Influence of Substrate and Screen Thread Count on Reproduction of Image Elements in Screen Printing Authors

The printing plate and its characteristics in the conventional printing techniques have a significant impact on print quality and image appearance. In screen printing, a weave of screen mesh i.e. a number of threads per cm, is the most important characteristic of the printing plate, hence the most relevant factor which defines printing quality. Print quality itself is a complex term that includ...

Mistake Proofing Cam Mechanism Through Six-sigma Process: Case Study on Clothes Printing Machines

Controlling the occurrence of defects is a major challenge for manufacturing organizations that are seeking to enhance their competitive position in today’s global market. This paper considers the process of screen-printing T-shirts using hydraulic and pneumatic printing machines. Several defects in the output of this printing process have been observed, especially with multi colors printing as...

Recent Achievement in Flexible & Printed Electronics

Organic electronic devices fabricated by entirely wet processes using organic semiconductors, insulators, metal nanoparticles, etc., have been attracting much attention. In particular, by utilizing printing techniques on plastic substrates, flexible electronic devices of large area and low-cost will be attained. However, conventional printing techniques such as flexo printing, screen printing a...

Bioprinting in Vascularization Strategies

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has revolutionized tissue engineering field because of its excellent potential of accurately positioning cell-laden constructs. One of the main challenges in the formation of functional engineered tissues is the lack of an efficient and extensive network of microvessels to support cell viability. By printing vascular cells and appropriate biomaterials,...
