Compared with UV digital printers,Screen printing is increasingly going digital with faster speed, quality and efficiency and has created a strong development position in industrial printing. But inkjet printing on UV digital printers, as a new technology, is a new printing technology that can really threaten the dominance of screen printing in industrial processes.
The UV digital printing machine has gradually replaced the screen printing work, and its printing speed and mass production advantages have also become another shining point, which has begun to be accepted by more and more customers. However, screen printing does also have a place in the commercial printing market. Screen printing is still viable for long runs or printing specific spot colors. Let's compare the advantages of screen printing and UV digital printer.
Advantages of screen printing
Screen printing is arguably the most versatile of all printing processes, and it can be used to print on a variety of substrates, including paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, fabric, and many others. It is not difficult to see from some common products in the screen printing industry including posters, labels, stickers, signs and various textiles and electronic circuit boards that the advantage of the screen printing process is that it can be printed on materials of any shape, thickness and size, And another major advantage is that it is one of the cheapest printing methods in mass production, besides its durability and non-fading printing.
Advantages of large format UV digital printing presses
When we compare the advantages of UV digital printers, they are more environmentally friendly than screen printing, but one of the biggest advantages that cannot be ignored is that they can print directly on various hard media. Direct printing reduces waste, simplifies the printing process, and greatly improves the opportunity for recycling of printing costs. Foreign companies have reported that the large-format UV digital printing machine in the printing market last year was the least in the wide-format digital printing industry, but it was also the most dynamic and fastest-growing new technology. Since the curing of UV ink only requires ultraviolet light or light, this also enables the printing speed of UV digital printers to be improved.
UV digital printing presses are recognized by many customers by reducing the number of man-hours and operators, while reducing the cost of ink and printed objects. This is also considered to be one of the most important advantages. Printing directly on many materials is also a sublimation of printing technology.
It is impossible to know how soon screen printing will become obsolete. In my country, UV digital printers have replaced screen printing in many industrial applications. Therefore, we can conclude that the new printing trend of UV digital printing presses has begun, and which printing technology should be selected needs to be personally inspected by customers to see which method is more suitable for your business needs.
