The liner includes generally vertical sidewalls disposed adjacent the inner periphery of the frame and an integral inwardly depending base that overlaps the margins of the screen stencil. An adhesive coating on the bottom surface of the liner base securely adheres the liner base to an emulsion layer covering the margins of the screen stencil. The base of the liner is otherwise open so that ink deposited in the well contacts the non-marginal region of the screen stencil, while the liner isolates the ink from the interface between the screen stencil and the inner periphery of the frame. | 06-26-2014 |
20140190361 | SCREEN PRINTING APPARATUS - A screen printing apparatus includes print executing parts, first and second substrate loading parts and a substrate unloading part, and first and second substrate support tables for supporting a substrate. The first substrate support table moves between a first receiving position where the substrate loaded from the first substrate loading part is received, and a sending position where the substrate is unloaded from the substrate unloading part. The second substrate support table moves between a second receiving position where the substrate loaded from the second substrate loading part is received, and the sending position. The print executing parts are respectively placed at positions on the substrate support tables where printing on the substrate is enabled. | 07-10-2014 |
20140261027 | SCREEN PRINTING SYSTEM WITH POSITIONAL ALIGNMENT - Screen printing system with positional alignment for aligning a substrate with a screen mask. The substrate and the screen mask have two registration holes for facilitating the positional alignment. The positional alignment method includes calculating alignment values for correcting the position of the substrate based on the determined offsets between the registration holes of the substrate and the screen mask. The position of the substrate is corrected based on the calculated alignment values so that registration holes of the substrate are vertically aligned with the registration holes of the screen mask. | 09-18-2014 |

20150107467 | Screen Printing Pallet Assembly and Method of Using Pallet Assembly in a Screen Printing Operation - A method of screen printing positionally synchronizes a plurality of pallet assemblies on a first screen printing machine with a plurality of pallet assemblies on a second screen printing machine. A screen printed garment having a properly aligned first image received from the first screen printing machine is transferred on a portion of one of the pallet assemblies on the first screen printing machine to one of the plurality of pallet assemblies on the second printing machine. The properly aligned first image on the garment is in proper positional alignment with a screen printing head on the second screen printing machine such that a second image complimentary to the first image is printed on the garment in proper position on the garment relative to the first image without user intervention to positionally locate the first image relative to the screen printing head on the second machine. | 04-23-2015 |
20150321464 | SCREEN PRINTING APPARATUS - In a screen printing apparatus, a squeegee is slid on a mask contacting a board to print paste onto the board via pattern holes formed in the mask. The screen printing apparatus includes: a box-like member including a top-plate portion in which first suction hole is formed and which is allowed to contact a lower surface of the board; a blower suction pipe which communicates with an internal space of the box-like member, and which extends outside the box-like member; a motor which sucks air through the blower suction pipe to generate a blower suction force in the first suction hole; and an inverter which changes a number of rotations of the motor. | 11-12-2015 |
20150321465 | SCREEN PRINTING APPARATUS - In a screen printing apparatus, a squeegee is slid on a mask contacting a board to print paste onto the board via pattern holes formed in the mask. The screen printing apparatus includes: a box-like member including a top-plate portion in which first suction hole and a second section hole are formed and which is allowed to contact the board; a blower suction pipe communicating with an internal space of the box-like member and extending outside the box-like member; a blower suction source sucking air through the blower suction pipe to generate a blower suction force in the first suction hole; a vacuum suction pipe connected to the second suction hole and extending through the internal space to an outside of the box-like member; and a vacuum pressure supplying device supplying a vacuum pressure to the second suction hole through the vacuum suction pipe. | 11-12-2015 |
20150360460 | TEXTILE PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A textile printing apparatus and method is disclosed. An example textile printing apparatus includes a first printing surface configured to support a first portion of a textile to be printed on. The example textile printing apparatus also includes a second printing surface configured to support a second portion of the textile in substantially a same printing plane as the first portion of the textile. The example textile printing apparatus also includes a slot formed adjacent the second printing surface. For a printing operation, a body of the textile is mounted over the first printing surface, and an inner portion of the textile is pulled through the slot and mounted, over the second printing surface. The printing operation proceeds in substantially the same printing plane onto both the outer printing surface and the inner printing surface without removing the textile during the printing operation. | 12-17-2015 |
20160039197 | Method and Apparatus for Preparing a Screen Printing Screen - A system or machine is disclosed which takes pre-stretched emulsion coated screens, digitally prints thereon and exposes them before further processing and use in a screen printing machine. | 02-11-2016 |
