Screen printing is a method for printing pictures by compelling printing ink or glue with the guide of a squeegee through a uniquely arranged screen square to enlist a print on a substrate, for example, texture, paper, cowhide, T-shirt and so on. It is additionally alluded to as Serigraphy or Mitography. This printing system is broadly utilized by a few craftsmen and most printing houses for the execution of their activities since it can be utilized as a part of imprinting on for all intents and purposes all surfaces, for example, papers, plastics, materials, calfskin, glass, wood, elastic and so on.
There are two primary sorts of screens that are utilized for screen printing. Worldly Screens keep going for a shorter timeframe. They are reasonable for enlisting single or constrained prints on garments and papers. They are anything but difficult to get ready and does not require a great deal of cash or exertion. Cases of worldly screens are paper stencil screens and light wax screens.
Nonetheless, changeless Screens have quite a while traverse and if appropriately watched over, can keep going forever. They can be utilized as a part of printing products, hundreds and even a large number of prints. Their readiness in correlation with the fleeting screens requests impressive exertion and cash. Cases of lasting screens incorporate photographic screens, enamel screens and shellac screens.
There are different methods for creating screens for printing. Some of these have been point by point in discourse beneath.
1. Paper Stencil Screen Preparation-This paper stencil screen is fundamentally the same as the stencil planning however this is an augmentation of it. It includes the exchange of the completed outline onto the paper to be utilized, while removing the positive regions (the picture to be printed) of the paper. The readied stencil is then appended to the extended screen hinder with the guide of a veiling tape. Enough stipends are left to fill in as ink stores. The screen is prepared for printing.
2. Flame Wax screen/Shellac Screen/Lacquer screen planning The preliminary procedures in these strategies for screen arrangement are the same. The main contrast is the material utilized as a part of covering the negative territories of the screen which may either be liquid wax, shellac or finish. The completed outline is exchanged onto the extended screen piece. With the guide of a brush, apply the liquid wax or diminished shellac or veneer to hinder the negative territories of the outline. Test screen for pinholes by completing a test print. Piece pinholes if there are any. The readied screen is prepared for printing. Lacquered screens are exceptionally solid and more prudent as far as quality and amount. They are useful for basic, striking plans.
3. Photographic Screen Preparation-The photographic screen arrangement includes the utilization of light in creating or bringing out outlines onto the screen. The wellsprings of the light can be characteristic or fake. In this manner, there are two fundamental methods for making photographic screens accordingly the utilization of the sun powered vitality (sun) amid the day and the utilization of the solid bright light bulbs in the uncovering or shooting box. In all these two ways, the screens must be covered in the darkroom with an answer of photograph emulsion blended with a sensitizer. The screen is set oblivious space to dry.
In the sun powered vitality strategy, within or empty piece of the covered screen is loaded with a sack of fine sand on a level wooden board and flipped around. The positive piece of the paper (where the outlines are) is put on the frontal piece of the screen and secured with a bit of material. The entire thing is presented to the sun powered vitality (sun) for somewhere in the range of couple of minutes. The span is reliant on the power of the sun. The screen is then evacuated and washed under running water. The plan territories will be left open with the negative zones blocked.
In utilizing the creating or shooting confine the dull room, after the screen is covered with the photograph emulsion and sensitizer arrangement, it is left to dry. The plan is then set with look up on the glass of the shooting box. The frontal piece of the dried covered screen is put on the outline with within or empty part up. A sack loaded with fine sand or substantial dresses pivoted with stones are set in the empty piece of the screen just to guarantee firm contact between the glass plate, the paper with the plan and the screen. The lights in the shooting box are exchanged on for around five minutes. The term can be pretty much relying upon the number and watts of the bright light bulbs in the shooting box. The screen is expelled and washed under running water. A short time later, it is dried and prepared for printing.
The accompanying advances are taken after when printing with arranged screens.
. Set up the printing table.
. Place Substrate (shirt, hanky and so on.) on the printing table.
. Position the screen (empty side up) on the substrate.
. Bring small printing glue into the non-picture territory (ink repository).
. Draw pull glue over the picture region of the screen with the squeegee tilted at a sensible point to enroll a print.
. Go over the print if more profound print is required.
. Delicately expel, wash and dry screen for sometime later.
. Enable print to dry and iron outline to settle.
There are some vital hints that ought to be noted when printing. These are:
- Correct situation of screens-The craftsman should give careful consideration to how he/she positions the screen on the substrate or material to be printed. On the off chance that screens are wrongly put on the substrate it would bring about wrong enrollment of outlines at assigned territories of the substrate. Additionally, if the prints are rehashed on the fabric in an extraordinary example or course of action, there will be holes or tumult in the plan.
- Appropriate weight on the squeegee-The weight applied on the squeegee ought to be direct and well idea of. This is on the grounds that if the weight applied is less, a few territories of the screen won't be enrolled in print. Then again, if a great deal of weight is applied on the screen, it will bring about the obscuring of outlines on the substrate. This implies the printing ink or glue will reach out past the limits or edges of the outline. In this way, the weight applied on the squeegee ought not be too light neither should it be excessively.
- Instant washing of screens-The screens utilized for printing ought to be washed promptly subsequent to printing to stay away from the blockage of screens. This is because of the way that when the printing ink buildup is permitted to remain on the screen for at some point it stops to be washed off from the screen bringing about its blockage. It is suitable at that point to wash the screen directly after the printing with sudsy or warm water and froth to evacuate all ink deposits. In any case, it ought to be washed tenderly else it will bring about the formation of pinholes which are little territories of the covered screen which are free from the covering arrangement or the tearing or diminishment of strain in the tight extended screen.
Creating printing screens physically or mechanically is the decision of the craftsman in view of the assets available to him and the time s/he needs to convey. Every one of the screen advancement procedures and its printing system requires incredible tolerance and assurance in order to deliver exact duplication of outlines.
