Making “Glow-in-the-Dark” Screen Printing on Cotton Material (Comparative Review of Phosphorus and Rubber)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Screen printing consists of various types, including glow in the dark screen printing. This study aims to determine the effect of the phosphorus-to-transparent rubber ratio on the final results of glow-in-the dark screen printing. This type of research is an experiment, which has independent variables, namely the ratio of phosphorus and rubber 2: 5, 3: 5, 4: 5, and 5: 5, the dependent variable is the final results of glow-in-the dark screen printing which includes three aspects, namely sharpness, texture, and adhesion, control variables, namely screen, cliche, coating technique, squeegee, base ink color, phosphorus color, fabric used and the person who made the screen printing. The data collection method involved observations conducted by 10 observers. Data analysis was performed using mean value data. The analysis shows a significant effect of phosphorus-to-rubber ratios of 2:5, 3: 5, 4: 5, and 5: 5 on the final results of glow in the dark screen printing which includes aspects of color sharpness, texture, and ink adhesion. In terms of color sharpness, the 2:5 ratio produces the sharpest color compared to the 5:5, 4:5, and 5:5 ratios. In terms of texture, the 2:5 ratio produces the glossiest texture compared to ratios of 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5. In terms of ink adhesion, the 2:5 ratio produces the most adhesive ink compared to ratios of 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5.
