How to Guide to choosing the right screen product
Synopsis...
This simple How to Guide has been developed to help you select the most appropiate screen making products to help you optimise your first surface screen printing process.
• Screens that are quick and easy to use
• Good print reproduction and minimal static generation
• Stencils that have no surface tack and have good durability - zero colour bleed
• Stencils that are easy to de-coat or suitable for archiving for repeat jobs
Recommendations:
We have specifically formulated a range of screen making products to work harmoniously with our industrial range of first surface printable lacquers, Fototex, Windotex and Print and Peel. The colour coded tables below will help guide you to select the most appropiate products for each screen making stage.
Which Degreaser?
A well degreased screen is critical for long print runs. A few minutes spent preparing the screen will dramatically improve the durability of that screen and prevent costly remakes.
Which Stencil?
The stencil is the heart of the process and a good quality stencil can literally make the difference between a profit and a loss. Select the best stencil for your application based on the inks you are using and the type of printing you do.
Which Solvents?
No two printers are identical and so we manufacture a wide range of screen cleaning solvents to meet your needs. Selecting the right solvent will help speed up your screen cleaning whilst making sure you are in full compliance with legislation.
Which Stencil Stripper?
Remove Capillex films and PLUS emulsion stencils quickly and easily with one of our Autostrip products. Choose from a powder, gel or concentrate to meet your needs.
Which Haze Remover?
A good haze remover is an essential tool for reusing screens many times and there are not many stains that cannot be removed with one of the Autotype Haze Removers.
