Comparison of two printing methods

Ink-jet printing is a non-contact, pressure-free, non-printing, copy-printing technology. It has the common features of digital printing without printing, enabling variable information printing. The screen printing plate is in the form of a mesh. During printing, the ink on the plate is printed on the plate through the hole portion of the plate under the pressure of the squeegee and printed on the substrate.

First, two kinds of printing methods

Inkjet printing

There are many kinds of inkjet printing methods. Its basic principle is to input the graphic and text information stored in the electronic computer into the flatbed printer first. Then, under the control of the electronic computer, the nozzle is sprayed onto the surface of the substrate by means of a special device. Drops of ink, directly imaged on the surface of the substrate based on the effect of charge, become the final print.

The basic principle of ink-jet printing is to generate small ink droplets and guide them to the set position. According to the different inkjet systems, it can be divided into continuous and on-demand two.

Continuous Ink Jet Printing (CIJ), whether patterned or non-printed, continuously generates ink droplets in a continuous flow pattern, then transfers the images by electric field deflection, and finally recovers or disperses non-printed ink droplets. . On-demand inkjet printing (DOD) produces ink droplets only in the printed portion. Specially used for printing excellent quality images, suitable for packaging color pictures, textiles and large-format billboards, is an ideal choice for full-color, high-precision printing. Print quality is its most important consideration.

Inkjet printing can be divided into black and white ink jet printing and color ink jet printing according to its printing color. Single ink for black and white ink jet printing, machine structure and ink system are relatively simple, and color ink jet printing is relatively complicated.

2. Screen printing

In modern screen printing technology, a screen printing plate is produced by means of photoengraving using a photosensitive material (the screen holes in the graphic portion of the screen plate are through holes, and the screen holes in the graphic portion are not blocked. ). During the printing, the squeegee presses the ink through the mesh part of the graphic part and transfers it to the printing material to form the same image as the original.

Screen printing consists of five major elements: screen printing plates, squeegee blades, inks, printing stations, and substrates. Screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, printing, plate making simple and low cost, strong adaptability. Screen printing a wide range of applications, there are many common printed materials, such as color paintings, posters, business cards, binding cover, product tags and dyeing textiles.

Second, the comparison of two printing methods

Inkjet printing is another new universal printing technology after screen printing. It has the same wide range of printing materials as screen printing. It can be printed on the surface of different shapes and materials, and it has strong adaptability. Nowadays, it is an extremely rapid technological development. The ever-expanding new printing method shows great development prospects. But as an old-fashioned printing method, screen printing has also shown its strengths in the development process, especially the unique advantages of screen printing in circuit board printing, and as more and more new technologies are screen printed. The application of screen printing has changed the appearance of screen printing and still occupy a large market.

1. Competing between two printing methods

First of all, it is the competition of application fields and product markets. Based on the advantages of the two printing methods, we can easily find that their competition in the printing market is becoming increasingly fierce. First of all, some large-format printing fields compiled by screen printing are being affected by inkjet printing. Today, the largest range of inkjet printers used in the field of large-format printing can reach a maximum width of 3 to 5 meters, producing large-format posters and publicity. The role of products and outdoor advertising has become increasingly prominent. Secondly, since inkjet printing has relatively small restrictions on substrates, printing can be performed on a variety of substrates. This is a killer for screen printing compared to other printing methods. Inkjet printing has this advantage and will undoubtedly be The application of web printing has an impact. Again, inkjet printing is all-digital printing, completely out of the cumbersome procedures of the traditional printing process, can minimize the time to market, for those time-demanding products, this printing method will be the best select.

In addition, the competition for printers. Inkjet printing has its unique market, such as lottery printing, personalized printing, etc., which is beyond the reach of screen printing. In spite of defending these fields, inkjet printing extends its application to the territory of screen printing, and its products gradually By the majority of printers of all ages. As mentioned above in the area of ​​large-format printing, with the prosperity of the market economy and the expansion of commodity circulation, the inkjet printing of outdoor advertising will show a significant increase. The full digitalization of inkjet printing, the ability to achieve personalized printing, and off-site printing, will inevitably attract more printers to adopt it. Therefore, it can be said that while competing in the product market, their competition is also inseparable from the competition for printers.

2. Complementary advantages between the two printing methods

With two methods, you can save production time and improve efficiency. Even though inkjet printers have the advantages of full digitalization, short job preparation time, and quick response to the market, it is not perfect after all. A big drawback of inkjet printing is that it is not suitable for large-volume printing, but only suitable for less than 1000. Zhang's printing, therefore, the technical advantages of silk screen printing in large-volume printing was revealed incisively and vividly. This method can be used when determining the individual printing of product packaging, that is, using inkjet printing to print in small batches, investing in the market, conducting research, and selecting popular designs based on the results of the investigation. Printing not only saves costs, but also reduces waste and time to market. The above-mentioned collocation is just a choice, and of course there are other better ways to use it.
