What is screen printing, screen printing and heat press transfer printing process the same?

First introduce screen printing

Screen printing is the basic principle: the use of screen printing plate graphic part of the network through the ink, non-graphic part of the mesh is impermeable to the basic principles of printing.When printing, ink is poured onto one end of the screen printing plate, and a certain pressure is applied to the ink portion on the screen printing plate by a squeegee squeegee to move to the other end of the screen printing plate.Of course, a single screen printing can only print a single color. If you need to print multiple color patterns, you need to be divided into multiple printing, printing orders if less.Suitable for printing large quantities of orders.

Heat transfer printing is very simple, is the use of Heat press machine after high temperature and pressure to the pattern transfer to the product.First of all need to have a computer, Epson printer, Heat transfer paper and heat transfer machine, the first pattern printed on the transfer paper,Then in the heat press machine with the transfer of the pattern on the hot stamping needs to be printed on the product.

What is screen printing?

Screen printing consists of five elements, namely, screen printing plate, scraping scraper, ink, printing table and substrate.The basic principle of screen printing is: the use of screen printing plate graphic part of the mesh through the ink, non-graphic part of the basic principle of ink through the printing.At the end of the screen printing plate into the ink, with a scraper blade in the screen printing plate on the ink part of the application of a certain pressure, while moving toward the other end of the screen printing plate. The ink is squeezed onto the substrate by the scraper in the mesh of the graphic portion during movement.Due to the sticky role of the ink leaving the imprint fixed within a certain range, the printing process scraper and the screen printing plate and the substrate was always in line, the contact line with the scraper movement and move, because the screen printing plate and substrate Between the screen to maintain a certain gap, making the screen printing plate through its own tension to produce the reaction force on the scraper, the reaction force called the resilience.Due to the role of resilience, so that screen printing plate and the substrate was only mobile line contact, and other parts of the screen printing plate and the release of the state. So that ink and wire mesh breakage movement, to ensure the printing size accuracy and to avoid rubbing the substrate. When the scraper is scratched through the entire layout, the screen plate is lifted and the ink is lightly scraped back to its original position. This is a printing trip.heat transfer paper

Printing adaptability flat printing, embossing, gravure printing methods are generally only three prints on the plane printing. The screen printing can not only print on the plane, but also in the surface, spherical and convex surface of the substrate printing.On the other hand, screen printing can not only print on hard objects, but also in the soft material printing, not subject to the texture of the substrate restrictions. In addition, the screen printing in addition to direct printing, but also according to the need for indirect printing method of printing, that is, first screen printing in gelatin or silicone version, and then transferred to the substrate. So it can be said that screen printing adaptability is very strong, wide range of applications.laser transfer paper
