Investigation of influence of technological modes of screen printing on imprints quality

Abstract

To ensure high-quality screen printing, critical parameters such as printing speed and pressure must be carefully controlled. The printing speed is directly proportional to the squeegee pressure, therefore, decreasing the printing speed will generally lead to a decrease in squeegee pressure, thus reducing the overall number of defects caused by pressure. Squeegee pressure is the contact pressure exerted by the squeegee blade on the stencil surface during printing. The object of the study was a viscose fabric printed with Ausburnner mixture. Three technological printing modes of the required squeegee pressure on the printing plate were chosen.
