in recent years, the development of screen printing has entered a bottleneck period. The impact of new technology on the development of the industry, the impact of environmental protection policies and the shrinkage of the industry itself have all become factors restricting the development of the industry.The state’s determination in environmental protection policy has also greatly affected screen printing.In January 2015, Beijing issued the Catalogue of Pollution Industry, Production Process Adjustment and Equipment Elimination in Beijing (2014 edition), which stipulates that the “plastic Printing process using benzene and ketone organic solvents”, including screen printing, should be withdrawn from Beijing before the end of 2015, which has attracted wide attention from the industry of screen printing.And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Before and after, various environmental policies and regulations implemented by local governments also affected the development of screen printing to a certain extent.

1.The application of new technology has squeezed the screen market. Now, inkjet printing technology has developed greatly.In the last two years of the advertising exhibition, we see the advertising printing, especially large format printing, more and more use of digital printing technology, the market share is gradually expanding, screen printing – degree of decline, will be replaced by digital printing.Although there are different technical characteristics, “replace” is not true, but to a certain extent, it squeezed the living space of screen printing.At the same time, in recent years laser printing has been vigorously pursued.Besides, with the revolution of printing toner, it will also affect the industries such as ceramics and colored paper, which will have a greater impact on screen printing.Now many international manufacturers have developed related products, but it has not been fully introduced to the market, because this will be a disruptive revolution.

2.Screen printing inks to be developed according to the relevant data shows that domestic screen printing enterprises about 36% for imported screen printing inks.The larger the scale of the screen printing plant with the greater the proportion of imported ink.A large number of imported ink for two reasons: one is domestic oil production Zhao manufacturing variety is less, production is low, unable to fully meet user requirements;Second, the quality of some high-grade domestic ink is not stable, poor environmental performance, in order to meet the market demand, had to use a large number of imported ink.At present, China’s screen printing industry is still in large quantities

The use of solvent – based inks, solvent evaporation and discharge of a large number of personal injury and environmental pollution.Countries have put environmental protection as an important part of economic development strategy, as the screen printing industry association, China India and like the association is to speed up the green environmental protection material and products industry standard and set the pace, setting up a call on the environmental protection department and the competent department of the government at the same time, to speed up the standards for screen printing environment, the implementation of green projects, preferential policies to guide and support, promote and help enterprises to transition towards green, environmental protection, low consumption, maintain sustained, stable development of the industry.

3.The impact from digital printing

With the continuous development of Internet technology, large-format digital printing industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Meanwhile, large-format screen printing technology has been losing its original market share.Due to the lack of innovation, the technology has gradually fallen out of favor in the E-market.In order to address the impact of digital printing on the screen printing market, it is necessary to develop products – as well as personalized products.Of course, can also provide customers with post-press processing or special effects services.

4. Lack of talent

For a long time, people regard screen printing industry as a cold industry, because of this, the cultivation of screen printing technical personnel has been ignored.Various colleges and universities take screen printing as a special printing method.More mature screen printing P – printing plate, Eol talent shortage situation.On the other hand, when considering the cost of human resources and the pursuit of profit maximization, enterprises are often unwilling to provide the most effective training for talents.Therefore, screen printing talent training is difficult to complete in the production enterprise.
