Screen Printing Exposure Units

E1000 & Expos-It vacuum UV exposure units for silk screen printing

Vastex exposure units for silk screen printers offer great value in a truly professional package. Screen printing exposure units ideally need vacuum hold down to create the best quality artwork and even the entry level E-1000 screen printing exposure unit offers this feature.

The E1000 tabletop vacuum exposure unit is our entry level system for screen production and as such, is priced at a very competitive level for a unit of this capability and quality.

The Expos-It tabletop vacuum exposure unit for silk screen printers uses UV or ultra violet light to expose screens for use with any screen printing equipment. The Expos-It is a mid-range, yet highly cost effective way to burn screens with the minimum of fuss.

On both the E1000 and Expos-It systems, the lid is raised and lowered by two gas struts and incorporates a rubber blanket and vacuum function to provide perfect contact for quality exposure. Vacuum is drawn through a manifold which ensure there are no holes in the rubber blanket.

Electronic ballasts ensure a quick and reliable tube start and a steady UV output. A digital timer controls both tubes and vacuum. Optically clear glass is used which helps to ensure a reliable and controlled exposure.

The product range:

Vastex VRS pin registration system

The optional VRS pin registration system can be integrated with both the E1000 and Exposit range.

The Lowdown on Exposure Units

Hobby Screen Printing

If you are screen printing purely as a hobby you may need to use a very basic exposure unit to make your screens due to budget constraints. Most creative individuals can come up with a very basic stand and using an outdoor halogen floodlight - hey presto an exposure unit!

The Professional Choice

Once you move from hobby to business, a more professional setup is important. After all, you will be selling the products you produce! As a minimum you need to use an exposure unit that uses black light uv tubes to ensure you get an even exposure across the entire surface of the screen and ensuring that the lights in the uv exposure unit are close enough to the screen not to require exposure times that last an eternity. Remember - time is money!

The Top End

A good quality metal halide exposure unit is what every screen printer strives to own. These exposure units provide the ideal light source for ultimate speed and supreme accuracy of screen exposure for even the finest detail. Metal halide light sources come either as self contained units or a freestanding light source with separate vacuum hold down frame.
