  "Polyester and stainless-steel screens are available, and polyester screens are commonly used.Range of 70-mesh to 420-mesh can be select according to the fineness of printing image 200-mesh to 300-mesh are used for general printing."
  ※Mesh is the number of fibers per inch.

  Printing image should be located at inner area of stencil size 40% or less. please decide stencil frame size under this criteria. Small printing area against frame size produces better size stability.
  ※idea is under 20%

  "Beautiful printing can be performed by securing a clearance of 1 mm to 3 mm between each substrate and printing plate without bringing them into contact during printing.Dimensional stability deteriorates if the clearance is too large. To secure the clearance, the WHT printing table and bridge holder are necessery."

  "Substrate might stick to stencil due to ink viscosity, and cause blurring after printing. Vacuum motor suctioning is used to fix each substrate on the printing table.Our WHT printing table and HPT printing table are equipped with the vacuum pump device."

  "Squeegee blades are commonly made with urethane. Printed results vary depending on the blade hardness. Soft blades result in thick coating with large amount of ink, and hard blades result in sharp printing with a small amount of ink coming out. As a guide, squeegees are color-coded by respective hardness: green (soft (65°)), blue (medium-hard (73°)), and yellow (hard (83°)).Select the squeegee length 5 cm to 10 cm longer than the width of the print image.If it is too short, printing pressure is released at the edges, and if it is too long, the stencil is stressed, image may distorted."
