Investigation of Mesh Choosing Parameters in Screen Printing System

The mesh, which is made by weaving of natural silk, plastic, or metal fibers, is basic material for screen-printing. Image is created on stretched on a frame in screen-printing. Mesh should be selected correctly for a high quality printing. Therefore, substrates, types of print job and mesh parameters have importance. Need to know more about to mesh, yarn type, yarn thickness, frequency of weaving, stretching tension, the kind of weaving, etc. In this study, for a high quality screen-printing, mesh variables examined in detail and optimum conditions indicated, with the aim of increase productivity, minimize to losses time, material and labor. As a result, this information’s for obtaining a high quality printing with screen-printing system have importance as a guide. Also resolution of the image, amount of print run and viscosity of the printing ink, factors affecting the selection of mesh.
