The screen printing process is very important and tedious where many complicated steps are involved.

The first step of printing is to put a screen on top of the substrate, wherein the substrate can be materials such as paper or cloth. The ink is then placed at the top of the screen, to fill the bar to fill the mesh opening with ink. After that, the operator will begin to lift the sails.

This is sure that the screen doesn’t have any contact with the substrate. The operator will then use the least amount of descending effort to draw the fill bar to the front of the screen. If you would like to know more about Screen Printing Process visit https://www.australianmerchco.com.au/ .

The squeegee is then used to move the mesh to the substrate and squeegee then be pushed to the back of the screen. Meanwhile, tension will pull the nets mesh away from the substrate, where the action will leave ink on the surface of the substrate.

The above is the general process of screen printing. However, there are actually different types of the screen printing process, the 'flat-bed', the 'cylinder', and the kind normally used, rotary '.

 The screen can be used many times, where it should be cleaned after each use. This requires the reclamation process. In this process, the ink is removed from the screen and also involves spraying stencil removers, which come in liquid, gel, or powder.

Another process called the ‘de-hazing' process will remove the haze of blurred images left on the screen.
