Screen printing

 

Over the past 65 years, screen printing on metal and plastic foil surfaces has been a core competency of Mekoprint.

Mekoprint started out with etched metal signs and self-adhesive lacquer decals, but over the years, screen printing has become a technology offered by the majority of Mekoprint divisions.

Mekoprint has continuously acquired extensive experience and excellent skills in screen printing. Today, screen printing is used in the production of printed electronics, industrial graphic solutions, control panels and metal solutions.

 

In the printing industry, Mekoprint is now one of the leading suppliers of printed electronics and graphic solutions for industrial customers in Northern Europe.

Together with its customers, Mekoprint has developed and pushed the boundaries of how screen printing can be used – both on new materials and in automated production setups.

The printing proces is an ancient technique that originated in China, where silk was stretched on a wooden frame – which is why the technique is also known as silk-screen printing.

Today, polyester or metal fabric is used, which is stretched on a metal screen which, with the application of dense, photo active emulsion, forms the image to be printed. With the blocking emulsion, ink only penetrates the fabric in the intended pattern.

The design is built up of layers with the use of a unique screen for each printing.

In the structure of each screen, screen materials are assessed in combination with the subject’s level of detail and layer thickness.
