 Screen
Printing
Screen printing consists of three elements:
the screen which is the image carrier; the squeegee;
and ink. The
screen printing process uses a porous mesh stretched tightly
over a frame made of metal. Proper tension
is essential for accurate color registration. The
mesh is made of porous fabric or stainless steel mesh. A
stencil is produced on the screen wither manually or photochemically. The
stencil defines the image to be printed. In the other
printing technologies this would be referred to as an image
plate.
Screen printing ink is applied to the substrate by placing
the screen over the material. Ink with a paint-like
consistency is placed onto the top of the screen. Ink
is then forced through the fine mesh openings using a squeegee
that is drawn across the screen, applying pressure thereby
forcing the ink through the open areas of the screen. Ink
will pass through only in areas where no stencil is applied,
thus forming an image on the printing substrate. The
diameter of the threads and the thread count of the mesh
will determine how much ink is deposited onto the substrate.
 Digital
Printing
Data
Graphics now has the state-of-the-art HP Indigo S2000. Four
color process, spot colors, and variable date can be printed
on this machine. Quicker turn around than conventional
screen printing. This process can produce 4 color process
or spot color printing.
 Flexography
A printing method
using flexible plates where the image to be printed is
higher than the non-printing areas. The inked areas
then come in contact with the material to be printed,
transferring the ink from the raised areas to the material.
 Fabrication
Steel rule die cutting
is a common process used to cut a range of sheet materials
including polycarbonates, polyesters, vinyls and adhesives.
MetalPhoto Printing
Metalphoto® anodized
aluminum nameplates and panels combine unusual durability
with a long-lasting quality appearance. Metalphoto® nameplates
and panels function perfectly for years, maintaining
their original good looks under a broad variety of challenging
environments, including high temperatures, long term
outdoor exposure, abrasion, salt spray and most chemicals.
Metalphoto® gets its durability from
the fact its unique process imbeds the image within a sapphire
hard anodized layer.
Meets the most stringent mil-spec standards for long lasting
durable nameplates & panels. |
