On the other side, \u00a0traditional printing methods, for example, screen printing is always an important part of the printing industry. At least for now, it\u2019s still necessary. So, what\u2019s the difference between\u00a0UV printing and screen printing\u00a0technology?\u00a0There are 3 main aspects.<\/p>\n<p>1.Cost<br \/>\nTraditional screen printing needs film plate-making,\u00a0print cost is more expensive. It needs\u00a0volume production to reduce cost. There\u2019s no way for printing short amount or single products.\u00a0And the dots of screen printing\u00a0can\u2019t be eliminated.<br \/>\nUV print no need such complicated plate-making process,\u00a0only need simple picture processing,\u00a0calculate all data then print directly with software. It could not only\u00a0print one piece of material but also make mass production.\u00a0With overall printing,\u00a0the cost is only $1-2 sqm\/h, which can extremely save time and cost.<\/p>\n<p>2.Printing process<br \/>\nScreen printing\u00a0is more complicated. Based on original design,\u00a0it needs to choose plate-making and working process according to different media.<br \/>\nHowever, the process of digital UV printing\u00a0is easier than screen printing.\u00a0It only needs\u00a0to put media on machine platform,\u00a0fix\u00a0position,\u00a0choose the image and edit it in software,\u00a0then\u00a0you can\u00a0start printing.\u00a0The most important is that the printing process of different materials is the same,\u00a0except for primer treatment for some special materials.<\/p>\n<p>3. Printing effect<br \/>\nThe color fastness by screen printing is not good. It is easy to be scratched off,\u00a0also none water-proof,\u00a0and need to air dry for some time.<br \/>\nUV printing has more colors. It has unique\u00a0matching\u00a0color management\u00a0which allows you\u00a0to print vivid color without making color modulation yourself. Besides, the finished products are water-proof,\u00a0anti-scratch,\u00a0wear resistance\u00a0(the degree is determined by the quality of UV printing ink used). Moreover,\u00a0the material is not restricted\u00a0if the print size and unevenness\u00a0is\u00a0under allowable range.<\/p>\n<p>We are a professional UV printing equipment manufacturer with over 10 years experience.
