Screen Frame Coating Systems
Hand-coating Troughs
Consistent and good quality coating of the mesh is the key to the quality of the finished print.
When coating manually it is very important that the screen is held firmly. A simple coating stand can help significantly.

Automatic Emulsion Coating Machine
Nowadays, the most frequently used method is direct emulsion coating. Important is, that the emulsion is standardized – automatically and reproducible – applied by a coating machine. The selected printing process determines the type and quality of coating. In this respect, the following parameters are of utmost importance:
- Coating thickness in micron (EOM)
- Surface roughness in micron (Rz)
- Resistance (water- or solvent-based ink)
- Necessary resolution / printing fineness
- Print run and print resistance
- At any rate, the use of the right kind of emulsion is a key factor that can save you a lot of money.
The choice of the appropriate coating machine is influenced by various key factors, such as:
- Screen size
- Screen quantity per day
- Sequence of operations
- Space available
- Budget
