The Printing Process of screen printing silicone stone pulling effect
- Mesh&Squeegee: 100-120(40-48T) Mesh number ;65-75 degree Squeegee. Glue printing thickness: 0.1mm–0.3mm
- Positioning and based layer printing: Fix the fabric to the working table. Transparent printing 6 times for based coating; this is a crucial step to enhance adhesion.
- Color printing: Color printing 3 layers, wait the surface dry before each next time color printing.
- The key points of silicone stone pulling effect
Printing: Screen print the thicker silicone paste onto the fabric.
Lift the screen mesh and retain the paste: Gently lift the screen, utilizing the tension of the mesh to draw up portions of the paste, thereby creating an irregular, textured surface.
Controlling viscosity: High viscosity of silicone is key to achieving a stringy effect. If the effect is not obvious, the viscosity of the silicone can be increased appropriately. - After all the printing is finished, to heat by 100℃- 120℃ for about 10 minutes.
