The screen is
fitted to a hinged tool so that it can be raised and lowered. The item to be
printed is placed in position under the screen and ink is placed on the top
side of the screen. A rubber blade called a squeegee is pulled across the
top of the screen which pushes the ink through the mesh onto the surface of
the item being printed.
To repeat the
process the squeegee floods the screen again with a return stroke, and the
screen is raised to allow the printed component to be removed and the next
blank component placed in position ready for printing. The cycle then
repeats. |
