- Extra Green Plastisol Ink (eco-friendly)
- Extra Black Plastisol Ink (high opacity)
- Чорнило Puff Plastisol Ink (3D texture)
B. Water-Based Inks
- Soft feel, eco-friendly.
- Lower VOC emissions, great for detailed designs.
C. UV-Curable Inks
- Fast-drying, works on rigid substrates (glass, metal).
- Energy-efficient with LED curing.
D. Special Effects Inks
- Металеве покриття: Shimmering results.
- Glow-in-the-Dark: Perfect for novelty items.
- Сублімаційні чорнила: Vibrant, dye-based prints.
Quick Comparison Table
| Тип чорнила | Найкраще для | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| пластизол | Apparel, durability | High opacity, long-lasting |
| На водній основі | Екологічні проекти | Soft hand feel |
| UV-Curable | Hard surfaces | Instant curing |
| Puff/High-Density | Textured designs | 3D effect |
2. Screen Printing Techniques
Master these methods for flawless prints:
A. Setup
- Вибір кількості сіток: Higher for fine details (~230 mesh), lower for bold prints (~110 mesh).
- Screen Emulsion: Використання Емульсії Saati або Засоби для видалення емульсії Ulano for clean screens.
B. Printing Process
- Тиск ракеля: Adjust for even ink deposit.
- Блискуче затвердіння: Partially dry layers before adding colors.
- Точність реєстрації: Align multi-color designs precisely.
C. Troubleshooting
- Clogged Screens? використання Відновлення екрана техніки.
- Ink Not Sticking? Apply Клеї для пластин або Лікування плазмою.
3. Sustainability in Screen Printing
Eco-friendly practices are revolutionizing the industry:
- Water-Based & Low-VOC Inks: Reduce harmful emissions.
- LED УФ-затвердіння: 50% less energy than traditional systems.
- Зменшення відходів: CTS systems cut ink waste by 50%.
Did You Know?
- 42% of printers now use water-based inks (2022 data).
- UV inks cure 3x faster than plastisol (2-5 sec vs. 60-90 sec).
4. Screen Printing vs. DTG: Which to Choose?
| Фактор | Трафаретний друк | Безпосередньо до одягу (DTG) |
|---|---|---|
| Найкраще для | Bulk orders, special effects | Small batches, photo prints |
| Ефективність витрат | Lower per unit at scale | Higher for small runs |
| Ink Options | Plastisol, puff, metallic | Water-based CMYK |
Hybrid Tip: Combine both for cost-effective, high-quality mixed runs.
5. Future Trends
- Розумні чорнила: Thermochromic (heat-sensitive) and photochromic (light-reactive).
- Automation: M&R Challenger III presses boost speed.
- Провідні чорнила: For wearable tech and IoT devices.
