6 Easy Steps to get better quality prints with your screen printing press

Are you getting misaligned and poor quality prints in your production? A possible reason may be your pallets are not leveled on your screen printing press. One of the crucial parts of the printing process is leveled screen printing pallets. If they are not leveled, the registration can’t be held by the press. That eventually results in misaligned and poor quality prints. Sometimes, the cause of poor quality is hard to find, in that case, you have to check for screen printing equipment repair. But in this blog we have mentioned the reasons and solution of leveling the pallet in screen printing press.

·         Damaging/bending pallets

·         Bumping/knocking into pallets

·         Too much squeegee pressure

Follow these steps to get leveled pallets for high-quality printing:

1.       Twist the off-contact adjustment in upwards direction, and then back four clicks.

2.       Put in a flood bar into Head 1. Rise the flood bar in the upward direction by turning the pressure adjustment. Once it’s all done, turn the pressure adjustment down four full turns.

3.       Turn off the air to the machine if it’s an air-filled head. Remove both the air tubes for Head 1 from the solenoid valve of the stroke cylinder. After that, where was the tubing, install plugs into the valve

4.       Turn on the air and pull the carousel to the upward direction.

5.       The spacing between the pallet and flood bar in all directions should be the thickness of a quarter. Check the spacing between them through the full stroke of the print carriage and make sure the spacing is uniform.

It’s vital that the pallets are level on your screen printing machine for quality prints! If above steps don't work then you have to call for screen printing equipment repair to get the fixing done!
