Is there a difference between a screen printing machine and a pad printing machine?

Silk printer

The glass has good perspective, light transmission performance, high chemical stability, and can obtain strong mechanical strength and thermal insulation effect according to different processing methods, so it can be used in various industries to meet different needs. Glass silk screen printing and pad printing are two commonly used printing patterns, and there are special printing tools suitable for mass production of deep-processed glass. Want to know what is the difference between the screen printing machine and the pad printing machine, and what is the principle of the pad printing machine, let's take a look.

1. Is there a difference between a screen printing machine and a pad printing machine?

First of all, we must figure out the principle between the two.

The simple silk screen printing is called stencil printing, which is to force the ink to leak from the mesh through the squeegee pressure. The screen and squeegee used.

Pad printing is to transfer the pattern engraved on the steel plate to the workpiece through the action of the rubber head, similar to the stamp. Use steel plate, plastic head.

In general, the silk screen ink layer is thicker than the pad printing, so the pattern with thin lines is easier to use for pad printing, and the pattern of large color blocks is easier to screen.

In the strict sense, the inks of the two are different. Because the ink layer is relatively thin, the ink needs high hiding power.

Second, what is the principle of the pad printing machine?

It is the consensus of the industry to develop printing machines in the direction of automation. This is the fundamental way to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, and it is also an inevitable requirement for the transfer of printing technology from labor-intensive industries to technology-intensive industries.

At present, the printing machine with high degree of automation is more common in the rotary printing machine. The printing process is completely automated. Due to the degree of automation, most enterprises are considering the quality problems in the printing process. There are still some imperfections in the countermeasures. Even such a pad printing machine has many challenges to complete the real automated printing.

Universal automatic pad printing machines are rare, but there are still many surprises for automatic pad printing machines for specific products. For example, automatic pad printing machines for printing CDs and automatic pad printing machines for printing bottle caps. Etc. The automation of the pad printing machine essentially means the automation of product delivery. As for the printing and printing part, the change is very small. Various new technical information has broadened our horizons, and the infiltration of other printing technologies has given us new inspiration. The customer's request will stimulate the passion of the printing machine manufacturer.

What is a pad printing machine?

A printing equipment suitable for plastics, toys, glass, metal, ceramics, electronics, IC seals, etc. Pad printing is an indirect concave plastic head printing technology, which has become a kind of surface printing and decoration for various objects. The main method.
