Screen printing has been a cornerstone of the printing world for decades. From T-shirt graphics to industrial glass and electronics, it remains one of the most versatile printing methods. But here’s the challenge: traditional plate making is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often inconsistent.
This is where modern screen plate making machines—such as those designed by Gongzheng Group Co., Ltd—are stepping in to change the game. In 2025, businesses that upgrade their plate making process will see faster turnaround, lower costs, and higher-quality prints.
The Pain Points of Traditional Plate Making
In the past, screen plate making involved multiple manual steps: coating, drying, exposing, and washing. Each step increased the risk of:
Human error leading to poor image quality
Long preparation times before printing could even start
Higher costs due to wasted screens and chemicals
For small shops, this meant fewer completed jobs per day. For larger companies, it created bottlenecks in production.
How Screen Plate Making Machines Solve These Issues
A screen plate making machine automates the critical exposure process, ensuring consistent results with minimal manual input. Gongzheng’s solutions are engineered for:
High precision – Accurate exposure for sharp, detailed prints
Time savings – Faster plate making compared to manual methods
User-friendly operation – Simple controls even for new operators
Durability – Machines designed for continuous use in busy print shops
This level of automation not only reduces labor but also improves overall print consistency—something customers notice immediately.
