The Problems in Screen Printing and Their Remedies

Printing from screens arranged from paper, silk and others are one of the effective printing strategies in the advanced society. Nonetheless, the printing method represents a few difficulties to novice printers. Along these lines, answers for some of these issues in screen printing have been proposed. The greater part of the issues that are probably going to happen in screen printing are

 Bleeding of hues

 Unequal holes left between rehashes

 Irregular arrangement of screens or square/spilling screens and dirtying of garments

 Formation of shading patches on the material

 Pin openings

I) Bleeding of hues may happen when the shade (printing glue) utilized for the printing procedure is watery. On the off chance that the shade watery, amid printing, at each enlistment, the color will seep to the encompassing regions of the themes accordingly ruining the printed fabric. To take care of that issue, the printing glue must be sufficiently thick so that at each enlistment, the shade will adhere to the texture. Additionally at each enrollment, the under piece of the screen must be cleaned.

ii) Unequal holes left between rehashes may likewise happen when the enrollment of the screen isn't figured. In the event that the enlistment isn't figured, consequent rehashes of the outline may not join accordingly making holes in the middle of the rehashes. The issue could be comprehended by checking the rehashes previously printing begins. The rehashes can be checked by utilizing a shaded chalk to stamp the different rehashes on the texture so that at each rehash one will know where to put the screen. Another arrangement is, a shaded strand could likewise be set at the edge of the plan widthwise with the goal that the screen could be put straightforwardly on the strand when the rehash is enrolled, the strand will be expelled and the outline will be printed.

iii) Irregular arrangement of screen may happen if the rehashes are not checked. To explain it, the rehashes must be checked before the situation of the screen is done to enroll the print. Blocking/spillage of screens and ruining of material may likewise happen when the edges of the screens are not blocked. In the event that the edges are not obstructed, the printing glue will spill through the edges and soil the fabric. This is explained by utilizing a veiling tape to tape around the screen before printing begins.

iv) Formation of shading patches on the material may happen if the color isn't circulated equally on the screen. To take care of this issue, enough shade must be utilized with the goal that the glue will be uniformly conveyed to keep this sketchy impact. Additionally, the pulling of the squeegee must be well done.

v) Pinholes may happen because of any of these:

 The work utilized for the screen may contain a few oils or gums and earth in it. So if the advancement of the screen is done, on the grounds that the silk was not washed to expel the earth and other outside issues in it, it will obstruct the light from going through so amid washing, those bits would be washed off in this way making pin-gaps there. This could be explained by washing the work to evacuate each contamination before extending it onto the screen.

 Pinholes may happen when there is under introduction of the screen amid creating i.e. amid the improvement of the screen, the due time for the screen to create won't be adequate or would not reach and the screen would be washed. On the off chance that that is done, the chemicals would not grow enough on the screen so amid washing its vast majority would be washed off, making pinholes. This could be settled by enabling the screen to grow well, that is to achieve the due time before it is washed.

 Coating of the screen can likewise make pinholes in the screen. This is so if the covering isn't well done most particularly when it is done once. In the wake of washing of the screen, there would be pinholes in the screen. This could be fathomed by covering the screen twice or thrice before creating is finished.
