What Is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a versatile printing technique used to apply detailed designs, patterns, or text onto various surfaces, including metals, plastics, and other substrates. This process involves pressing ink through a fine mesh stencil (screen) onto the material, ensuring precision and durability in the printed design. Ideal for adding logos, markings, or functional elements to products, screen printing offers excellent color vibrancy and adhesion. It is a reliable method for achieving consistent results, even on complex or irregular surfaces, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring high-quality and durable prints.

Our Screen Printing Capabilities

We offer a versatile range of screen printing services, backed by advanced technology and a detail-oriented approach:

Manual and Semi-Automated Systems: Ideal for both high-volume production and custom, low-quantity projects.

Ink Varieties: Wide selection of colors, gloss levels, chemistries, and ink types to meet your specific needs.

  • Thermoset Inks: High solids, high gloss solvent-based inks with superior resistance to chemicals, humidity, and abrasion. Designed for pre-coated metal surfaces, these inks provide excellent flexibility and inter-coat adhesion.
  • Enamel Inks: Solvent-based inks formulated for hard-to-adhere surfaces like glass, metal, wood, and select plastics. Ideal for outdoor applications, these inks offer exceptional durability.

Specialized Applications: Including cylindrical parts, canisters, and tanks for precise markings on curved surfaces.

Additional Marking Methods: Stenciling, rubber stamping, decal application, and other part-marking techniques to suit unique requirements.

The Screen Printing Process

Our screen printing process is designed for accuracy and efficiency:

1. Artwork Preparation: Customers provide artwork in vectorized formats such as EPS (Adobe Illustrator) or PDF for clarity and precision. If artwork is unavailable, our design team can create custom artwork and typesets from scratch.

2. Film Creation: Once artwork is proofed, we use it to create films directly or configure film layouts as needed.

3. Screen Preparation: Screens made from fine mesh polyester or nylon are coated with emulsion. The film is used to expose the screen, leaving open areas where ink will pass through.

4. Printing: Ink is pressed through the open mesh onto the part surface, ensuring high-resolution markings on non-recessed areas.

5. Final Inspection: Every printed part undergoes thorough quality checks to ensure clarity, durability, and adherence to customer specifications.
