Patrick Brunner considers the requirements of a screen-printing stencil in the automotive glass industry.
The automotive glass industry is highly dependent on failure-free screen-printing stencils.
An interruption of the screen-printing process due to a stencil that does not properly reproduce the intended artwork usually also interrupts the entire production process.
On a fully integrated in-line production, such interruptions may cause damage valued at thousands of Euros per hour.
Therefore, the 100% quality control of screen-printing stencils prior to the printing press release is crucial.
