What is the Difference Between Flat Printing and Cylindrical Printing?
Flat printing means the substrate's printing surface is flat. Cylindrical printing means the substrate's printing surface is round. The rest of the substrate can have any shape to it.
When screen printing a flat surface, the screen is stationary above the printing surface about 1/16” (off contact). The squeegee presses the screen down to the product, then slides across the image on the screen and presses the ink through the image and onto the product.
When screen printing a cylindrical substrate, the screen is positioned approximately 1/16” above (off contact) the printing surface. The squeegee stays stationary and presses the screen down to the product, then the screen moves while the product spins at the same speed using the squeegee to press the ink through the image on the screen and onto the product.
Is My Screen Printing Machine Limited to Printing Only One Type of Product?
The modular design of Systematic Automation printers gives you the freedom to print a variety of products. For instance, printing flat to cylindrical can be done in less than a minute with the Model F1 — changing between pieces of cylindrical tooling only takes seconds.
