Screen printing started out in textile-related applications and is now used in a wide range of applications, including decorative and functional printing on everyday items, home appliances, and electronic devices. With recent advances in digital technology like ink-jet, the opportunities for using screen printing have greatly decreased. However, there is still plenty of room for further development in the applications of screen printing. We have a wide range of technologies, not just decoration technologies, but also electronic circuit formation technologies and coating technologies. There are high expectations for further proposals using this printing technology in a wide range of industrial sectors. We, the Japan Association of Screen-Printing Suppliers, are a group of companies that handle inks, plates, consumable materials, and printing equipment related to screen printing and related special printing techniques. In order to enable our members to utilize the above-mentioned features in many markets, our association aims to contribute to the development of each member company and to disseminate information that contributes to the development of screen printing by proactively providing training opportunities and exchanges between members. We would like to ask for the tremendous support of all concerned parties. Apr, 2025 The Japan Association of Screen-Printing Suppliers Chairman : Hiroshi Kubo
