The first thing that must be done after screen printing is to clean the screen. A well-maintained screen provides good printing results, has a longer lifespan, and can be used stably. Even procuring a small screen can be quite expensive, and it is by no means a cheap purchase. Not only for improving printing results but also for cost reduction, it is very important to clean the screen properly. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to clean a screen, along with explanatory images. Please check the related links below for more information. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The squeegee is a part that is attached to the squeegee head. If the squeegee is not properly adjusted for parallelism, it will naturally cause variations in the force applied, leading to smudges and inconsistencies in the printed pattern. Therefore, it is essential to first check whether the squeegee is properly aligned before printing. In this article, we will introduce the squeegee parallel adjustment using our screen printing machine, the "MT-320 series." For more details, please check the related links below. 【Overview】 ■ Squeegee installation procedure ■ Squeegee parallel adjustment procedure *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing the conditions for printing machines in the field of printed electronics. In screen printing, optimizing the conditions of the printing machine is ultimately required, but what kind of condition settings will be necessary in practice? Four important conditions can be listed: [Conditions] ■ Attack angle → Adjusted according to the discharge power ■ Squeegee pressure → The degree to which the paste is scraped off the screen ■ Squeegee speed → Adjusted according to the release from the plate ■ Clearance → Set within a range that does not damage the screen *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce points to improve printing quality in screen printing. Screen printing is possible with three components: paste, screen plate, and printing machine. However, if the conditions of each are not optimized, good printing cannot be achieved. The most important factor is said to be the paste. If the paste is too fluid like water or has too low viscosity, screen printing becomes difficult. Next, the specifications of the screen plate need to be optimized, followed by the conditions of the printing machine. [Features] ■ Good printing cannot be achieved if each condition is not optimized. ■ The paste is considered the most important factor. ■ Paste that is too fluid or too viscous makes screen printing difficult. ■ Optimization of the screen plate specifications and printing machine conditions is required. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Printing Machinery

To perform screen printing, you need "paste," "screen plates," and a "screen printing machine." "Paste" is ink with functional properties. "Screen plates" are produced according to the desired design and the characteristics you want to achieve after printing. The "screen printing machine" sets the paste and screen plates together to carry out the printing. You can choose from standalone machines for R&D or automatic machines for production based on your purpose. 【Features】 ■ Paste - Different inks such as conductive ink, insulating ink, and decorative ink are used according to the application. ■ Screen Plates - Produced according to the desired design and the characteristics you want to achieve after printing. ■ Screen Printing Machine - Selected based on purpose, including standalone machines for R&D and automatic machines for production. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Screen printing" refers to a printing method that uses a screen plate. The screen plate is made by weaving fibers such as stainless steel or polyester in a lattice pattern. It is classified as "stencil printing," where a paste (functional material) is passed through the mesh of the screen plate and transferred onto the workpiece (target object). Parts that should not be transferred are coated with emulsion (a film on the mesh), allowing for the creation of free printing patterns. (In the screen plate manufacturing process, emulsion is applied over the entire surface, and then a desired pattern is cut out using photosensitive emulsion through exposure and development.) [Features] - Printing method using a screen plate - Paste is passed through the mesh of the screen plate and transferred to the workpiece - Classified as stencil printing - Allows for the creation of free printing patterns *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
