Direct to Screen Printing Machine Supplier

We offer Direct to Screen Printing Machine.
i-Image XE is M&R’s oversize version of i-Image STE, the world’s first all-in-one computer-to-screen (CTS) imaging and UV LED exposure system (US Patent Pending. European Patent Application No. 14721111.4). It’s ideal for imaging and exposing oversize screens for textile screen printing as well as for exposing and imaging multiple textile screens simultaneously. It’s also suitable for some graphics applications. By combining CTS imaging and UV LED screen exposure in one machine, M&R has dramatically reduced the time and effort required to prepare images for screen printing.

On the initial pass over the screen frame, i-Image XE uses specially-formulated water-based UV-blocking ink, advanced high-resolution CTS inkjet printer technology and three industrial printheads to quickly generate opaque images on emulsion-coated screens. On the return pass, the built-in high-output scanning UV LED light source exposes the emulsion, producing screens that can be taken directly to washout. CTS images are superior to traditional film positives, delivering greater detail and smoother halftone transitions.

All i-Images eliminate the need for costly film positives, as well as the space and labor required to store and retrieve them. Because the image information is digital, it’s easy to store and quick to retrieve.

i-Image XE’s onboard UV LED exposure system streamlines workflow and increases productivity, delivering fast, superior screen exposures with exponentially lower energy costs. Not only do UV LEDs use far less energy, they’re only on during the exposure process. M&R’s UV LEDs run cooler, save energy costs, reduce screen exposure time, and speed up production. And, unlike expensive metal-halide bulbs that require replacement every year or two, i-Image XE’s UV LED light source can last for decades. The i-Image XE computer-to-screen imaging & exposure system includes computer, monitor, and M&R’s proprietary software.
