Rotary screen printing is a widely used technique in the textile industry for applying designs and patterns to fabric. This method utilizes cylindrical screens that rotate as the fabric passes through, allowing for continuous printing on long lengths of material. The screens are typically made from stainless steel or synthetic materials, which are durable and capable of producing high-quality prints. The ink is pushed through the screens onto the fabric, resulting in vibrant and detailed designs.
| Screen material | Stainless steel or synthetic mesh |
| Ink types | Water-based, plastisol, or discharge inks |
| Print width | Up to 180 cm (70 inches) |
| Production speed | Up to 100 meters per minute |
| Design complexity | Suitable for intricate patterns and large-scale designs |
When selecting rotary screen printing services, consider the type of fabric and the ink compatibility for your project. Specify the design complexity, as this will affect the screen preparation and production time. Additionally, inquire about the minimum order quantities and lead times. Certifications related to environmental standards or specific industry requirements may also be relevant, depending on your target market.
