Rapid Screen Burning: After attaching positives to screens, users can proceed to burn all screens on any exposure unit in register. This step ensures that each screen is properly exposed, with artwork elements aligned according to the established registration standard.
-
Quick Setup on Press: Once screens are burned, users can effortlessly locate and clamp each screen onto their press in register using the Vastex pallet jig and corresponding screen stops. With this setup, screens are ready to print in less than 3 minutes per screen, allowing for efficient production and minimal downtime.
Benefits for Screen Printing Shops:
-
Increased Productivity: The VRS enables larger shops to boost output dramatically by transferring screen registration from the printing department to the art department. Additionally, one-man shops can significantly reduce setup time and increase the accuracy of screen registration, allowing for more efficient operation and faster turnaround times.
-
Improved Print Quality: By reducing registration time and improving accuracy, the VRS helps to enhance print quality and consistency. Shops can minimize rejects and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction by producing prints with precise registration and alignment.
-
Cost Savings: With the VRS, shops can cut overall registration time and lost profits by 70% to 90%, resulting in substantial cost savings over time. Additionally, the system helps to create a registration standard for the shop, eliminating guesswork and random placements and promoting efficient workflow management.
-
Quick ROI: The investment in the VRS can be recouped in less than one week for many shops, making it a highly cost-effective solution for improving efficiency and profitability in screen printing operations.
