Discuss       How       The      Screen

                  Printing Technique Affect In The
                  Current Market

                     The    screen     printing    process

                  evolved    over   the   years.   Today,   it
                  offers    ample      innovation       and
                  creativity,  thus  playing  a  major  role
                  in  the  printing  industry  because  of
                  the  availability  of  advanced  screen
                  printing  machines,  UV  technology

                  coupled     with   the   availability   of
                  innovative     special    effects    inks.
                  Screen    printing    is   now   quicker,
                  cheaper,    produces     better   quality
                  images,    and   offers   a   number    of            Fig. 4 Exposure Machine Table Type
                  special  applications.  But  advanced
                  screen  printing  with  a  high  level  of

                  automation  is  not  everybody’s  cup
                  of  tea.  Having  advanced  machines
                  in   place   is   not   sufficient   to   run   a
                  profitable screen printing business.


                 There  is  no  profit  from  the  press  of

                 a  button  like  an  ATM  card.  There  is
                 no shortcut. Because not only does
                 the       set-up       process        take
                 considerably      longer     than    other
                 techniques,  but  being  able  to  truly                 Fig. 5  Flatbed Rotary Printing Table
                 master        printing       high-quality
                 images     using   the   screen   printing

                 process    also   takes   much     longer,
                 because     there    are   a   number    of
                 variables     involved.    Today,    there
                 exist  different  systems  designed  to
                 help    screen    printers    to   achieve
                 better     results.   But    it   revolves

                 around      the   simple     concept     or
                 standardization        of    the    entire
                 screen printing process.
