The trends of the multi-process screen printing solution

Hello Guys, Do you Know that
The very mobile or high end smart phones or ipods, tablets that you are holding in your hands have the imprints of screen printing;

The helmets you wear, the bike you ride have designer decals on both sides have the imprints of screen printing;

The car you drive has the speedometers and dashboards – screen printed. 
If you are a cricket fan, notice that almost every bat has multiple designer stickers screen printed, and t-shirts, helmets, PVC cheer sticks, balloons, or flags that the cricket fans are holding in the stadium – all screen printed. 
And do not forget, we are living in high technology electronic age. Every electronic product that you use has a PCB (printed circuit board) inside, screen printed of course

Screen printing has wider applications in commercial graphics (packaging included), industrial (almost every industrial segment needs the imprint of screen printing process), garment decoration and textile printing.
Of course, the screen printing including the manual type, semi-automatic type and fully automatic screen printing machine, the material in sheet form feeding and in roll form feeding two method, which we calls it roll to roll screen printing system

The first trends of screen printing solution is that screen, offset and digital printing will co-exist and combination.

There has been a growing trend of many offset printers and packaging printers embracing screen printing process for carrying out print finishing in house instead of depending on outsourcing.
the second trends of screen printing solution is multi-color screen printing machine, such as 2 color screen printing machine, 3 color screen printing press, 4 color screen printing system, etc.


For the your further more screen printing details, we can supply one-stop solution to you, if you need.

What factors will influence the roll to roll screen printing speed

What factors will  influence the roll to roll screen printing speed ?

The roll to roll screen printing speed can be influenced by several factors. Some of these factors include:


  • Printing length: The length of the print run can impact the speed of the printing process. The longer the print run, the longer it will take to complete the printing process.
  • Design complexity: The complexity of the design being printed can also have an impact on the printing speed. More intricate designs may require slower printing speeds to ensure accurate placement and registration.
  • Screen tension: The tension of the printing mesh can also have an impact on the speed of the printing process. Lower tension screens may require slower printing speeds to ensure even ink application.
  • Printing machine speed: The speed of the printing machine itself can also impact the speed of the printing process. Faster machines can complete the printing process more quickly than slower machines.
  • Material thickness and characteristics: The thickness, surface tension, and other characteristics of the material being printed on can impact the printing speed.
  • Screen mesh count and tension: Higher mesh counts and tension can lead to slower printing speeds.
  • Ink viscosity and flow rate: The viscosity and flow rate of the ink can affect the printing speed. High viscosity inks will print slower and require more pressure.
  • Squeegee pressure and angle: The pressure and angle of the squeegee can influence the printing speed and quality.
  • Printing machine type: Different printing machine types have different capabilities and may have limitations in printing speed.
  • Operator skill and technique: The skill and technique of the operator can impact the printing speed and quality.



What's the Big Deal with Heat Transfer Label?

Nowadays, Most of the underwear, hats, jeans,shirts,skirts and dresses manufacturers take up the heat transfer label on their garments. We called they are professional manufacturers.


So why are they so popular in garment industry? Not only does heat transfer label label create a stylish design that is less intrusive than a fabric equivalent, but there are also savings in both cost and time to be made.


Heat transfer labels made process takes place in two parts. In the first stage, the design and text is printed on the transfer film or paper by silkscreen printing, the classic and conventional printing method on heat transfer label.


In the second stage, Through the heat press machine transfer to garments.


Roll to Roll Silkscreen Printing


Silkscreen printing uses a screen plate to transfer printing ink onto a substrate, one colour at a time. The areas that do not require printing are blocked out by stencil. The ink is applied through a squeegee which moves across the screen frame to fill the open areas of the mesh with ink.


There are two types of silk screen printing methods, sheet-fed silk screen printing and roll to roll silkscreen printing .


The downside of the sheet-fed silkscreen heat transfer label printing is that it can only print one colour at a time , requiring drying before the next colour can be applied. The printing speed is slow and most of are the semi-automatic configuration.This makes it perfect for one or two colour designs and little quantity production.


The advantage of the roll to roll silk screen printing is very suitable for multicolor images, mass production, and heat transfer label, electronic appliances, membrane switches, panel, soft circuit board, RFID label, IMD label, PCB label printing as well, called roll to roll silkscreen printing system, and it consist of a feeding unit, a screen printing unit and a hot air dryer.

Factors affecting the effect of heat transfer printing

1. Heat transfer printing head

The Heat transfer printing head is mainly composed of a surface film protective layer, a bottom film protective layer and a heating element. The heating element is a conductive silk screen. With the help of the heat generated by the voltage pulse, the coarse particles of the ink layer in the graphic part are raised and melted to complete the ink transfer by thermal diffusion.

The printing speed of heat transfer depends on the time required for each line of graphics. Therefore, the transfer head and the transfer paper should have good heat transfer properties, so that the heat generated by the heating element can quickly pass through the protective layer, the transfer paper substrate and the gap and finally transfer to the surface of the substrate to ensure that the ink has sufficient transfer time.

2. Ink

The composition of heat transfer ink is generally three parts: pigment (pigment or dye), wax and oil. Among them, wax is the main component of heat transfer ink.

During printing, the viscosity of different inks has a direct relationship with the heating temperature, and the heating temperature and the viscosity of the ink should be strictly controlled. Practice has proved that when the heating temperature is 60-100 ℃, when the ink is melted, the viscosity value of the ink is stable at about 0.6pa·s, which is the most ideal. Generally speaking, the closer the ink is to this state, the better the transfer performance.

3. Transfer medium

Chemical properties: Making the ink adhere well and evenly is two important performances of the chemical properties of the transfer paper substrate. The chemical properties of transfer paper in production directly affect the quality of printing.

Good thermal performance: Since the transfer process is achieved by means of high temperature, the material of the transfer paper must be able to withstand the influence of the transfer temperature and keep the properties unchanged.

4. Substrates

Experience has shown that substrates with a slightly rough surface produce better quality prints, which is a characteristic of heat transfer printing. Because the rough surface of the substrate indicates that the substrate has a large surface energy, the ink on the transfer paper can be transferred to the substrate well, and the ideal level and tone can be obtained, but too rough will affect the normal operation of the ink. Transfer is not conducive to the realization of the printing process.
