スクリーン印刷とは?

Screen printing is a technique that has been used for centuries to create beautifully printed image artwork on a wide variety of surfaces. Today, screen printing is used in more applications than ever, ranging from creating artwork and signage to advanced printed electronics. Thanks to its versatility and durability, screen printing is a technique that will continue to have a lot to offer for a wide range of evolving uses.

An Overview of The Screen Printing Process
At its core, screen printing involves creating a stencil of the desired image on a screen, and then using that screen to transfer the image onto a substrate. In this additive process, stencils are used to transfer inks or other materials onto the substrate. The “stencil” is essentially a screen that allows the ink to pass through onto the substrate below. Screen printing is a versatile process that can be used for a wide range of substrates, including flexible materials.

Although screen printing is most commonly associated with printing photographic images, a similar process is used to create printed electronics. In this type of manufacturing, advanced mesh screens and conductive inks are used to create functional electronics on a wide range of flexible substrates.

One advantage of screen printing is that it can be used to print very thin and precise patterns on a diverse range of substrates. かつ, screen printing can be used to create multilayer prints with high accuracy and repeatability. This makes screen printing an excellent choice for printed electronics applications.
