Screen printing is often used where all other techniques have reached their limits:
It can print on almost all materials, both in terms of material thickness and surface. It can process almost all colours, especially colours with show effects, high opacity or very coarse pigments. It can control the ink application from thin to very tactilely thick. Many screen printing inks also show the highest possible resistance to the UV component in sunlight and weathering, resulting in a long product life.
In graphic screen printing on paper, cardboard and materials for book covers, screen printing for opaque printing on coloured paper or bookbinding cloth, glossy varnish effects, scratch-off fields for lots, neon colours, glitter varnishes, glow-in-the-dark afterglow colours, tactile prints such as relief varnish or textured varnish, partial application of stamp glue, scented varnishes or varnishes that imitate certain surfaces, such as rough concrete or knitted stitches, in a lifelike tactile way are typical.
