Screen printing is a technique that uses mesh to transfer ink to a substrate. Print screens are prepared using stainless steel or high-tension, low-elongation polyester mesh. The desired image or pattern is created with light-reactive emulsion, capillary film, or a combination of both processes.
Depending on customer requirements, UV-curable, solvent-based, plastisol, and water-based inks and coatings are used. Special effect inks and surface finishes are used for visual and tactile enhancement of the finished product. Conductive and dielectric insulating inks are utilized in our membrane switch and printed electronic products.
Digital printing is a technique that transfers digital files to a substrate. We offer multiple options for digital printing, including swissQprint Impala 3, Acuity Advance HS Printer, and the Roland Sol-Jet XC-540. Most options can handle large-formatted projects but printed designs are typically restricted by the size of the substrate material.
Digital printing eliminates many of the steps of screen printing, including screen making, ink layering, curing, and drying. It is ideal for small to medium-sized orders of graphic overlays, gauges, signage, and other user interface products.
Our laser and die-cutting capabilities enable us to produce gaskets, ESD shields, and flame-retardant insulators to fit almost any application. Whether your application requires closed-cell foam, neoprene, copper, aluminum, polyester, or any variety of materials, we can fulfill your die-cutting needs. Our capabilities include:
