What Is Screen Printing Ink?
Screen printing ink is a specialized type of ink formulated for use in the screen printing process. Screen printing is a technique for transferring ink onto both flat and curved surfaces. This process involves using a mesh-covered frame to selectively transfer ink onto the material being printed. By designing the mesh to allow ink through in some areas and block it in others, specific patterns and designs can be precisely printed.
This ink is notable for its versatility, being suitable for a wide range of materials including paper, plastic film, and metal. It is also characterized by its high durability and capacity to produce vivid, rich colors. These attributes make screen printing ink highly sought after for various applications such as creating signs, labels, packaging, and other printed materials.
