The amount of print paste applied through electroformed nickel rotary screens and the penetration into cotton fabric have been studied using a magnetic rod (Zimmer) sample machine. In this work the effects of the variation of screen mesh, machine settings and print paste rheology have been monitored, and in a subsequent study the effects of changes in the substrate being printed will be assessed.
