Screen Printing Parameters: Real-World Case Studies

Screen Printing Parameters - Some Examples Below

Case 1

• Screen Mesh: 300 mesh

• Screen Material: Nylon

  • Because the printed object is curved, the elastic screen is needed to prevent squeegee from deformation

• Printed Object Material: ABS

• Ink: Find Cause Ink (ABS Special Ink)

• Solvent: Find Cause Solvent (Slow Evaporating)

• The Amount of Solvent Added: 6%

• Squeegee Used: 70 Degree Bevel Squeege

• 1.5mm Height between Screen Plate and Printed Object: 1.5mm

• Scraping Direction: Left to Right

Case 2

• Screen Mesh: 300 mesh

• Screen Material: Tetoron

• • We use harder screen cloth because the squeege will leave the screen instantly after scarping. This can reduce ink diffusion.

• Printed Object Material: ABS

• Find Cause Ink (ABS Special Ink)

• Solvent: Find Cause Solvent (Slow Evaporating)

• The Amount of Solvent Added: 6%

• Squeegee Used: 80 Degree Rectangular Squeegee

• There is etching pattern on the surface of the printed object. Threrefore, we use harder rectangular squeegee so that the it is sealed with printed object when scarping.

• Height between Screen Plate and Printed Object: 2.5mm

• Scraping Direction: Left to Right

Case 3

• Screen Mesh: 300 mesh

• Screen Material: Tetoron

• We use harder screen cloth because the squeege will leave the screen instantly after scarping. This can reduce ink diffusion.

• Printed Object Material: ABS

• Find Cause Ink (ABS Special Ink)

• Find Cause Solvent (Slow Evaporating)

• The Amount of Solvent Added: 8%

• Squeegee Used: 70 Degree Rectangula Squeege

• The surface of the printed object is flat and smooth. Therefore, we use regular rectangular squeegee so that it will not damage the screen when scarping.

• Height between Screen Plate and Printed Object: 2mm

• Scraping Direction: Left to Right
