Screen printing is a popular method of producing digital images. Before you start printing, you must know what is screen printing mesh.

Screen printing mesh is divided into metal mesh and chemical fiber mesh from the weaving material. Metal mesh is generally made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of high tension and low elongation, but it is very expensive and not very widely used, it is often used in high precision industries. Chemical fiber mesh is generally divided into polyester and nylon material. The difference between the two is that the polyester screen printing mesh has a low elongation, the mesh is more difficult to deformation and high printing accuracy. The nylon material has high elasticity and wear resistance, and can be used in non-planar material printing and filtration industry. From the weaving process, it can be divided into plain mesh and twill mesh. Plain mesh has high printing accuracy, while twill mesh has high tension characteristics.

The specifications of screen printing mesh are often distinguished by the mesh count. The mesh count is directly related to the quality of the finished image. Mesh is the size of the grid that transfers the ink to the substrate. The higher the mesh count, the more detail will be visible on the finished image.

Screen printing mesh specification unit T refers to the number of mesh per inch length, and 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so the screen printing mesh international standard unit 1T = 2.54 mesh, for example, 100T = 254 mesh.

There is also a specification unit of screen printing mesh is the silk diameter, the unit expressed in microns, the same mesh number of silk diameter may also be different. Usually the finer the diameter of the wire, the easier it is to get under the ink, the better the printing effect.

The mesh count of a screen depends on the design level and the type of inks used to fuse the design. Not the higher the mesh is the better, mainly according to the fine degree of printed graphics to determine the mesh, the finer the printed lines, the mesh needs to be higher. For example, garment printing generally uses 100 mesh-200 mesh screen, and circuit board text printing generally uses 300 mesh-350 mesh.

Because of its many advantages and wide range of applications, screen printing has developed into a printing method that is inseparable from all walks of life. Screen printing has the following characteristics compared with other printing methods.

  1. low cost, fast results

Screen printing can be mechanized production, but also manual work, The cost of equipment and materials required for this printing method is lower than other printing methods,and its plate making methods and printing methods are also relatively simple, easy to master the technology.

  1. Adapt to the printing of irregular substrate surface

Screen printing screen has flexibility, in addition to printing on flat objects, can also be printed on curved, spherical or uneven surface of shaped objects, such as a variety of glassware, plastic, bottles and jars, lacquer, wood, etc.

  1. High adhesion and adaptability of ink

Other printing has high requirements for ink. Screen printing due to the use of leakage printing method, the requirements of the ink is not particularly strict, liquid ink, powdered oil black, water-based ink, oil-based ink can be used, but also available in a variety of coatings or color paste, gum paste, etc. for printing.

  1. Thick ink layer, strong three-dimensional sense

Among various printing methods, screen printing has a thicker ink layer, rich graphic texture and a strong sense of three-dimensional.

  1. Strong light resistance and good color formation

Screen printing can make the printing luster unchanged, not affected by temperature and sunlight, and can maintain the printing effect for a long time. By changing the thickness of the ink layer for printing, it increases the texture and color saturation of printing.

  1. Wide range of substrates

Screen printing is highly adaptable to printing materials, claiming to be a superb printing process on all substrates of different materials except air and water, and is not limited by printing shape and area size.

  1. Flexibility and versatility of printing size

By adjusting the size of the screen, very small patterns can be printed, as well as large format patterns, without being limited by printing size.

Screen printing substrate materials: metal, plastic, ceramics, glass, paper, fabric, leather, etc. Regardless of flat, curved, thick and thin can be screen printing, so people called “universal” printing technology. Screen printing has a wide range of applications, and can be used in light industry, electronics, glass, machinery, automotive, textiles, chemicals, commerce, art, advertising, construction, packaging and many other industries of product printing. It plays an irreplaceable role in decorating products, beautifying people’s lives, commercial advertising and electronic industrial technology.At present, screen printing has developed into a relatively complete industrial system of categories.

Here are a few screen printing commonly used industries:

  1. Textile printing: clothing printing, fabric printing, scarf / towel printing, curtain printing, etc.
  2. Glass printing: automotive glass, home appliance glass, stained glass, architectural glass, photovoltaic glass, glassware, etc.
  3. Ceramic pattern paper: floor tile, wall tile, pottery, porcelain, dishes, etc.
  4. Electronic products: circuit boards, touch screens, membrane switches, etc.
  5. Advertising graphics: posters, signage, acrylic, advertising books, etc.
  6. Packaging printing: cartons, cosmetic packaging, wine bottles and boxes, cigarette boxes and labels, self-adhesive labels, plastic bottles, etc.

There are many more applications of screen printing, it has penetrated into our daily life and production, with the update of the process, its application will be more and more extensive.

Finding a good screen printing mesh manufacturer is not as easy as you might think. First, you need to find a reliable supplier. Many suppliers will not have all the necessary information to help you in making a decision. It is therefore important to do a little bit of research before you decide to do business with a particular company. However, once you do, you should be able to find a good manufacturer in no time.

A reliable screen printing mesh manufacturer will have all of the necessary equipment to provide you with the quality screen printing mesh you need. The scale of the screen printing mesh manufacturer is important, and a strong manufacturer can meet the various needs of customers, respond to orders in a timely manner and ship quickly. Its biggest advantage is its high quality and affordable price. There is also a complete service system, professional manufacturers can cooperate with you to choose the most suitable mesh, and constantly adjust through the feedback on production to achieve the most ideal state. Purchasing screen printing mesh from a trusted supplier is the best way to ensure the success of your project.
