Similarly, in many printing of securities, flat printing, gravure printing, screen printing and other special printing methods are organically combined, which can not only play a good decorative effect, but also play a role of anti-counterfeiting to a certain extent.

The other way of the combination of screen printing and other printing is to take screen printing as part of its printing process and play an important role. Such as transfer, the image on its plate is transferred by screen printing. The patterns on all kinds of printed printed paper are also obtained by screen printing.
