    The document describes two types of printing machines: flat bed printing and roller printing. Flat bed printing uses a screen placed on a flat surface where a squeegee spreads printing paste through the fabric. Roller printing was patented in 1783 and uses engraved copper rollers to transfer a design to fabric by pressing it against an inked roller. Key parts of roller printing machines include press rollers, copper rollers containing the design, a print paste bath, and guide rollers.

    Rotary Screen Printing
    Function/Description

    In the field of screen technology, a general distinction between surface printing and rotary
    printing can be made. For the continuous processing of coating compounds, only the rotary
    screen technology is used.
    The coating raw material to be applicated is pumped into a rotating screen. Then it is applicated
    onto the substrate by a knife which is placed inside the screen. The coating weight is determined
    by the mesh number of the screen (openings/cm²) and by the thickness of the screening plate.
    The rotary screen technology is used for the application of foams and special designs.

    Flat bed Printing:

    Flat Screen:

    The screen contains the design to be printed. The Screen is placed on the flat bed
    on which fabric is already placed.

    Roller Squeegee:
    It is a metallic roller which is operated through a magnet that is placer under the
    flat bed. It rolls on to the screen by magnetic attraction and spread the printing paste through the
    length of the fabric.

    Rubber Squeegee:

    Rubber squeegee can also be used instead of the metallic roller. It is also used to
    spread printing paste through the length of the fabric. It is operated by means of the arms to
    which it is attached named rubber squeegee control.

    Rubber squeegee control:

    It controls the movement of the rubber squeegee.

    Pressure Control:

    Pressure control controls the pressure of the squeegee on the screen.

    Speed control:

    It controls the speed of the squeegee of the on the screen

    Roller Printing:
    Roller printing, also called cylinder printing or machine printing, on fabrics is a textile printing process
    patented by Thomas Bell of Scotland in 1783 in an attempt to reduce the cost of the earlier copperplate
    printing.

    Machine Parts:

    Press Roller:

    It is a cylindrical drum which presses the copper roll.

    Copper Roller:

    On copper roller the design is engraved. It provides drive to the press roller.

    Print Paste Bath:

    It contains the print paste which moves to the copper roller from that it is printed
    to the fabric.

    Guide Rollers:

    Guides the path of the fabric.
