Computers have found their way into every aspect of this modern world including screen printing with automatic mug printing machine options. Screen printing machine manufacturers embrace computerized control with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), bringing digital technology to the screen printing industry. PLCs operate from microprocessors similar to those that power computers, replacing analog machine controls with digital user interfaces to set screen printing parameters and programmed for user friendly operation.
The introduction of computers and automatic programs provide many benefits to all screen printing machines and processes including automatic mug printing machine applications. Some advantages of utilizing digital technology in automatic screen printers include:
- Set and edit printing parameters – automatic screen printing controls provide flexibility when entering or editing screen printing parameters as well as offering precise variables to match your print area. This is especially ideal for multi-color printing and other precision printing applications.
- Repeatable press set up – once you have the optimum printing parameters, it is easy to save that program for future use. Control systems provide quick and easy printing press set up for consistency and repeatability which promotes quality processes and improves product quality. Programming is done in house. Inquire within for this option.
- Optical recognition – provides an easy method to outfit your printing press with a camera for instant optical recognition of products. Optical inspection is useful for quality control and press set up processes. A high-resolution camera can be programmed to recognize products that require precise prints. Optical functions can drive adjustments to screen registration for multi-color jobs or jobs which experience inconsistent or problematic operation for accurate troubleshooting.
- Automation on and off the press – not only do computerized digital controls enhance the printing process, computers are used to create digital files such as in Photoshop or popular Adobe programs. When used in conjunction with optical recognition, these digital renditions add great value to automating the printing process on and off the press.
