Flat Screen Printing Machines
topic
Flat bed screen printing machines advance fabric in steps equal to the screen repeat length, lower flat screens onto the stationary fabric, and force print paste through open areas of the screen mesh using a reciprocating squeegee at printing rates of 500 to 1200 impressions per hour, with each screen applying one colour in the design repeat and up to 20 screens being used sequentially for complex multi-colour designs.
Role
Provides the primary printing method for high-quality fashion fabric printing with large pattern repeats up to 2 metres, complex multi-colour designs, and specialty printing effects including discharge, devore, and pigment print that require controlled paste application pressure and precise screen registration, with flat screen printing occupying the premium quality segment of screen printing for limited edition runs and fashion fabric production.
