Before a screen printing machine can print anything, somebody has to make the screen. These machines image it directly from the file — no film, no ink, no wax and no exposure frame. Built by DOSUN of Hangzhou, who wrote the Chinese national standard for computer-to-screen engraving.
BR series · rotary · laser
Rotary screens to 3500 mm, imaged by the blue-fina laser engine. Repeats from 640 to 1018 mm.
BRC series · rotary · laser
The larger rotary machine, to 3500 mm, with up to 24 laser channels and resolution to 1440 dpi.
BF series · flatbed · laser
Flat screens, imaged by 405 nm laser at up to 720 dpi with 32, 48 or 64 channels.
Flatbed · inkjet
The fast route for flat screens — 3200 nozzles laying wax at 3 to 4 minutes the square metre.
Direct engraving removes film, ink and wax from the process along with the exposure step, so a design goes from the screen on the computer to a screen on the machine without a darkroom in between. For a mill running a rotary screen printing line, the engraver is what decides how quickly a new design reaches production — and how fine the detail can be.
It depends on what your printing machines take and how fine your designs are. Tell us the screen sizes and repeats you work to and we will say which of these suits, or whether one machine can cover both.
