F  ollowing a specific search in various fields, going on for years, GrafcoAST is now able to provide full technological support for the screen printer in order to reach true high definition results in textile and traditional screen printing.

In practice, it's finally possible to print using the same screen printing machines and screens used till now in the textile and graphic industry with final results that are very close to - and in many cases indistinguishable from - those obtained with digital ink-jet printers.

The impact of the GrafcoAST research and development results

1. HD-SYSTEM allows production of high quality, very similar to the one obtained with digital ink-jet printers, by using standard screen printing machines

.2. HD-SYSTEM is a significant expansion of the screen printing possibilities opening new horizons, for example, by combining - in a single stroke on the same piece using carousel machine with more than 6 colours – "high definition" and special effects prints, typical for textile printing (Glitter, Expan, Puff effects etc.)

3. HD-SYSTEM allows greater tolerance as of possible misregistration between the colours chosen for the halftone (e.g. CMYK), compared to all the systems used until now, maintaining high the final quality

4. HD-SYSTEM has permanently eliminated the Moirè problem

5. HD-SYSTEM can be used with good results on light supports and through the use of an appropriate under-base provides excellent results even on dark supports

6. HD-SYSTEM is able to reproduce - in an extremely close way - airbrush and spray shaded effects

7. HD-SYSTEM opens a world of new opportunities for the screen printer.

The digital ink-jet has allowed new creative possibilities.

HD-SYSTEM allows the industrial application - in large numbers – of the ink-jet possibilities.Now you can present to a customer a sample made with a digital textile printing machine knowing that he can get the same quality in production, using the reliable, proven and fruitful screen printing technology.
