All the screens for the design (one screen for each
color) are positioned accurately along the top of a
long endless belt, known as a blanket.
When flat screens are used for printing, the paste can be
spread across the screen either along the length, or across
the width. One, two or more passes of the squeegee can
be made as required. The two most popular squeegee
systems are described below:
Efficiency of Dryer:
The hardness and cross-section of the squeegee blade; a hard rubber squeegee
with a sharp cross-section is suitable for outlines, whereas a soft, rounded blade
applies more paste.
The viscosity of the print paste; within the constraint of the requirement for good
definition, the viscosity can be varied, thinner pastes passing through the screen
pores more readily than viscous ones.
The number of squeegee strokes; from two to four strokes are usually applied.
All these variables should be taken into consideration, in conjunction with the
nature of the design, when printing the chosen fabric.

Advantages & Limitations
Advantages:
Cost Effective.
14 to 16 colors can be used in a
single design.
Blotch designs can be made easily.
Big repeat designs can be made.
Areas of far greater size can be
stenciled. Frames 1.27m X1.52m
(50 X 60) are frequently used for
