Screen printing is arguably the most versatile
of all printing processes. It can be used to print on a wide variety
of substrates, including paper, paperboard, plastics, glass, metals,
fabrics, and many other materials, including paper, plastics, glass,
metals, nylon and cotton. Some common products from the screen printing
industry include posters, labels, decals, signage, and all types
of textiles and electronic circuit boards. The advantage of screen
printing over other print processes is that the press can print
on substrates of any shape, thickness and size.
Screen Preparation
Screen (or image transfer) preparation includes a number of steps.
First the customer provides the screen printer with objects, photographs,
text, ideas, or concepts of what they wish to have printed. The
printer must then transfer a "picture" of the artwork
(also called "copy") to be printed into an "image"
(a picture on polyester film) which can then be processed and eventually
used to prepare the screen stencil.
Once the artwork is transferred to a positive image that will be
chemically processed onto the screen fabric (applying the emulsion
or stencil) and eventually mounted onto a screen frame that is then
attached to the printing press and production begins.
