Premium Wood Handle Ink Knife D230

The ink knife is a commonly used tool in the printing industry, primarily for controlling and adjusting the application and distribution of ink. Its role is especially important in screen printing. Specifically, the functions of the ink knife include:

1. Ink Application: The ink knife helps evenly spread ink onto the printing plate or the surface of the screen, ensuring consistent ink layers during the printing process.

2. Removing Excess Ink: During screen printing, the ink knife is used to scrape off excess ink, ensuring that the printed design is clear and sharp, and preventing ink buildup and unclear prints.

3. Adjusting Ink Thickness: By adjusting the pressure of the ink knife, the thickness of the ink layer can be controlled, affecting the fullness and precision of the print.

4. Protecting the Screen: The ink knife helps reduce the amount of ink flowing over the screen, minimizing damage to the screen mesh.
