Screen Printing Applications

Textile (Apparel) Applications
 

Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for textile printing applications?
Murakami emulsions and capillary films are designed for long-run, high-speed garment printing. We make specific emulsions designed for different types of inks like plastisol, water based, and discharge inks. Modern exposure equipment require emulsions with high sensitivity. Being the inventors of PVA-SBQ emulsion, we are well equipped to rapidly provide formulations that suit every needs.

  • Excellent compatibility with water-based, plastisol, and discharge inks

  • High durability on automatic presses

  • Sharp edge definition for detailed prints

  • Stable performance under repeated use

Why is Smartmesh ideal for textile printing?
Smartmesh excels in textile printing with long-run registration and high tension stability. Smartmesh provides incredible long run registration on automatic presses.  Our very popular S mesh with greater open area and our high tension T and HD meshes all provide the best registration available to produce stunning textile prints like the shirt to the left.

  • Consistent Japanese quality for stable performance under repeatable prints

  • Balanced warp and weft threads to maintain square openings for better control over half tones

  • Decreased mesh and spot moire

  • Excellent quality control - batch to batch, lot to lot consistency

What products are made by screen printing for textile?

  • T-shirts and hoodies

  • Fashion apparel

  • Sportswear and jerseys

  • Bags and accessories

  • Workwear and uniforms

  • Flags and banners

  • Home textiles (pillows, curtains)

  • Promotional items (tote bags, caps)

  • Performance fabrics (moisture-wicking, reflective)

Graphics Applications
 

Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for graphics printing applications?
Murakami emulsions and capillary films are designed for long-run, UV, Solvent, and hot solvent inks printing. We make specific emulsions designed for controlling dot gain (tone jump) and our finely dispersed particles help to maintain copy of original image by forming smooth surface and opening shoulders for accurate paste deposits. We have access to a variety of acrylate monomers to formulate according to your needs.

  • Outstanding detail for halftones and fine lines

  • Durable for long production runs

  • Compatible with a wide range of graphic substrates

  • Excellent edge definition and ink control

Why is Smartmesh ideal for graphics printing?
Smartmesh ensures precise registration and consistent ink flow for high-quality graphic printing. Dependable print results with consistent mesh openings, fabric thickness, and thread diameter assure print quality from the first print to the last.

  • Uniform mesh openings and fabric thickness

  • Stable tension for repeatable quality

  • Excellent for multi-color and high-resolution prints

  • Reliable performance from first print to last

  • Batch to batch, lot to lot consistency a true Japanese quality

What products are made by screen printing for graphics?

  • Posters and fine art prints

  • Decals and stickers

  • Backlit displays and lightboxes

  • Packaging graphics (cosmetics, electronics, luxury goods)

  • Signage (retail, transit, outdoor)

  • CD/DVD covers and sleeves

  • Industrial labels

  • Glass and metal decoration

  • POP displays

Industrial Applications
 

Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for industrial printing applications?
Screen Printing is unique in its ability to print almost any substrate.  Murakami manufactures emulsions for the most difficult ink systems that are needed for print permanence. From hot solvent inks to ceramic frits, Murakami produces durable, sharp printing stencils to enhance any product. Manufactured under ISO standards for consistent quality they provide optimum control to meet your print engineering needs.

  • Resistant to aggressive solvents and abrasion

  • Stable under high tension and heat

  • Capable of holding tight registration on rigid substrates

  • Designed for long-run durability

Why is Smartmesh ideal for industrial printing?
Smartmesh is a precision mesh with precise openings, thread diameter and weave for consistent print results.  We can bias stretch on your graphic screen frames for outstanding print reproduction.

  • Precision weave for consistent ink laydown

  • Consistent bias stretching capability for enhanced image fidelity

  • High tension stability for repeatable results

  • Suitable for metal, glass, and plastic substrates

What products are made by screen printing for industrial products?

  • Appliance panels

  • Automotive dials and gauges

  • Glass panels (architectural, automotive)

  • Metal nameplates and tags

  • Medical device markings

  • Industrial overlays and control panels

  • Solar panel components (junction boxes, labels)

  • RFID, conductive traces)

Electronics Applications
 

Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for electronics printing applications?
Murakami emulsions are engineered for ultra-fine detail, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability—critical for electronics manufacturing. Murakami’s history of precision masks, proprietary emulsions, screen manufacturing techniques, and world class engineering evaluation provide sourcing of highly critical tools to screen print your electronics. 

  • Imágenes de alta resolución para circuitos de líneas finas

  • Excelente adhesión a sustratos metálicos y cerámicos

  • Resistencia a productos químicos agresivos utilizados en procesos de grabado y soldadura

  • Rendimiento estable bajo alta tensión y temperaturas elevadas

Why is Smartmesh ideal for electronics printing applications
Smartmesh (also Micromesh - stainless steel mesh) provide precision and consistency for high-tolerance printing. Smartmesh for this application is often used as the carrier for the stainless wire sheet used in combination or trampoline screens (normally 200 or 225 mesh). Maintains tension on the wire sheet evenly critical to dimensional stability of screen and printed results.

  • Diámetro de hilo y tejido consistentes para una deposición precisa de tinta

  • Altas cuentas de malla (Asada hasta 900 hilos por pulgada) para detalles ultra finos

  • Estabilidad dimensional bajo tensión para resultados repetibles

  • Ideal para tintas conductoras y capas dieléctricas

  • Consistencia de lote a lote, verdadera calidad japonesa

What products are made by screen printing for electronic products?

  • Placas de Circuito Impreso (PCBs)

  • Interruptores de membrana

  • Pantallas táctiles

  • Etiquetas de nomenclatura

  • Sensores (biosensores, sensores de presión)

  • Capacitores cerámicos (MLCC, LTCC)

  • Circuitos flexibles (FPC)
