For finer details, a smaller diameter will be appropriate, but it may be less durable than a larger diameter thread.
Mesh thickness
It is composed of thread diameter, mesh size, and weave structure. Screens are typically made of synthetic mesh—polyester or nylon. However, there are also steel meshes used in heat applications, such as ceramic paints.
2. Screen printing frames
The frame forms the outer boundary of the screen, maintaining the required rigidity. Frames are made of steel, aluminum, or wood, depending on the customer's needs.
Characteristics of frames – type, advantages and disadvantages
Aluminum frame
- light
- does not corrode
- ideal for small and medium formats
- high price
- not very resistant to acids
- wide cross-sections
Steel frame
- heavy dead weight
- long lasting
- low cost
- good impact and bending resistance
- with large formats the frame is not ergonomic
- possibility of corrosion.
