Summary
Screen printing, as a representative of stencil printing technology, is known as the "king of decorative printing" due to its unique craftsmanship and wide range of applications. It not only adapts to the printing needs of various complex materials and shapes but also gives prints a strong three-dimensional effect and vibrant colors. Today, let's explore screen printing technology!
Basic Principles and Applications
The basic principle of screen printing is to use a screen as a printing plate base, creating a screen printing plate with graphics through a photosensitive plate-making method. During the printing process, the ink is squeezed by the squeegee and transferred through the mesh openings of the graphic portion to the substrate, forming graphics the same as the original copy.
Screen printing has a very wide range of applications, including glass, plastic, metal, paper, and ceramic packaging industries. Whether it is a flat, curved, spherical, or uneven surface, screen printing can be easily achieved. The ink layer thickness after printing can reach 30μm, giving the printed matter a strong tactile and visual impact.
How Organic Pigments Affect Screen Printing
Ink is the core technology of screen printing, specially formulated by mixing pigments, resins, solvents, and auxiliaries in appropriate proportions. Among them, organic pigments are preferred because of their bright colors, strong coloring power, and good chemical stability. For example, commonly used azo pigments provide bright red and yellow tones at low cost; phthalocyanine pigments give the ink excellent blue and green colors, especially suitable for outdoor use; while high-performance pigments such as quinacridones better meet the stringent requirements of automobiles and high-end packaging.
As the "color engine" of screen printing, the development of organic pigments directly affects the quality and application range of printed matter. With technological advancements, higher-performance and more environmentally friendly organic pigments will continue to emerge, quietly changing our visual world.
