What is the difference between screen printing and uv flatbed printer printing?

Screen printing is a traditional printing process, uv flatbed printer printing is an emerging printing process, the two are different in cost, process, environmental protection and printing results.

1, cost comparison

Traditional screen printing needs to film plate, the printing cost itself is more expensive, do a good job of screen printing points can not be eliminated, but also need to reduce the cost of mass production, can not reach the small batch or single product printing.

UV printing does not require so complex layout design, only a brief picture processing, do a good job of some of the parameters of the settings on the good, and this type of machine does not constrain the minimum number of points of view from some of the great savings in time and money.

2, process comparison

Screen printing process is more complex, based on the original manuscript, according to different printing materials to choose the plate and printing process, there are many specific types of processes, different printer materials have different processes, the overall operation is quite troublesome.

UV flatbed printing process is relatively simple much, only need to be printer material on the frame, fixed position, will choose a good high-definition picture in the software for simple layout positioning, you can start printing. For different materials overall printer mode consistent, only a small number of materials need to use the coating and varnish effect.

3, the printing effect comparison

Screen printing finished pattern of the firmness of the poor, easy to be scraped off, but also does not have waterproof. Printed need to air dry for a period of time to completely dry solid.

UV flatbed printing color is more comprehensive, the unique color management system does not need to adjust their own color, the printing effect of bright colors, the finished product also has a waterproof, scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and many other advantages, the most important point, not subject to the material limitations, as long as the printing format size and concavity and convexity in the printer allows the scope of the print can be printed.

4, environmentally friendly comparison

Silk screen printing is attributed to the traditional printing process, the production environment, the external environment of the damage is relatively large, the ink smell is more unpleasant and does not have environmental protection.

UV flatbed printing processing selection of new UV ink, green, environmental protection, the operator, environmental damage is extremely low.
