The Vastex Registration System (VRS) revolutionizes the screen printing process by offering an ultra-fast and highly accurate pin registration system. With the VRS, users can effortlessly align positives onto screens off-press and ensure all colors are perfectly registered on any rear clamp screen printing press. This innovative system simplifies the registration process into four easy steps, enabling users to achieve precise registration and significantly reduce setup time.
Key Features:
- Efficient Setup Process: The VRS streamlines the setup process by allowing users to attach their positives to setup sheets in register using the alignment grid/pinboard. This step ensures that all artwork elements are accurately positioned and aligned before proceeding to the screen registration stage.
- Pin Registration System: The VRS incorporates a pin board with screen stops, enabling users to locate and attach their positives to screens in register with precision and ease. This pin registration system ensures consistent alignment of artwork elements across multiple screens, resulting in uniform and high-quality prints.
- Versatile Application: The VRS is compatible with any rear clamp screen printing press, making it suitable for a wide range of printing setups and configurations. Whether working with a single-color or multi-color press, users can rely on the VRS to achieve accurate registration and seamless integration with their existing equipment.
- 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.
