<<	Screen Printing Modern printing technology with a long tradition Their historical origins of the screen-printing technology were in the East Asian region. In particular China and Japan, the template technique was used centuries ago for the printing of textile fabrics. The industrial use of screen printing occurred in 1900. Because of their versatility the press-through-technic always was developed and refined. Because the procedure is suitable for almost all materials (for example paper, cardboard, plastic, wood, glass, tin, metal), today there are numerous potential applications of screen printing.   Here´s how:        In the printing machine, the printable part is located directly under the printing plate, a porous mesh, streched on a metal frame.  The stencil will be put on the tissue applied typically by illumination.  The printed image is open, only here the screen is permeable. The  color is pressed through the screen by a rubber squeegee , now the  image is shown on the product. Once the screen is lifted, the product will be removed out of the printing device.
