The difference between UV flatbed printer and silk screen printing

Silkscreen-Printing1. Cost comparison.

Traditional screen printing requires plate making, printing costs are high, and screen printing dots cannot be eliminated. Mass production is required to reduce costs, and printing of small batches or single products cannot be achieved.

UV flatbed printers do not need such complicated typesetting design, only need simple image processing, after calculating the relevant values, you can directly use the software to operate, you can print a product, inkjet printers, not limited to small quantities, greatly saving time from certain angles and cost.

2. Process comparison.

The screen printing process is complex. On the basis of the original manuscript, the plate making and printing process are selected according to different printing materials. There are many specific processes, different printer materials have different processes, and the overall operation is more troublesome.

The lithography process of UV flatbed printers is relatively simple. Just put the printed materials on the shelf, fix the position, simply typeset and position the selected high-definition pictures in the software, and then start printing. The overall printer pattern is consistent for different materials, but only a few materials require coating and varnish effects.

3. Printing effect comparison.

The patterns of screen printing products have poor firmness, are easily scratched off, and are not waterproof. After printing, it needs to be air-dried for a while to dry completely.

The color of the lithography machine of the UV flatbed printer is relatively comprehensive. The unique color management system does not need to adjust the color by itself, and the printing effect is bright. Printed products also have many advantages such as waterproof, scratch resistance and wear resistance. The important point is that they are not limited by the material, as long as the print width and unevenness are within the range allowed by the printer.

4. Environmental protection comparison.

Screen printing is a traditional printing process, which is harmful to the production environment and the external environment, smells bad, emits waste ink, and pollutes seriously. The UV flatbed printer adopts new uv ink, which is green and environmentally friendly, and has extremely low harm to operators and the environment. The problem of choosing a uv flatbed printer should be considered from the selection of printer nozzles, the stability of the machine, the cost of later maintenance (the price of replacing nozzles), after-sales service and other factors.
