Abstract

Screen Printing is a traditional and versatile process of transferring ink. A thick layer
of ink can be deposited by this process which makes it ideal to print on broad range
of substrates (both on porous & non porous). The purpose of this analysis is to focus
on the quality of print on four different types of substrates: Paper, Plastics, Textile
and Ceramic based on screen printing process. The work has been done using three
different screen mesh of screen ruling 60, 120, 180 l/cm and two different squeegees of shore hardness: 60 shore A° & 90 shore A° to find out the factors influence the quality and probable solutions to achieve sharp and fine output with less amount of wastage.
