About This Product

It is possible to print on films such as metal, resin, Lexan, and PET.

■FeaturesIn silkscreen printing, the design is printed on the object by pouring ink through fine holes in a mesh called a printing plate and rubbing it with a stick called a squeegee. The principle is similar to that of printmaking, which I used to do during art class in elementary school. The objects can be printed on metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and iron, resins such as acrylic, polycarbonate, and PVC, and films such as Lexan and PET. Although the type of ink must be changed, this manufacturing method allows printing on most objects and the most common materials. It is the most flexible printing method as it is possible to mix various colors by mixing the ink, and it is also possible to layer colors. Ink manufacturers are also making efforts, so weather resistance is also higher than in the past.

The advantages include being able to print on finished products and on somewhat curved surfaces. The disadvantages are that the initial cost is quite high (starting at 8,000 yen) because it requires a film plate and a printing plate, and because the ink is dropped through small holes called a mesh, the text appears jagged when enlarged. Another problem is that if you cut or press the silk-printed part, the paint will crack (offset printing will not). Also, since it is not engraved, the ink will come off with remover or thinner. (In the case of carvings, they can be identified even if the color fades.) It is a very common manufacturing method and is used all around us. In terms of quantity, this manufacturing method is suitable for medium quantity (50~) to mass production. As for the delivery time, if you have a version, it can be done right away, so it is suitable for short delivery times.
