WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?
First a film positive is made of the artwork, this film is then laid over a fine mesh material which has been tightly stretched and fastened to a frame. The mesh material has been coated with a light sensitive emulsion and the film and screen are then exposed to a mercury vapor light. This exposure hardens the emulsion on the screen creating a solid barrier. The portion of the screen that was covered by the film positive remains soft and is washed off the screen with a pressure hose and water. The completed screen now allows ink to pass through this washed out area while preventing ink from passing through the hardened emulsion. This washed out portion of the screen is now an exact duplicate of the artwork to be placed on the part. The screen is then mounted in the screen printing machine and clamped in place. A fixture is mounted under the screen which is designed to hold the part to be printed in the correct location. The part is then placed in the fixture and ink is added to the screen. The ink is squeezed through the screen with a rubber squeegee while the part is moved under the screen, allowing the ink to be placed on the part. |
