Summary

A small research and manufacturing company from Macedonia has developed a novel concept for compact economic printing over different types of curved areas. Concept is simple but efficient with small energy consumption. The company is looking for producers, manufacturing organizations and engineering companies involved in packaging and printing for licensing agreement or commercial agreement with technical assistance or technical collaboration.

Full description

Screen or silk printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing.
A small research and manufacturing company from Macedonia, with background of manufacturing printing machines has developed a novel concept for compact economic printing over different types of curved areas.
Innovation utilizes basic cinematic mechanisms in simple but efficient way with small energy consumption. It is a machine that uses technology of silk printing with universal application on convex and flat objects from different materials, plastic, metal, glass such as different containers, jars, glasses, bottles, tubes etc. regardless of the curvature of the surface (cylindrical, elliptic, conical, parabolic, hyperbolic etc.). This technology can be applied on variety of regular sizes for various products packaging used in the industry.

Innovative Aspects

This printing concept can offer:
" Universal use for various package sizes
" Simple and user friendly for controlling and using
" Different types of areas curvatures or flat ones
" Compact and easy adjustable, adaptive for decentralized printing tasks
" Small foot print and low energy consumption
" Ideal for small or medium scale printing

Partner expertise sought:

- Type of partner sought: Packaging industry, Printing industry
- Specific area of activity of the partner:
Food, chemical or other product industry that has printing needs, organizations involved in printing services
- Task to be performed by the partner sought:
Partners are sought for licensing or commercial agreements with technical assistance or technical co-operation.
