~ If you want to see printing, use a cantilever head ~
When various processes are developed using the screen printing method,
I am interested in how the ink on the screen moves.
If it were possible to easily record and analyze this on video, there is a possibility that new facts could be found.
For that reason, it is important to be able to see the printed state clearly.

For shooting, the front of the printing press is as open as possible,
It is very convenient if the camera is structured to be close to the squeegee.
However, many printing presses have
It is structured to be driven by holding both ends.
For example, even when printing with a hand printing press such as the HP-320,
Holding the hand printing squeegee with both hands will result in more stable printing.
If you hold the squeegee with one hand and print, the variation will increase.
"Hold the squeegee firmly with both hands." This is the basis for hand printing.
The basic structure of a printing press is to have squeegees on both ends.
In such a structure, due to the workability of putting in and taking out the screen,
Many machines print in the front-to-back direction.
View from the side when observing the printing situation or taking a video.
In other words, it would be nice to see the squeegee passing right and left in front of you,
In the structure that drives by holding both ends of the squeegee, there are parts for driving in front of you, so you can't see it well.
If you put the camera in the gap between the parts, it will be difficult to determine the desired angle.
However, our company has a printing machine with an excellent structure that makes it easy to check the printing status.
They are "LS-34 series, "LS-25 series".
The biggest feature of this printing press is that the squeegee is cantilevered.
Since the squeegee is driven by holding only one side, the other side can be open.
In addition, since printing is performed in the horizontal direction, it is easy for people to observe the printing state from the front of the printing machine.
There are few interfering parts, so you can attach a camera and shoot from various angles.
Squeegee cantilever? Isn't it a structure that contradicts the story of hand printing?
Some people may think so, but don't worry.
Our cantilever squeegee head has the same strength as our double sided squeegee head.
This is a video taken by our company.
