Product Description
Stainless steel printing screen is also commonly referred to as an ultra-fine screen. It is a special screen used in the printing industry. It adopts plain weave. As a consumable, it is widely used in the field of screen printing. Corresponding to the stainless steel screen printing technology, in short, the stainless steel screen is tightly stretched on the screen frame, and the screen is made by hand-carved film or photo-chemical plate-making. The ink can only penetrate the graphic part of the screen.
The Material of Stainless Steel Printing Screen
Common materials are 304, 304L, 316L, 304N, 304HP, etc.
304: General-purpose stainless steel, suitable for lower mesh counts with better strength.
316 & 316L: Suitable for higher mesh numbers, strong plasticity, and good braiding effect.
304N: Contains nitrogen to improve strength, suitable for higher tension production.
Features of the Stainless Steel Printing Screen
◈High Tension: Much higher tension than common polyester mesh.
◈Super Precision: Uniform wire diameter and aperture.
◈Low Elongation: Very small elongation at high tension.
◈Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance exceeds polyester fiber.
◈Non-electrostatic: Ensures safety and quality of printing.
◈Heat Resistance: Suitable for heat-melting ink applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main advantages of stainless steel mesh for printing?
It offers much higher tension and lower elongation compared to polyester mesh, providing superior stability and precision for high-definition graphics.
Which material is best for high-precision electronics printing?
316 and 316L stainless steel wires are ideal for high mesh counts due to their strong plasticity and excellent braiding effects.
Is the mesh resistant to chemicals and solvents?
Yes, the stainless steel wire provides excellent solvent and corrosion resistance, ensuring the safety and durability of the printing process.
Can this mesh be used with heat-melting inks?
Absolutely. Stainless steel wire mesh has unique heat-melting resistance, making it suitable for special heat-melt ink applications.
How do you ensure the tension is uniform across the screen?
Our factory utilizes a fully automated tension testing system during the production and shaping process to ensure every roll meets high flatness and tension requirements.
What is calendered mesh?
Calendered mesh is wire mesh that has been passed through rollers to reduce its thickness and flatten the surface, which helps in controlling ink deposit.
