Manual screen printing involves a wide range of different substrates, and different substrates have different choices for printing. According to the printing of common substrates, several methods for preparing printing materials are introduced.


First, the performance and preparation of plastic printing materials


(1) Drug performance

1. Polyvinyl chloride: powdered resin

The main raw material of the plastic formula is fast and easy to swell, easy to form a gel, and is dull. It needs to be heated when dissolved in cyclohexanone.


2, polyvinyl chloride: paste resin

Imported goods, the transparency is better than the powder, can be dissolved in cyclohexanone without heating, the function is the same as the powdery resin.


3, perchloroethylene: flocculent resin

The main raw material of plastics is slower than PVC, and it is sticky and shiny. However, it is more viscous than polyvinyl chloride resin after drying. It should not be added in the formula, otherwise it will stick after drying.


4, perchloroethylene varnish

The varnish is used as a mixed varnish in varnish water. Compared with lacquer, it is fast drying, and it can both stabilize and dry in the paint.


5, cyclohexanone

Solvent, used to dissolve polyvinyl chloride resin and perchloroethylene resin, is highly corrosive and slow to dry. If the amount of poly(per)vinyl chloride resin is too large to be dissolved, it is best to stop using it and switch to butyl acetate or xylene.


6, butyl (ethyl acetate) ester

The solvent is diluted in the formulation, the ethyl ester is dried faster than the butyl ester, and both are glossy. Generally, butyl ester is commonly used in the formulation.


7, xylene

Solvent, dilution, corrosive and volatile, high dryness, more in the seasoning can accelerate drying, but can not be used when blending gold or silver.


8, dibutyl phthalate

Solvent, plasticizing in the formulation, slow drying, not suitable for use in the ingredients.


9, nitrobenzene

Solvent, flammable and toxic, low volatility, can play a slow-drying effect, add a small amount of good plastic raw materials, can prevent sealing when printing, and seal can be used for copying.


10, various colors of printing (pulp) materials

The powder is heavy and the water is also large. It is not easy to put more when adjusting the plastic printing material, and it is easy to agglomerate when printed.


(2) Printing material preparation

Formula

PVC tree refers to 100 grams

Cyclohexanone 500g

Xylene 500g

Dibutyl phthalate 100g

Operation

Pour the order of the medicine into the seasoning vessel, and pour it into a medicine with a glass rod or a stick to stir it completely.

When adjusting the ingredients, the seasoning utensils should be placed in the hot water to warm up and promote the dissolution of the medicine.

Note: The adjusted polyvinyl chloride pulp is transparent, and it is easy to form a jelly in cold weather. When used together with other ingredients in winter, it needs to be heated to dissolve it.


2. Preparation of perchlorovinyl chloride

Formula

Perchloroethylene resin 500g

Cyclohexanone 500g

Dimethyl stupid 500g

Butyl acetate 500g

After filtering with a sieve of about 100 mesh, it is placed in a porcelain jar and stored and covered with a little cyclohexanone on the surface to prevent drying.


4, gold (silver) color material preparation

Formula

Polyvinyl chloride pulp 120g

Perchlorovinyl chloride 80g

Gold (silver) powder (800 mesh or more) 100 g

Operation

The gold (silver) powder needs to be soaked with cyclohexanone for a period of time before preparation.

The medicine is poured onto the glass plate in sequence and blended with an inkjet.

Gold (silver) materials can be used as needed, so it should not be stored for too long, so as to avoid the long-term gloss and darkening, which will affect the effect after printing.

Gold (silver) material is thick or dry too fast, can be diluted with cyclohexanone, but can not add xylene, otherwise it will easily cause gold loss.


5, dark material preparation

Formula

Perchlorovinyl chloride 30g

Polyvinyl chloride pulp 70g

The prepared cotton textile printing material is suitable for the printing of various kinds of substrates such as cloth, vest and shirt.

Manual screen printing method

When hand-screen printing, hold the scraper and apply a slight pressure on the screen surface to press the printing material into the mesh of the ink-printing part of the printing plate, and squeeze it onto the substrate so that the substrate reproduces the same graphic as the original. 


If you want a perfect screen printing, you must understand the entire process of manual screen printing. The basic steps of the screen printing process for substrates of different materials and shapes are the same, but the printing and printing adjustments used are slightly different. Now we will focus on their commonalities.
