Stainless steel mesh has been used in the printing industry for a long time. Today, the editor has compiled a report on the advantages of stainless steel mesh mainly used in the printing industry for your reference.
The most commonly used plain stainless steel mesh in printing is 150 mesh, 180 mesh, 250 mesh, 400 mesh, etc.
Stainless steel mesh
Controlling the ink flow through stainless steel screen printing plates is actually using a special color separation method to generate screen printing plates. If you need to print a live piece with a long horizontal line parallel to the scraper, then you need to see how the scraper impacts and suddenly stalls in those areas when the ink flow and scraper reach the edge of the emulsion layer.
Stainless steel mesh has many advantages over conventional woolen mesh in terms of flow control when using ink. Stainless steel mesh of the same size is beneficial for better control of ink deposition. Moreover, it will effectively avoid dot enlargement during the printing process, as even in areas with high dot coverage, the overlap rate of such dots is still much lower than that of other dots.
Another advantage of stainless steel dots in screen printing is that all dots are arranged side by side, rather than stacked on top of each other like in traditional stainless steel mesh printing. The reduction of accumulated dots means that the ink shortage caused by the pressure at the top of the dots during the printing process will also be alleviated. The ink passes through stainless steel wire mesh and lands on the openings of the screen printing plate generated by the emulsion, ultimately reaching the outer surface of the substrate.
