Screen printing

Screen printing technology

Screen printing is the most popular technique of making prints on clothing and other textiles. The printing technique consists of squeezing paint through a form on a specially prepared matrix commonly called a screen.

The screen is covered with an emulsion on which the printed image is reproduced. The ink is pressed through those areas of the screen that are not covered with emulsion. The resulting design is transferred directly to the object or paper/foil depending on the screen printing technique.

Simply put, screen printing is one of many printing techniques. It might seem like a modern invention, but it has been used in the Far East for thousands of years. It is known especially in Japan, where kimonos were decorated with screen printing. What exactly screen printing is and where it is used you will read in the further part of this article.

Screen printing - printing with a square frame

The screen printing technique uses a special printing form – a template usually made of an aluminum frame with a mesh stretched over it. The traditional mesh was made of silk or cotton threads, while nowadays other materials such as nylon, polyester or even metal are used. Screen printing mesh contains about 100-150 fibers per 1 cm. Such a placement of fibers makes it possible to obtain even the most complicated patterns. In order for the mesh to serve as a stencil it must be properly prepared. The whole process consists in covering non-printing places, or to be more precise, meshes of screen printing have to be blocked. How? There are several possibilities. The choice of one method depends on several factors, e.g. the type of ink, screen, edition or expectations. The most common solutions include manual application of a special solution, paper or foil stencils, the use of photosensitive emulsions, and drawing directly on the mesh surface with ink or lithographic pencil.

Screen printing - where can it be used?

This technique is used in many industries. Screen printing can be used for single and multi-colour printing, also in large format. It works well on paper, cardboard, foil as well as on materials made of plastic or metal. Screen printing can also be used on shaped objects like bottles, containers or discs. It is used in the production of printed circuits and membrane keyboards. The textile industry is also using screen printing. T-shirts as well as the prints made on them with the help of screen printing are becoming more and more popular.

A wide range of screen printing purposes makes it a universal marking technique. Printing made with this technique is durable and resistant to UV radiation and moisture. It does not wash off and at the same time is not vulnerable to mechanical damage. Colors are vivid and saturated. Price is also not without significance. Screen printing is one of the cheapest printing methods available on the market. It pays off both for single orders as well as wholesale ones.
