There are four main differences between UV flatbed printers and screen printing:

1. Cost comparison

Traditional screen printing requires film plate making and self-printing The cost is more expensive, and mass production is required to reduce costs, and it is unable to print small batches or individual products.

UV flatbed printers do not require complicated processing, and can be printed directly with pattern input software. One print, multiple prints, the cost will not increase, and it can be customized.

2. Process comparison

The screen printing process is relatively complex. It is based on the original manuscript and selects plate making and printing processes according to different printing materials. There are many specific types of processes, and different There are different processes for printing materials, and the overall operation is quite troublesome.

The process of UV flatbed printer is relatively simple. You only need to place the material to be printed on the frame, fix the position, and simply layout and position the selected high-definition pictures in the software. Start printing. The overall printer mode for different materials is the same, but a small number of materials require coating and varnish effects.

3. Comparison of printing effects

The finished screen printing pattern is not strong enough, is easily scratched off, and is not waterproof. After printing, it needs to be air-dried for a period of time to completely dry. The patterns printed by UV flatbed printers are relatively waterproof and scratch-resistant.

4. Comparison of environmentally friendly types

Silk screen printing is a traditional printing process, which is relatively harmful to the production environment and the external environment. It produces unpleasant smells, discharges waste ink, and causes serious pollution. of. The uv flatbed printer uses a new type of uv ink, which is green and environmentally friendly and has extremely low harm to the operator and the environment.
