Many ribbon printing factories need to pay attention to printing issues when mass-producing silk-screen products, ribbon printing, and satin printing. Silk screen is the basis of silk screen printing, and choosing the appropriate silk screen is an indispensable link. Strictly produce according to customized requirements and strictly control product quality. And all ribbons, ropes, and laces are dyed with high-quality dyes, which meet EU environmental protection requirements. Today, the editor mainly tells you about the matters that should be paid attention to when printing ribbons:
Printed ribbons are ribbons with text and patterns printed on them using printing technology. Depending on the material of the ribbon, there will be different printing effects. Here are some things you should pay attention to when printing ribbons.
1. Printing method
1. Screen printing
Screen printing is to stretch silk fabric, synthetic fiber fabric or metal screen on the screen frame, and make the screen printing plate by hand-carving paint film or photochemical plate making. Modern screen printing technology uses photosensitive materials to make screen printing plates by photoengraving (making the screen holes of the image part of the screen printing plate through holes, and the screen holes of the non-image part are blocked). During printing, the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh holes of the image part through the extrusion of the scraper, forming the same image as the original. Screen printing equipment is simple and easy to operate, and printing and plate making are simple and low-cost, and have strong adaptability.
2. Thermal transfer
The transfer process is also widely used in the gift industry, especially in the production of lanyards. This process is low-cost and effective. It has an absolute price advantage when printing dot patterns, and the thermal transfer lanyard is absolutely environmentally friendly, so it is also widely loved by customers and friends.
3. Computer jacquard
Computer jacquard is a process of weaving different colored patterns on the ribbon with different colored yarns, which is formed synchronously with the ribbon. It is made into high-end and fashionable lanyards. However, the limitation of computer jacquard is that it cannot make very complex patterns, and the colors should not be too many. The operation is more difficult because it is directly woven, the cost is relatively high, and the loss is relatively large, and the minimum order quantity is relatively high. It is divided into single-sided jacquard and double-sided jacquard. This should be a kind of weaving process, and cannot be classified as printing.
2. Precautions when printing
1. Ordinary satin ribbons are made of silk-screen patterns and English letter logos using silk-screen printing technology. If you want to choose higher quality, you can choose polyester ribbon as the base material for silk-screen processing. The silk-screen effect will be better when silk-screening on polyester ribbons and polyester satin ribbons, because the yarn density of polyester ribbons is higher and the hand feel is more delicate and smoother. Compared with ordinary satin ribbons, polyester ribbons have good quality, high yarn density, and a slightly higher price, but the effect is also good.
2. Silk-screen processing of polyester ribbons. The surface of the ribbons and satin materials looks relatively smooth, belonging to the satin ribbon series. There is also silk-screen processing on the ribbed ribbons. The ribbed ribbons have spiral and horizontal protruding patterns on the surface. This kind of ribbed ribbon feels thicker to the touch, and it is also very exquisite after silk-screen processing.
3. First of all, consider the difficulty of the ink passing through the screen. Generally, this aspect is considered more when selecting. The ink used for the intermediate tone is the ink with high transparency, the vibrating particles are relatively fine, the ratio of the relative vibrating material carrier is higher, and the ink has good permeability. This kind of ink can also pass well when using a high mesh screen. Generally, plastic ink has good permeability. Special purpose ink and ink with high vibrating concentration have relatively poor permeability despite the fine particles.
Matters needing attention in continuous dyeing of ribbons

1. Factors of ribbon blanks: First of all, we should pay attention to whether the yarn used in the ribbon blanks is from the same batch, because the "oil" contained in different batches of yarn is different. If it is blended, it will become a factor of the color in the dyeing process; secondly, whether the blank has been pre-treated. The dyeing effect of the refined blank is very good, because the "oil" on the yarn is removed after treatment, and the dye can be directly in contact with the fiber for dyeing without protection.
