Screenprinting Control Panels
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:25 am
Hi everyone,
I am beginning the process of putting together a simple screenprinting setup to screen aluminum control panels for amplifiers and audio equipment. I have watched what seems like hundreds of videos on the screenprinting process so I am pretty confident I have a good basic understanding of things.
I do have a couple of specific questions however...
- Firstly, for printing simple control panels like this http://www.voxshowroom.com/ct/amp/uk/mi ... 0panel.jpg - What value mesh screen should I be looking at purchasing?
- Secondly, does anybody here have any experience with the type of ink I should be using for control panels? Most of what I read relates to printing onto textiles so it would be good to hear from somebody who has printed onto a similar substrate before.
Look forward to peoples comments!
