i) What variable factors control the amount of paste flow in screen printing?
j) Explain the following printing faults
a. Registration:
Registration It has already been pointed out that accurate
movement of the blanket exactly one screen-repeat distance, each time
it is advanced, is essential for the correct registration of the colours in
the design, and that inadequate adhesion of the fabric to the blanket
will cause local misfitting.
b. Frame marks:

When printing consecutive screen repeats, the screen frame inevitably


falls on part of the area most recently printed and may leave an
impression. This is a particularly difficult problem for blotch screens
where large amounts of print paste are applied.

The problem is reduced in hand screen and semi-automatic screen


printing by printing alternate screen repeats and then moving back to
fill in the gaps, but this is obviously not possible in automatic machines,
since in these the movement of the blanket is always in the same
direction.

To avoid this fault is known as off-contact printing. The screen frame is


lowered to a point only just above the blanket, the gap being so small
that, as the squeegee passes and stretches the screen fabric, the
printing area of the screen makes contact with the fabric being printed.
c. Splashing:
When screens are lifted symmetrically after printing (that is, with the screen
remaining horizontal), print paste in the space beneath the screen can often
remain in contact with the screen momentarily and then splash back on to the
fabric.
This can be avoided, or at least reduced, by lifting the screens at one side just
before the other.
k) Define mesh?
l) Define raster?
m) What are pitch marks?
n) Define the squeegee systems?
o) List and briefly explain the parameters of intermittent movement?
List and briefly explain the parameters affecting the production rate of machines?(flat bed

printing?
q) Explain the three basic design aspects of Repeats? Diagrams appreciated?
r) What is the difference between Step and Repeat?
