[Strength of products/technologies]
We are the oldest total manufacturer of screen printing materials and machines in Japan .  We have intensive expertise and know-how on decorative printing, as well as functional printing, particularly printed electronics.  
We can provide unique proposals on required product functionalities in one-stop total solutions, which include mechanical control of printing, suggestion of basic printing conditions, and customized pastes. 
For example, in manufacturing of film type touch panels in R to R (in which we excel), we apply resist for pattern etching of transparent conductive layers on the surface, and perform etching and drying processes.  We then conduct bezel wiring in surrounding areas by screen printing.  We propose such steps as our total system solution.  Also, we use our technologies developed through transparent conductive layer pattern forming to respond to client requests for thinner lines, and make total proposals of Photo AG with screen printing and lithography methods, covering everything from paste making to facilities. 
We offer advice on printing, including functional printing.
