Ceramic Screen Printing Technology

Screen printing technology is not new for people who love crafts and painting. In modern screen printing process, firstly, we need to print the design or pattern on the screen printing ink-jet film. Then we paint the photo-sensitive emulsion on the screen printing screen to make a finished screen printing plate. Finally, use the screen printing squeegee and screen printing ink(pigment or oil) to transfer the delicate design on the textile, glass, ceramic, paper or any other substrate. For those design which are colorful or convex effect, it even need to make several screen printing plates and print repeatedly to get the perfect final result.

Screen printing technique has a wide usage in our daily life. No matter the clothes, shoes, hats, bags and suitcases or other materials for package and decoration, all can be its vehicle for their charisma. What’s more, this technology is also widespread used in popular art fields such as oil painting and printmaking. Surprisingly, in modern ceramic industrial production and individualized creation, the screen printing is also suitable for decoration for ceramic, especially for Complex patterns and color representations.

With its mature technology and wide application, screen printing has become one of the important processes for decorating porcelain plates. Through this technique, artists are able to create colorful and highly individual patterns and textures on porcelain plates, making each piece unique. Screen printing is an indispensable process in ceramic decoration, whereby colorful patterns are displayed on ceramics through the production of different screens and multi-color printing.

As an important process for the decoration of porcelain plates, it is likewise widely used in the production of porcelain panel paintings. It usually has two forms: one is transfer printing, that is, first through the screen in the paper (such as sulfuric acid paper, etc.) printed on the desired pattern, and then the paper attached to the blank, and then painted glaze for printing. This way is flexible and versatile, applicable in a variety of different shapes of the facade, concave and convex surface as well as the plane printed on the colorful patterns. Jingdezhen ceramic portrait of the production of this screen printing technology. Ceramic screen printing in porcelain panel painting contains two forms, transfer method and direct printing method, are flexible in different shapes and surfaces to create a unique pattern.

Another commonly used ceramic screen printing method is to print directly on clay, blanks or porcelain plates. This method is particularly suitable for flat blanks, easy to operate and effective. Ceramic decal paper through the screen printing technology to transfer the pattern to the porcelain blank, after high temperature firing to form a decorative layer.

Under the glaze at different temperatures of the decoration, of which the glaze decal paper is often used in daily-use ceramics due to bright colors, while the glaze decal paper is more wear-resistant, and is mostly used in architectural ceramics.

Ceramic screen printing technology is unique in its perfect combination of reproducibility and originality. Similar to printmaking, it can easily be reproduced n times while maintaining a high degree of originality. This technique is particularly suited to ceramic creators, whether to meet individual needs or to produce customized works by means of mass production.

Ceramic screen printing technology produces works that are not only highly original, but can be easily reproduced while maintaining artistic style. The unique charm of this technology, so that ceramic creators can easily meet the needs of personalization, while achieving mass production, for the production of customized works to provide strong support. Ceramic screen printing printing method is flexible, can simultaneously meet the originality and reproducibility, suitable for personalization and mass production, for the creation of efficient support.

As technology continues to advance, many advances have been made in screen printing technology. The new screen printing machine can better control the printing position and ink dosage, and realize higher printing efficiency and better printing quality. In addition, the rapid development of digital printing technology also provides new directions and methods for ceramic bottle printing.

With the development of science and technology, screen printing technology is also constantly innovating, such as digital screen printing and other new technology applications for ceramic art creation provides more possibilities.
