2, thick ink layer, strong three-dimensional, rich texture

The ink layer thickness of offset printing and embossing is generally 5 micrometers, the gravure printing is about 12 micrometers, the thickness of the ink layer of the flexographic printing is 10 micrometers, and the ink layer thickness of the screen printing far exceeds the thickness of the above ink layer, generally Up to about 30 microns. The screen printing ink layer is thick, the printing quality sense is rich, the three-dimensional sense is strong, this is other the printing method cannot compare. At the same time, screen printing can not only print in a single color, but also perform color registration and screen printing.
