Screen printing is a printing method known for its exceptional versatility, often described as being able to print on“almost anything except water and air.” As a result, it has become an indispensable printing technology in our daily lives and across various industrial sectors. It is widely used in a broad range of applications, from commercial products such as apparel, textiles, labels, stickers, and indoor/outdoor signage, to decorative and functional printing on household appliances and electronic devices. In recent years, advances in digital printing technologies such as inkjet have encroached upon some of its territory. However, we believe there is still ample room for development in applications involving materials and designs that can only be achieved through screen printing. There remains high anticipation for continued proposals utilizing screen printing technology across a wide range of industries. We, the Japan Screen Printing Equipment and Materials Association, are a group of 34 companies organized into four subcommittees that handle inks, stencil making, consumables, and printing equipment related to screen printing and other specialty printing processes. To help various markets leverage the unique characteristics of screen printing described above, our association aims to contribute to the growth of each member company by actively facilitating training opportunities and networking among members. We also strive to unlock the potential of screen printing and disseminate information that contributes to its further development. We would like to ask for the tremendous support of all concerned parties. Sincerely regards, Apr, 2026 The Japan Association of Screen-Printing Suppliers Chairman : Yuuichi Torii
