How to Select an HYBRID Digital Automatic Screen Printing Machine for Small, Medium and Large Printing & Garment Factories?
Printing subcontractors and garment manufacturers of different sizes vary in order types, capacity requirements and budgets. You may select the suitable Bihong oval screen printing machine according to your actual needs.
Small factories Focus on small-batch, multi-style and quick-turn orders. Choose models with fewer stations, smaller footprint and easy setup. Fast screen change and simple operation support sampling and small-batch production for T-shirts and hoodies, lowering your upfront investment.
Medium factories Handle medium-volume orders with multiple colors, balancing sampling and mass production. Mid-station auto screen printing machine models deliver both productivity and flexibility. They support multi-color overprinting and special-effect processes such as puff, high-build and silicone printing to meet diversified customer requirements.
Large factories Mainly take large-volume standardized garment orders with high output and continuous stable production. High-speed multi-station oval machines are your choice. Capable of long-hour nonstop production and compatible with various complex special processes, ideal for mass production of brand apparel, work wear and sportswear to maximize factory throughput.
Summary: No matter the scale of your factory, we can recommend the most suitable oval screen printing solution based on your fabric types, printing processes, daily output target, workshop space and budget.
Pigment Printing Process Flow
The overall pigment printing flow is:
fabric inspection and pre-shrink → screen preparation (exposure/registration) → paste mixing → printing (underbase/main print/color layers) → intermediate drying → final curing → cooling → inspection and packing.
|
Step |
Key Action |
Key Point |
|
1 Fabric preparation |
Check shade, soiling, tension; pre-shrink if needed |
Flat, stable moisture; avoid skew and wrinkles |
|
2 Screen preparation |
Exposure, wash-out, check mesh count/tension/blockage |
Consistent mesh count and tension; clear pattern, no pinholes |
|
3 Paste mixing |
Weigh paste, color and auxiliaries per recipe and mix well |
Accurate color, viscosity and additive ratio; deaerate |
|
4 Printing |
Register, set squeegee parameters, trial print, first-piece approval |
Accurate registration, even paste, no see-through or bleeding |
|
5 Intermediate drying |
IR/hot air, surface dry |
Layer-by-layer drying in multi-layer printing to avoid sticking |
|
6 Final curing |
Tunnel dryer curing |
Temperature and time meet requirements; film cross-links to adequate fastness |
|
7 Cooling & inspection |
Cool, then inspect and grade |
Check adhesion, wash fastness, color fastness by sampling |
|
8 Packing |
Prevent stacking adhesion |
Interleave release paper or stack hanging |
1 Process Parameters (Key Control Points)
The following are industry-recommended typical values and must be confirmed by trial printing according to actual fabric, paste and equipment. Tables give typical values and adjustable ranges.
Table 5-1 Key Pigment Printing Process Parameters
2 Mesh and Squeegee Parameters
|
Parameter |
Typical Value |
Adjustable Range |
Note |
|
Mesh count |
60–80 mesh |
40–120 mesh |
Low mesh (more paste) for large color blocks; high mesh for fine patterns |
|
Mesh tension |
20–25 N/cm |
18–28 N/cm |
Low tension causes bleeding and difficult registration |
|
Emulsion / stencil |
Solvent-resistant type |
- |
Compatible with pigment paste and solvent washing |
|
Squeegee hardness |
65 Shore A |
55–75 |
Softer for thick printing, harder for fine work |
|
Squeegee angle |
50° |
45°–60° |
Smaller angle carries more paste |
|
Squeegee pressure |
3 kgf |
2–5 kgf |
Too low causes see-through; too high tears the screen |
|
Print passes |
1 pass |
1–2 passes |
One pass for single solid layer; multiple for thick print |
|
Print speed |
8–15 m/min (or per machine) |
Adjustable |
Too fast under-carries paste; too slow may bleed |
3 Number of Print Layers and Passes
|
Process |
Layers |
Note |
|
White underbase on dark fabric |
1 layer (2 for heavy underbase) |
Underbase improves color develop and prevents see-through |
|
Main color print |
1–2 layers |
Generally 1 layer; add 1 more if color strength insufficient |
|
Thick / 3D effect |
3–6 layers |
Intermediate dry each layer to avoid collapse/flattening |
|
Color layering |
1 layer per color |
Multi-color printed station by station; note intermediate drying |
4 Drying and Curing Parameters
|
Stage |
Temperature |
Time |
Note |
|
Intermediate drying |
100–130°C |
20–40 s |
Surface dry is enough; avoid bubbling; for multi-layer printing |
|
Final curing |
150–165°C |
60–90 s (or per paste spec) |
Ensure full resin cross-linking and adequate fastness |
|
Special pastes |
Per paste TDS |
Per TDS |
Foam/pearl and other effects follow manufacturer's recommendation |
Note: Final curing temperature and time must meet the paste manufacturer's requirement (typically above 150°C for several seconds to tens of seconds); otherwise the film does not fully cross-link and wash fastness / adhesion fails. However, overheating can cause yellowing, fabric stiffening or damage.
5 Machine Setting Quick Reference
|
Machine Parameter |
Recommended Setting |
Adjustment Points |
|
Off-contact (snap-off) |
2–4 mm |
Too small causes drag/smearing or sticking; too large gives blurred edges |
|
Flood / flood bar |
Uniform coverage over pattern |
Ensures consistent paste carry each print |
|
Color registration |
Align first-piece before batch run |
Check registration station by station for multi-color |
|
Machine speed |
Match drying so layers fully dry |
Too fast causes sticking in later stations |
|
Cooling |
Fully cool after dryer |
Prevents stacking adhesion |
