In both print Rubbers is used as the printing paste. Crack printing is near similar as rubber printing process but additional crack paste is used before applying rubber printing paste by the screen printer on the fabric. In crack print when pull the print, it seem like crack, but rubber print only rubber and fixer are commonly used no use crack inks to produce crack effect. So when pull the rubber print, it seem like solid, smooth, plain and no crack effect.

ink jet printer in the world to
successfully print with co-curable inks
on uncured tire components and rubber
products. This specialized printer fully
automates the marking process,
streamlining the production process
and eliminating marking mistakes

6. • Rubber printing is done of the important
printing process. After apparel
manufacturing printing is done on the
surface of the fabric.
• Recipe:
• Rubber-98%
• Fixer-2%

8. • Crack printing is a printing method to
produce attractive design on the fabric
surface. Here rubber is used as the
printing paste. It is near similar as rubber
printing process but additional crack paste
is used before applying rubber printing
paste by the screen printer on the cotton
fabric. In crack print when pull the print, it
seem like crack, but rubber print when pull
it may seem crack effect.

10. • Printing recipe:
• Rubber-60%
• Add crack paste/clear -38%
• Fixer-2%
• Add crack paste/clear (Ecocrack White &
Clear. Suitable for crack effect silkscreen prints
on polyester-cotton blend and cotton fabric,
these are Eco-friendly water based that are soft

an auto crack finish with elasticity, wash
fastness, smoothness, excellent softness and

14. • You can use meshes ranging from 80-160/inch (32T-64T
cm), depending on the detail in your artwork. Keep in
mind the puff will cause the ink to expand, so your edge
definition may not be the same as you are used to.

15. Procedure of Rubber & Crack printing
Screen Preparation
• 110 Mesh with a 16% Emulsion of Mesh (EOM)
deposit. The goal is to achieve a heavier ink
deposit, so we use a thicker stencil.

18. Print Method
• Flood the stencil with ink and print stroke (multiple strokes can
be used to ensure thick deposit). A print-flash-print (PFP)
technique, simply flashing the ink and printing the same
screen again, can be used to achieve a higher, “stacked” puff
effect.
• We recommend keeping puff areas small and incorporating
negative (non-printing) space to make the texture noticeable
without feeling too heavy on the shirt. If you decide to go
against our better advice and print a large puff area, you might
consider printing large dots or a line pattern spaced closely
together. This will result in a more even looking puff print.

21. ifference between Rubber print and crack
print
In both print Rubbers is used as the printing
paste. Crack printing is near similar as rubber
printing process but additional crack paste is
used before applying rubber printing paste by
the screen printer on the fabric. In crack print
when pull the print, it seem like crack, but rubber
print only rubber and fixer are commonly used
no use crack inks to produce crack effect. So
when pull the rubber print, it seem like solid,
smooth, plain and no crack effect.
