The problems associated with the printing process on the non-absorbent film materials using manual screen printing technology have been analyzed. The effective way to improve the quality of manual printing with a squeegee device to stabilize the number of printing process parameters and to improve the reproduction and graphic performance of the prints have been reviewed. The problems of existing squeegee devices have been analyzed and the improved squeegee device, which is different from the analogues in the design simplification of the carriage drive and the device of lowering and lifting the squeegee-holder with the squeegee, reduction of metal constructions has been suggested. The increase in the device performance has been reached due to the carriage drive, which allows performing two opposing movements separated by the pause with the squeegee-holder and the squeegee for one cycle period.
Keywords: screen printing, squeegee device, manual screen printing press, biodegradable film packaging, the squeegee angle, the thickness of the ink layer.
