Screen Printing Applications for KGS Metallized Fabrics

Owing to their specific properties, KGS metallized fabrics are mainly used in the following cases:

• Use of thermoplastic and/or abrasive ink
• Stringent requirements as to print precision
• High demand as to service life and ease of cleaning
• All printing jobs affected by electrostatics

The applications below here all include one or more of the above mentioned requirements.

 
Printing of glass (including automotive), ceramics or china ware:

What are the benefits of KGS metallized fabrics ?
• High flexibility compared to stainless steel
• Hence increased life time of the screens
• Also KGS metallized fabrics can be heated electrically (thermoplastic inks)
• Good lift-off from the glass

Printed Circuit Boards and Other Industrial Printing Tasks:
What are the benefits of KGS metallized fabrics?
• Precision of register close to a stainless steel screen
• Much less delicate than stainless steel, therefore..
• Easier handling
• No electrostatic charges
