Screen printing & UV curing equipment for all shapes & sizes
Henry L Newman
For thousands of years the silk screen printing technique has been used for countless applications requiring heavy ink deposit, vivid colors, and flexibility for various shapes and sizes to be printed. Screens today can be nylon or polyester fabric stretched tight on a wood or aluminum frame. Screen makers can burn in an image from a film that can be used thousands of times for printing one color at a time. The basic flat technique positions the screen slightly over the flat object to be printed and by pulling the squeegee over the print area with enough pressure to push the ink through the stencil. The ink will normally have to be dried or cured depending on its type by ambient air, heat, or ultraviolet exposure. We specialize in difficult 3/D or non-flat decorating applications. When printing the sidewall of a cylindrical object for example, our machines sometimes hold the item to be printed with special tooling to allow it to turn and traverse under a stationary screen with the squeegee following over its center or apex. Printing plastic items made from glass, polyethelyne or polypropolyne, a flame exposure pre-treatment may be needed for ink adhesion. Todays modern inks use ultraviolet, UV exposure to dry, cure the ink. This offers many advantages and provides an excellent upgrade to your application.
