Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the stability of printing performance and at the time, to raise the yield and productivity of printed matter, by a method wherein an ink viscometer is arranged between a squeegee and a scraper, the viscosity of ink being regulated by an output signal from this viscometer and the ink of which the viscosity is regulated is supplied onto a screen. CONSTITUTION:A viscometer sensor part 5 for measuring the viscosity of ink 4 on a screen 3 is installed between a squeegee 1 and the scraper 2 which uniformly spreads ink 4 on the screen 3. The sensor part is so positioned as to be dipped into ink and hot contacted with the screen 3. The viscometer sensor part 5 is connected to a viscometer 7 and sends signal to an ink regulator 8 so that the viscosity of ink becomes a specific value. The ink of which the viscosity is regulated to a specific value by the ink regulator is sent to an ink feeder 9 and fed near the contact surface of the screen 3 and the scraper 2 from the ink feed pipe 6 provided between the squeegee 1 and the scraper 2.

Effect: According to the above configuration, the viscosity of the ink on the screen during printing can always be controlled to be constant. That is,
It is possible to prevent changes in ink viscosity that occur when the environmental conditions at the location where the printing machine is installed or when the ink temperature changes due to heat generation from the printing machine, thereby increasing the stability of printing. Further, even when the lot of ink to be supplied changes and the ink viscosity changes, the ink supply device of the present invention manages the ink viscosity on the screen, so stable printing performance can be obtained.

A screen 3 is installed between a squeegee 1 that serves to push ink 4 from a screen 3 on which a desired printing pattern is arranged onto a substrate (not shown) and a scraper 2 that serves to spread the ink 4 uniformly onto the screen 3. A viscometer sensor section 6 for measuring the viscosity of the upper ink 4 is installed, and is positioned so that the sensor section enters into the ink and does not come into contact with the screen 3. The viscometer sensor section 6 is connected to a viscometer 7, and sends a signal to the ink regulator 8 so that the ink viscosity becomes a predetermined value.
