Screen printing is the method most commonly used to fabricate various electronic components. Generally, the stencil for screen printing is formed with a woven mesh of thin stainless steel wires. However, electronic components are becoming increasingly miniaturized, and it is difficult to use such a stencil for finer applications. In this study, electroformed Ni-Co alloy meshes for screen printing were developed for these finer applications. The tensile properties of the mesh materials and printing durability of the meshes were investigated and compared with those of a conventional woven stainless steel mesh.
