What is the difference between laser engraving process and silk screen printing process?

The editor has also started to play short videos recently.Strictly speaking, it has been a year since the editor started publishing short videos.But the editor has never taken care of it attentively, just like publishing some production videos, never seriously thinking about how to make a video account.As the whole people began to create their own video accounts, the editor wanted to make a video of his familiar knowledge of the drinking glass industry or industry secrets to tell everyone, after all, is it the age of content marketing?

The editor has made a few videos, but the effect is mediocre.Maybe the editor hasn't fully figured out what kind of content people prefer to watch.After sharing the video of laser engraving process in the last content, a friend left a message and wanted to know the difference between silk screen printing, so I will talk about the difference between laser engraving and silk screen printing today.

Although both the laser engraving process and the silk screen are for processing various patterns on the surface of the product (water cup), the production principle is completely different.

The laser engraving process is to edit the electronic file through the computer and output it in the format confirmed by the laser engraving machine, and use the laser engraving machine and high-temperature laser beam to burn the surface of the product (water cup) at high temperature to form a graphic appearance.

If it must be spoken in a popular way, it is equivalent to a scar left after high-temperature burning, but this scar is traceable, and it is displayed through computer calculations and set graphics.There are many kinds of laser engraving machines by function distinction, but the working principle is the same.

The laser engraving machine is a non-plate drawing, and because the laser engraving machine is burned at high temperature, the products carved by the laser engraving machine mostly show the actual material color of the product (water cup).There are also some laser engraving machines that can engrave the surface of the product (water cup) into black or red through the principle of spectrum, but this can only be done in one color, and a laser engraving machine can change the color of laser engraving at the same time.

The full name of silk screen printing is screen printing, and the working principle is to print graphics on the screen, and ink leakage printing through ink.Therefore, silk screen printing is also a plate printing. The same silk screen plate can be printed in various colors according to the requirements of the product (water cup) only by changing the color of the ink, or multiple colors can be printed on the same pattern at the same time.Multi-color screen printing machines are now very popular in the market.

Since the laser carving is burning, it is often found that the pattern is concave when it is touched by hand when it is processed.Since the silk screen does not damage the surface of the product (water cup), it is printed on it. After the printing is completed, the figure will be convex when touched by hand.

Compared with laser engraving, silk-screen printing has richer patterns and colors, and the silk-screen printing process will not damage the surface of the product (water cup).For some products, perhaps due to the material not up to standard, the part that has been engraved by laser will appear rusty for a little longer after laser engraving.
