Industrial Screen Printing at boer&vanwijk Color-Accurate, Scratch-Resistant, and Built to Withstand Extreme Conditions.

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a screen frame with a stretched polyester mesh. Various mesh types are available in different densities, which determine the amount of ink deposited on the product. For each print color, a separate screen frame is used. Before printing begins, the screen is made light-sensitive. Then, the screen film is applied to the mesh and exposed to light. The film blocks the light in certain areas, preventing those parts of the mesh from hardening.

This process creates a print pattern, also known as a stencil. Once the screen is prepared, it is placed in the printing machine. Ink is then spread across the screen, and the product to be printed is positioned on the machine.

Using a rubber squeegee, the machine presses the ink through the mesh onto the product. Drying takes place either naturally or with the help of a UV lamp.

When you think of screen printing, you often think of printing on textiles. That’s something we don’t do at Boer & Van Wijk. Textiles create a lot of dust, which is not desirable in our company because we print many high-quality products that must remain dust-free.

For special materials, we first make a test print to assess adhesion and scratch resistance. We do this free of charge.
