A4 Thermal Screen Maker - $998.00 plus postage.
Eliminates Print Lamps giving you the lowest operational cost

Even thought this Screen maker requires a little more investment, this new model is a huge advantage, the low ongoing screen costs are simply amazing:

  • The all new A4 Thermal Screen Maker has a massive 8 1/2” X 13” imaging width – now enabling larger designs to be imaged in one pass!
  • The new machine is based on the Thermal Imaging technology using the reliable infrared heat lamp & carrier imaging method. The heat/ density of the imaging setting is changed by the speed at which the artwork passes through the machine.
  • Several major enhancements and modifications have been made to improve the system in terms of use, reliability and repair. A completely new design has removed all the complex moving wheels/ cogs and gears of the previous models, with a new electronic direct drive system used.
  • Overheating & carrier jams have been solved through the use of several internal sensors, which have a 2 stage operation by limiting the number of screens that may be imaged when the machine becomes hot after use and then stops the lamp when overheating has occurred – completely eliminating damage to the lamp, glass roller & internal components.


    3 Key Benefits:

    Simple function requires no training or experience for use.

    Compact design makes transport & storage easy with little to no maintenance required.

    Eliminates Print Lamps giving you the lowest operational cost.
     

    ART WORK PREPARATION
    Artwork can be hand drawn, photocopied or a computer laser print - as long as it’s carbon based it will work.

    Cut a piece of screen master to fit the size of your design. Lay ScreenMaster smooth side down over artwork. Lift the clear cover of the carrier and place your artwork 'face up' inside the carrier.

    Turn the machine on and set to the to the required setting (5 is normally used for photocopies/ laser prints) and feed the carrier into the front of the machine in a continuous motion.
    Feed carrier in with 1 motion - don't stop or pause.

    The carrier will be passed through the machine and fed out the back of the machine. Do not stop feeding when the light from the heat is visible. The machine will ‘grab’ the carrier and pull it through. Support the carrier as it comes through the machine and out the back.


    Do not pull it through the machine, just support its weight as it comes out the back.

    Lift cover and remove imaged screen. Peel a corner to check if screen is imaged. Lift the cover and remove your imaged screen from the carrier.

    As pictured, the screen has now been imaged. Check a corner to see the screen has been imaged correctly (you may need to adjust your setting if required).

    A set heat is produced using an IR heat element to image the screen. The ‘intensity’ is adjusted by use of speed, rather than adjusting the actual heat itself. To increase the heat the speed is slowed and vice versa to lighten the heat.

    With your screen now imaged you are ready to mount your screen to a frame and commence printing.
