Greetings!
This week's survey

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last Week's Survey

With solvent printers superseding a lot of screen printing, how durable and UV stable do you really find the print in comparison to Screen Printing?
 
  • Digital print is mostly good enough. I worry about it more than my customers. It of course depends on your customer & the use of the job. Some people laminate everything but I laminate only that which needs it for a longer or rougher life.
  • Do not compare at all. Screen Printing outlives didgital print by years and years and Years.
  • I find screenprinting inks are more durable than digital prints, main reason being screenprinting lays down more ink.  
  • Screen ink will last longer due the greater deposit of ink, but it depends on job. You wouldn't screen print 2 stickers, but you would digitally print these. It also comes down to media, and how long it will last.
  • I've been printing digital transfers for garments with solvent ink for the last 5 years. They've come in leaps and bounds, they are great for particular jobs. Were seeing the transfers last more than 2 years with regular washing. But you can never beat a screen print when it comes to volume and price weather it be for garments or sign products.  
  • I would have thought that UV digital printing is what is superseding most other types of printing and that longevity is not the main focus but cost and speed. If screen printers thought that one ink would work for everything, then they would have done that. That is pretty much what digital UV is and of course there are mayor compromises made as a consequence of this.  
  • Is really depend on ink, printer, print mode, and media. when you produce the good quality product with right uv laminate film you get easy 5 years out of printing.
  • nowhere near it. they have an expected life of about 6 months before the star to fade and look crappy.
  • Bit of a silly question since there are so many variables on both sides with different media, machine settings, inks and environment conditions, etc. However solvent printers and inks generally deliver very adequate results and UV is even better. Screenprinting usually delivers very good results but is cost prohibitive for really short runs.

A late comment on our survey a few weeks back deserves a read.....

Reply to - "Are overseas "online" printing companies hurting your business?"
Internet killed all industries as it became a global market.
Government made it easy by free import tax.
We created the problem ourselves as we wanted cheaper.
We don't work together when things are stuff.
I used to manufacture a 100% Australia signage fittings i.e. standoffs etc for most companies across Australia. I lost most of my sales due to signage companies themselves buying cheaper versions from overseas and my business nearly collapsed.
The solution, I spent 4 years in China setting up my own operations and manufactured the same product, same quality, same service, and supply within 24hours to your door and I can beat nearly all Chinese companies in all areas and still make a profit.
I hated the idea to move production and it was a nightmare to do so, but Ozzie companies wanted cheaper and cheaper and I had no option.
The solution.
*    Set yourself up in China like myself.
*    Buy from an Ozzie company like me whom have operations in both countries.
Working together is what is required to compete. Chinese always eat and buy Chinese. Japanese always buy Honda and Japanese items etc but why do we always do the opposite? If you need to buy from overseas, then why not buy from an Ozzie wherever he is located and communicate with him.
My overseas profits comes back to Australia, employee and contract people locally, taxes are paid locally and helps our country grow.  You don't have issues with quality, communication and goods are stocked locally. It's a simple solution but do you know how many will still go direct to save $0.50 - $1.00,  hence I say at the start we are a fool to ourselves as we don't work together and if we don't changed this attitude, then China will take over in all areas and we become like Europe.
