As technology continues to advance, the printing industry is constantly evolving and innovating. As a new printing technology, silicone screen printing is obviously different from traditional printing methods. This article will compare silicone screen printing with traditional printing and explore its innovations.
Printing adaptability: Traditional printing, such as offset printing, embossed printing, gravure printing, etc., can usually only be printed on flat substrates. Silicone screen printing is more adaptable. It can not only print on flat surfaces, but also print on curved surfaces or irregularly shaped objects. This makes silicone screen printing suitable for products such as thermos cups, USB flash drives, and advertising pens. has greater application space in production.
Ink layer thickness and three-dimensional effect: The ink layer thickness of traditional printing methods is usually thin, while the ink layer of silicone screen printing is thick, three-dimensional and rich in texture. This makes silicone screen printed products have stronger visual impact and higher artistic value.
Light resistance: Due to the large thickness of the ink layer of silicone screen printing, the light resistance of silicone screen printing products is stronger than that of other types of printing products, making it more suitable for outdoor advertising and signage.
Silicone screen printing is also non-toxic, tasteless, highly simulated, and resistant to high temperatures, giving it unique advantages in producing simulated products and marking in high-temperature environments. At the same time, the production method of silicone screen printing is relatively simple. Through screen printing, the basic principle that the graphic part of the screen printing plate can penetrate the silica gel, and the non-graphic part of the mesh is impermeable to the silica gel is used for printing. Use a squeegee to apply a certain amount of pressure to the silica gel so that the silica gel is squeezed from the mesh of the graphic part onto the substrate.
