A screen-printing apparatus for repeatedly marking an indicium at regularly spaced intervals or predefined discrete intervals on a surface or medium. The screen-printing apparatus includes a wheel mounted to a housing. A screen frame can be mounted to a housing that can interchangeably receive a screen having void(s) of a shape that corresponds to the indicia to be printed. The screen-printing apparatus also has an ink supplying unit that sprays ink over the top surface of the screen. A solenoid operably coupled to the ink supplying unit for triggering the ink supplying unit. The solenoid and the wheel are operably coupled to a control unit, the control unit can receive readings from the wheel about the distance covered by the wheel on the surface and based on the readings can trigger the solenoid at predefined intervals.

A screen printing press includes a base and a clamping mechanism which is connected to the base. The clamping mechanism has a first member, a second member disposed perpendicular to the first member, and an edge. The clamping mechanism has X, Y, and Z axes, The screen has a first surface and a second surface perpendicular to the first surface. A protruding stop is disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface. The screen is positioned in the clamping mechanism so that the first surface abuts the first member, the second surface abuts the second member, and the protruding stop abuts the edge. The base includes an open frame which defines a volume which is shaped and dimensioned to receive a burn unit, so that when the burn unit is placed within the volume the burn unit is visible.

The present application disclosed a squeegee, a printing equipment, and a printing method of substrate. The squeegee comprises a handle and a blade. The handle is used for connecting the squeegee with a printing frame. A protective layer is disposed on one side of the blade away from the handle. Compared with prior art, by disposing the protective layer on one side of the blade away from the handle, the embodiments of the present application effectively enhance the cushioning effect of the squeegee, thereby preventing screen printing from indirect damage of the squeegee to the substrate, and thereby improving process yields.

A molecular ink contains a silver carboxylate, an organic amine compound, an organic polymer binder, a surface tension modifier, and a solvent. The ink may be used to produce conductive silver traces on a substrate for use in fabricating electronic devices. The ink is particularly useful for producing conductive silver traces on a shapeable (e.g. stretchable) substrate in a low temperature sintering process. Also, a process for producing a conductive silver trace on a shaped substrate involves depositing the molecular ink on a shapeable substrate, drying the ink on the shapeable substrate to form a non-conductive trace containing the silver carboxylate on the shapeable substrate, forming the shapeable substrate into a shape to produce a shaped substrate so that at least a portion of the non-conductive trace is situated on a shaped portion of the shaped substrate, and sintering the shaped substrate to decompose the silver carboxylate to metallic silver thereby producing a conductive silver trace on at least the shaped portion of the shaped substrate. The process reduces potential for cracking of conductive silver traces on shaped substrates.
