Cell angle-Anilox cells are engraved in a linear pattern, and at various angles. Typical anilox cell angles are 30 °, 45 °, and 60 °. It is important to understand that the screen angle of the printing plate and the cell angle of the anilox roll can combine to cause an objectionable moiré pattern, even if only one-color halftones are being printed... While an anilox cell angle may be selected to help avoid moiré, the problem of moiré is usually avoided by angling the separation screens. Research and experience has shown that the 60 ° angle allows for more complete ink transfer, and is becoming the preferred cell angle for flexographic printers. 2, record 4, English, - cell%20angle

As most printed circuit boards are double-sided, the question has always been how to connect the top and bottom surfaces electrically to allow more complex board designs... Silver-through-hole technology(STH)... provides an electrical connection between the top and bottom surfaces. However, STH PCBs [printed circuit boards] use conductive silver ink printed on and through the holes to achieve the connection. The ink is printed using a silkscreen process... Silver or carbon inks may also be screen printed on a single surface to create electrical jumpers as well. 1, record 8, English, - silver%2Dthrough%2Dhole

Screen tension is extremely important when screen printing thick films on hybrid-circuit substrates. Tension that is too low results in irregular prints with regularly shaded gaps. An irregularly stretched screen will cause poor pattern definition. The greater the tension, the less amount of ink that will be printed. This is because the angle of attack is less, due to reduced screen deflection. Screen tension will vary with the life of the screen. When the tension becomes too low to be compensated for by adjustment to the printer, the screen must be discarded. 1, record 14, English, - screen%20tension

Record number: 20, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Corona discharge : Discharge caused by ionization of a gas surrounding a conductor, which occurs when the potential gradient exceeds a certain value but is not sufficient to cause sparking. Before printing in the screen process, polyethylene needs to be pre-treated to obtain good ink adhesion. This is usually done by exposing the surface to a corona discharge. 2, record 20, English, - corona%2Dtreated

le procédé de la sérigraphie en général est assimilable au pochoir : les parties d'impression ne devant pas recevoir d'encre sont artificiellement préservées par l'interposition d'un cache (écran, trame de soie) et seuls les endroits évidés laissent passer l'encre. Il est d'ailleurs le seul procédé qui permette d'imprimer sur des objets tels le verre, les plastiques, la céramique, etc. 3, record 21, French, - impression%20sur%20trame%20photographique
