  2. Screen printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing

    Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen in a "flood stroke" to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact.

  3. Plastisol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastisol

    Plastisols are the most commonly used inks for printing designs onto garments, and are particularly useful for printing opaque graphics on dark fabrics. Plastisol inks are not water-soluble. The ink is composed of PVC particles suspended in a plasticizing emulsion, and will not dry if left in the screen for extended periods. Garments don't need ...

  4. Anti-set-off spray powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-set-off_spray_powder

    The problem can occur with most types of printing. Anti-set-off spray powder is generally made from natural starches from plants and vegetables. There remains a demand for soluble powders (sometimes known as vanished powders) based on natural sugars [ 1 ] which are often used when the final printed sheet is to be varnished.

  5. Thick-film technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thick-film_technology

    Screen-printing is the process of transferring an ink through a patterned woven mesh screen or stencil using a squeegee. [8] For improving accuracy, increasing integration density and improving line and space accuracy of traditional screen-printing photoimageable thick-film technology has been developed. Use of these materials however changes ...

  6. C-41 process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-41_process

    C-41 is a chromogenic color print film developing process introduced by Kodak in 1972, [citation needed] superseding the C-22 process.C-41, also known as CN-16 by Fuji, CNK-4 by Konica, and AP-70 by AGFA, is the most popular film process in use, with most, if not all photofinishing labs devoting at least one machine to this development process.

  7. Trap (printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(printing)

    Thinner traps are less visible. Therefore, the trap width is set to a strict minimum, dictated by the maximum amount of misregistration of the entire workflow up to the press. When printing at 150 lpi, traps are usually between 1/150 and 1/300 inch (0.48 pt and 0.24 pt, 0.16 mm and 0.08 mm). These values are usually multiplied by 1.5 or 2 when ...

  8. Stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil

    A stencil technique is employed in screen printing which uses a tightly woven mesh screen coated in a thin layer of emulsion to reproduce the original image. As the stencil is attached to the screen, a contiguous template is not necessary.

  9. UV curing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_curing

    UV curing is adaptable to printing, coating, decorating, stereolithography, and in the assembly of a variety of products and materials. UV curing is a low-temperature, high speed, and solventless process as curing occurs via polymerization . [ 2 ]
