Difference Between Flat Screen & Rotary Screen Printing

As most of the screen printing procedures are different; we can discuss the difference between the Flat & Rotary Screen Printing processes:

1. In Flat Screen Printing Technology the screen is flat and moves up and down. Besides, the Rotary screen is round in size and it rotates.
2. In Flat screen printing the Squeeze is used. In Rotary Screen Printing, just Roller is used.
3. Small-width fabric (45-50″) is printed on Flat Screen Printing. On the other side, the large-width fabric is printed on Rotary screen printing.
4. In flat screen printing patterns, there are only 6 to 8 colors available. But if you use Rotary Screen printing, then you will be able to use 16 to 24 colors in a pattern.
5. Flat screen printing process gives a lower production rate. And Rotary Screen printing is comparatively faster than Flat Screen printing and the production rate is 3 times higher than that.
6. The initial investment cost for a Flat screen printing machine is low so it’s less expensive. But, the initial cost of investment in Rotary screen printing is too high; so, it’s expensive.

Though, the Rotary screen printing machine is too much expensive; today’s contemporary textile industry uses the expensive one because of its productivity and flexibility.
