Screen Printing Column (2)

~Screen printing is wonderful~

It is said that the screen printing method can print anything except water and air. Why?
This is because the screen printing method is stencil printing. The major difference between the screen printing method and other printing methods is that the ink is directly transferred from the plate to the material to be printed. In other printing methods, the ink on the plate is transferred to a transfer plate, which is then retransferred to the substrate for printing. For this reason, the ink used must be able to wet the plate as well as the substrate to be printed.
On the other hand, in the screen printing method, the ink does not need to wet the plate.This means that it can handle a wide variety of inks. In addition, when developing high-performance inks, there is no need to consider wettability with the printing plate, which reduces the hurdles in ink development. Inkjet printers, which have recently become popular at home, use special ink for everyone. This is because the ink needs to be ejected in small droplets. You don't even need screen printing. Therefore, the screen printing method can perform high-precision printing with a simple mechanism.
Let me give you an example of how easy it is to print anything. The first is glue printing. You can purchase glue from a stationery store nearby and print with the HP-320 introduced last time. No special ink is required.
Next is chocolate printing. Crush the chocolate finely and put it in a cup and boil it in hot water. Once the chocolate has melted, place it on the plate and print quickly before it cools. If the workpiece is white chocolate, a chocolate-colored pattern will be printed on the white fabric. Screen printing is also applied to conductive printing on semiconductors and solar cells. A single printer can handle everything from semiconductors to food products!! This is the wonder of the screen printing method.
First of all, please try various printing with the HP-320 hand-printing screen printer. I think you will come up with new ideas.
