Screen Printing Is Key In Printed Electronic Technologies!
Printed electronics rely on high-precision screen printing, as demonstrated by the CeNTI SCREEN LAB,
which utilizes SignTronic’s StencilMaster STM CtS technology. Combined with Grünig’s automation solutions,
these systems enable precise and efficient stencil production—essential for advanced electronic applications.
🚀 New SPW Issue: Our Article on Print Precision!
In the latest edition of Specialist Printing Worldwide, SignTronic features an insightful article: "Print Precision and the Impact of the Printing Screen." We explore how precision in screen printing directly affects the performance and lifespan of the printing screen.
Discover the vital connection between printing accuracy and quality—and how precise control of your printing process can lead to optimal results.
PREPRESS – A KEY FACTOR IN THE SCREEN-PRINTING INDUSTRY
David Forrester Zamith, Chairman of Ruy de Lacerda, discusses the need for
innovative technology and automation in the prepress process, including the
company’s acquisition of the Grünig-Interscreen G-STRETCH 270 UV BOND LED
Does a higher resolution of image create better results?
Sandra Woerle, Marketing, SignTronic/Grunig-Interscreen, poses this question and details the comparison made to achieve the best outcome
SignTronic, together with other suppliers, have joined forces to show that the number of dpi, together with lower resolutions of image, can achieve perfect results. In the use of lower resolutions, the condition of an optimally selected mesh is essential.
In addition, a copying emulsion needs to be precisely adapted to the mesh.
TWO COMPANIES – ONE VISION
Sandra Wörle, Bachelor professional screen printing / Marketing Grünig and SignTronic, outlines the need for automation and standardisation to simplify screen printing.
Until recently, screen printing has been one of the most widely used finishing methods. This application – despite expectations and prognostics – has been refined and improved. More and more, companies set their stakes on this printing process or find the best results using serigraphy screens..
Simplifying screen printing on glass surfaces
The quality of a screen-printed glass product will only be as good as the previous process, i.e. the screen making procedure, explains Sandra Woerle from SignTronic/Grünig-Interscreen.
The demand for glass screen printing technology is rapidly growing, whether we are talking about disposable or
reusable products, solar panel plants covering the electric requirements of entire cities, decorative glass elements, or interior applications as well as generally in the automotive sector. In particular, the high-quality decoration and functional printing sectors are particularly versatile and interesting, and these are exactly the ones that require top quality and standardised procedures.
Art for Athlets
Andreas Ferndriger interviewed Fischer Sports GmbH management to find out why the Austrian winter sports company chose printing equipment and technology from SignTronic/Grünig for decorating its products.
SignTronic and Grünig offer overall solutions on a worldwide level for automatic screen making. With distribution partner Putz Drucktechnik, and in close co-operation with Fischer Sports in Austria, they were able to come up with a state-of-the-art solution to help Fischer optimise the printed designs on its skis.

Upgrading to automation for standardised screens
Andreas Ferndriger explains how automated screen-making equipment from SignTronic and Grünig has helped German glassware manufacturer Glaswerke Haller to modernise and optimise its operation.
A specialist in glassware for 75 years, Glaswerke Haller offers optimal solutions for any type of individual requirements – from smaller to larger projects and even up to exclusive single parts.
CtS Direct Exposure
There are some myths regarding the productivity of CTS direct exposure for screen printing that need to be addressed. Stefan Rothenbach looks at the influence different light sources and direct emulsions can have on the process.
Before broaching the subject of ‘light sources and direct emulsions’ in detail, let us recall the essential considerations for
selecting the right type of computer-to-screen (CTS) system.
