Screen Printing Lab

The screen printer is a materials deposition tool, used for thick film printing of tailored ink formulations. Typical uses for this facility include printed electronics or electronic circuitry fabrication and electrode fabrication. Graphics printing can also be done. A range of substrates can be used as the deposition medium including rigid and flexible plastics, ceramics, paper and textile materials. The facility also includes a UV curing system and a thermal curing oven.
