PCT No. PCT/GB96/01215 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 27, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 27, 1998 PCT Filed May 21, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/40525 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 19, 1996A method of screen printing on to a hard non-absorbent substrate (1) involves using a screen (10) which has an ink permeable area (B) whose pattern corresponds to whatever is to be printed. The area B is divided into two parts (X and Y). Part X is of normal, maximum, ink carrying capacity and part Y is of reduced ink carrying capacity. The ink carrying capacity of the reduced ink carrying capacity part Yis determined by the extent to which it is coated with ink/impenetrable emulsion (20), the size of the pores (18) in the screen (10) and the type of ink used. The ink carrying capacity of the part Y reduces with distance away from part X. The emulsion coating (20) may be in the form of dots (200), with the dots (200) increasing in diameter with distance away from part X. During printing, the reduced ink carrying capacity part Y is located over the edge region (E) of the substrate (1), and the substrate is printed up to but not on to its edge (6).
