The working principle of sérigraphie machine is similar to that of hand screen printing, and screens are also required. The workflow is, screen positioning → lowering the screen → squeegee ink → raising the screen.
La différence avec la sérigraphie à la main est
1, la raclette automatique de la machine remplace la raclette à main.
2, Unlike hand screen printing, which needs to move the screen every time it is printed, the screen of sérigraphie machine is fixed on the machine. Every time printing is completed, the fabric will move forward with the guide belt for a fixed distance.
3, la sérigraphie à la main doit changer un autre écran chaque fois qu’un lot d’impression de tissus est terminé, puis répéter l’impression. La sérigraphie à la machine est un formage unique, chaque écran est placé sur le tissu à une distance fixe, et tous les écrans sont abaissés en même temps, et la couleur correspondante est grattée sur le tissu. Une fois que le tissu a traversé tous les écrans, l’impression est terminée.
The advantage is that sérigraphie machine is a semi-automatic printing method, production efficiency is much higher than manual screen printing, and the price is much lower than hand screen printing, which is one of the cheapest printing methods.
The disadvantage is that sérigraphie machine is not as accurate as manual screen printing, there may be small deviations between different colors, and the fineness of the pattern is poorer than that of hand screen printing. It is not suitable for designs with many colors or fine details. The minimum order quantity is relatively high. It also costs about 100 US dollars for each time of sample printing. Machine screen printing is currently mainly used in low-end fabrics.
