## Description

Supply of a Stand alone, sheet fed Flat Bed Screen/ Stencil printer for the fine line patterning and printing of conductive inks\. The paste or ink is applied either using stencil or screen mask\. Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil\. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact\. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed\.
