Vastex Debuts New Screen-Printing Prepress System
Vastex Intl.,
Bethlehem, Pa., has introduced a prepress system for screen-printing
shops comprised of performance-matched components that significantly
reduce prepress time and increase registration accuracy, according to
the company.
The package includes a washout booth to clean, inspect and develop
screens; a semi-automatic screen coater to precisely apply emulsion; a
drying cabinet to cure the emulsion; an LED exposing unit to expose the
emulsion; and a pin registration system to preregister screens as well
as accurately register screens onto the press.
The stainless-steel Washout Booth, model VWB-3627, is equipped with a
frosted acrylic back panel and backlight to aid in visual inspection of
the screen and frame during cleaning, inspection and final development.
Foot-pedal operation of the wall-mounted C-1000 Semi-Automatic Screen Coater lowers the screen at a constant rate. — D.S.
