Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the reproducibility of an image and improve the printing accuracy by boring an image hole shaped trapezoidally with an upper end which is narrower than a specified image and a lower end which is broader than the image, in a metal thin sheet. CONSTITUTION:Both upper and lower surfaces of a stainless steel sheet 1 are etched for the same time, and the parts corresponding to through holes 9, 11 on both upper and lower surfaces of the stainless steel sheet 1 are melted to make an image hole 12. The size of the image hole 12 is the size of an image 17 at the center 14 with the upper end 13 being smaller than the image 17 and the lower end 15 being larger than the image 17, thus tapered from the top to the bottom like a trapezoid. A straight line B given connects the upper open end 13a to the lower open end 15a of the image hole 12, passing through a point on the wall surface at the center 14 of the image hole 12. Further, the image hole 12 is so formed that a vertical line C and a straight line B passing through the point form an angle theta1 of 10 deg.. Consequently, the shape and size of etching-resistant films 8, 10 and through holes 9, 11, that is, the image size of both upper and lower photomasks 5, 7 are determined. Finally, etching-resistant coats 2, 3 are removed to complete a metal mask 16.

When forming this metal mask, an anti-etching solution is applied to both front and back surfaces of a metal thin plate such as stainless steel, and photomasks identical to a predetermined image are arranged on both front and back surfaces of the metal thin plate. Light is applied to both sides from the outside of the photomask to expose the anti-etching film solution to form the anti-etching film. The metal sheet is washed to remove the unexposed etching resistant coating solution from the metal sheet. The thin metal plate is etched from both the front and back sides, and the portion of the thin metal plate where the etching resistant film is not formed is melted to form an image hole.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above conventional technique,
Since the holes are formed by etching, the holes are formed outside the edge of the etching resistant film in a shape that is spread about 1/4 of the material thickness of the metal plate. Therefore, the side wall of the image hole has a shape spreading outward from the line connecting the edge of the image hole and the central portion.
Therefore, when the etching time is short, the image hole 35 of the metal mask 34 forms an annular protrusion 36 at the central portion, and the hole diameter becomes smaller than the predetermined image 33 (FIG. 3A). Therefore, there is a possibility that the ink may not pass through the central portion during printing. Further, when the etching time is long, the upper and lower edges of the image hole 37 of the metal mask 34a have a predetermined aperture and the central portion 38 has a wider aperture than the predetermined image 33 (FIG. 3B). ). Therefore, when printing, the central portion 38
There was a risk that ink would remain on. Therefore, there is a problem that the printing accuracy is deteriorated.
