Section outline
-
- In this section, the development of industrial printing technology, with both flat and rotary screens, will be presented, at the most important points. The course of mechanization and automation of industrial textile printing and the importance of the entry of information technologies in the field of textile printing will be explained. The importance of CAD/CAM system in industrial textile printing will also be explained, which from the beginning enabled computerization of individual phases of printing, such as computer separation of pattern colours, to the later possibilities of full automation and computer control of complete printing process from preparation phase to the final product.
- Also, the importance of ICT technology and its implementation in the development of industrial setting of textile printing, will be presented for each type of industrial printing technology, except for special styles that will be discussed in a separate chapter.
In this Topic, following chapters are included:
- FLAT screen printing
- ROTARY screen printing
- Basic TOOLS in txtile printing
- CAD/CAM introduction to textile printing technology
-
- HAND Printing
Watch the mastery of Kudhinda hand printers!
Kudhinda Fabrics specialises in hand-block and screen printed textiles, traditionally patterned in the rich colours of Africa. All of the products are produced by highly skilled team in Harare.
The BECKFORD Hand SILK Printing
An example of the use of hand screen printing in the production of unique silk products that are both accessories and art objects.- MACHINE Printing
The video shows the operation of an automated printing machine with flat screens. The principle of movable endless belt that moves the textile material, while the flat screens are stationary in the carriers with automation of moving up/down.
Semi-automatic FLAT BED Printing with MAGNETIC SQUEEGEE
A semi-automatic printing machine involves automation of certain functions of the machine, such as automatization of textiles/screen/squeegee moving and interact, while other features are still mechanically or manually guided (such as printing paste dosing). In this presentation, pay attention to the dynamism of the magnetic squeegee.
Fully Automated FLAT BED Printing Machine
In fully automated flat bed printing machine all features are automatized and digitally controlled.
ROTARY Screen Printing
A completely continuous printing process was established only with the introduction of rotary printing. In rotary printing, rotary stencils and textile material are run at the same time, with all effects, ie all colors being printed at the same time. The videos show the dynamism of automated rotary printing machines.
