M&R i-Image STE I™ Computer-to-Screen (CTS) Imaging-Exposure System
i-Image STE I™ is the flagship of M&R’s i-Image Series of computer-to-screen (CTS) imaging and imaging/exposure systems. With its full-size built-in UV LED screen exposure panel, i-Image STE I offers the convenience of having CTS imaging and UV LED screen exposure in one machine. i-Image STE I doesn’t require a separate screen exposure unit—or the space one requires, and it dramatically reduces the time and effort required to prepare images for screen printing.
All i-Image models are fully integrated with M&R’s Tri-Sync™ system to deliver exact image placement from screen to screen, dramatically reducing screen processing and press setup times. The innovative i-Image Tri-Sync system visually displays when the screen frame is properly loaded, and only then will allow the imaging process to begin. The corresponding Tri-Sync on-press pallet also displays visual confirmation of correct screen placement— ensuring the fastest, most accurate screen setups possible.
i-Image STE I is available in two sizes and three printhead configurations. i-Image STE I 36 models process image areas up to 51 x 66 cm (20” x 26”) and accept most screen frames up to 66 x 91 cm (26" x 36"). i-Image STE I 43 models process image areas up to 51 x 86 cm (20” x 34”) and accept most screen frames in sizes up to 66 x 109 cm (26" x 43"). Both sizes are available with one, two, or three industrial printheads.
COMPUTER-TO-SCREEN IMAGING
- Can be user-customized for specific art types, various mesh counts, and types of emulsion
- Digital workflow simplifies the imaging process
- Eliminates the need for costly film
- Improves image quality
- Produces exceptional screen-to-screen registration
- Promotes faster on-press setup and registration
- Provides complete control of print parameters
- Provides full image scaling and positioning
- Reduces processing steps
- Virtually eliminates pinhole touchup
- Workflow can be customized for specific customer needs
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
- Designed & disassembled to fit through a 78 cm (31") doorway
- Includes computer, monitor, and M&R’s proprietary software
- Self-contained design speeds production by allowing placement in light-safe screen-coating rooms
- Touchscreen panel with alphanumeric display
LIGHT SOURCE FOR SCREEN EXPOSURES
- Combines CTS imaging and UV LED screen exposure in one machine
- Dramatically reduces exposure time
- Eliminates the need for a separate screen exposure unit
- Exposes emulsion with a full-size flatbed light source
- Job Recall™ allows storage and recall of numerous screen exposure values
- The high density of M&R’s UV LEDs ensures the quickest exposures and the most uniform coverage available
- UV LEDs use far less energy than metal halide lamps and are only on during the screen exposure process
TRI-SYNC™ SYSTEM
- Contact indicator ensures proper screen placement prior to imaging (the PRINT button lights up when the screen is locked in place)
- Helps ensure that every CTS-generated screen is accurately pre-registered for M&R’s Tri-Loc system
- Prevents images from being printed if the screen frame has not been properly loaded (this feature can be turned off)
- Tri-Sync Pallet (included) uses a similar contact indicator to ensure proper screen placement on the press
