Stretching plays a vital role in the process of creating cloth printing plates, as the tension of the stretched cloth directly impacts the quality of the print. At MAISHI MFG, we have extensive experience with polyester bolting cloth, and we are here to provide more insights:
When it comes to printing, it is crucial to ensure uniform tension in the screen plate to achieve accurate overprinting. This is where stretching cloth becomes essential. There are primarily two methods for stretching: manual stretching and mechanical stretching.
Manual stretching is a simple and traditional approach, commonly suitable for wooden frames. It involves fixing the cloth to the wooden frame using nails, wood strips, adhesives, or similar materials. While manual stretching can generally meet tension requirements, it often results in uneven tension, making it more tedious and time-consuming. Additionally, ensuring consistent cloth quality can be challenging. This method is typically used in applications where high printing accuracy is not the primary concern.
On the other hand, mechanical stretching utilizes mechanical force to tension the cloth, firmly bonding it to the frame with adhesive. This method can be applied to mesh frames made from various materials. Mechanical stretching boasts the advantages of uniform tension and ease in achieving the desired tension level. It is the ideal choice for high-precision plate making requirements.
