Silk screen printing exposure unit, 1000W halogen lamp
Silk Screen Exposure Lamp 1000W Halogen
A Silk Screen Exposure Lamp unit especially designed for the smaller volume silk screen printer. This unit is used to expose sensitised photo-emulsion coated silk screens (silk, nylon or polyester etc.). The unit comprises of two 500 watt Tungsten Halogen flood lights mounted on a high quality aluminium frame with a large base board. A generous size block of foam is also included for placing below the screens.
Designed for studio users including artists, T-Shirt printers, potters (decal printing), card makers etc. It is ideal for smaller screens, for exposing 'positive' artwork produced on acetate sheets using a home computer printer (laser or inkjet). It is also big enough to accomodate a fairly large screen frame size of up to 29" x 24" (the 29" is maximum but the 24" can be extended beyond the base if required.).
Supplied ready for use, all that you need to start exposing is a sheet of glass to cover your acetate artwork sheets. The sheet of glass should have smooth rounded corners to protect the screen. You will be able to obtain this from a local glass supplier at very modest cost (less than 10). (We don't supply the glass because of the high risk of breakage in transit).
We are the manufacturer of this item.
The RRP of these units is 165.00 each but they are offered here at a huge discount.
Replacement bulbs and all other spare parts (including longer leads, smaller foam blocks etc.) are always available.
Please note that the unit has now been upgraded with lots of enhancements (blue anodised frame, longer lead, etc. etc.), updated description to follow soon.
The ASSEL500X2 Silk Screen Exposure Lamp unit has many advantages over traditional exposure lamps
* Less bulky because does not need enclosure box
* Designed for the small business, home user, artist or desktop publisher. Ideal size for A3 or A4 artwork printed from a PC inkjet or laser printer on clear acetate sheets.
* Extremely cheap in comparison to the alternatives of Mercury vapour lamps, carbon arc lamps, UV or Metal Halide lamps. (e.g. Metal Halide bulbs cost over 150 each and have limited life).
* The light emitted from this exposure lamp is safe - it does NOT produce harmful UV radiation and so does not need to be shielded. We sell lots of these units to schools and colleges.
* Two lights are better than one because spreading the light source across a wider area ensures sharper definition of artwork edges and also ensures an even exposure across the whole of the artwork. A single light will be stronger at the centre and weaker at the perimeter, and cause shadow on edges of artwork.
* The Halogen lamps do get very hot and should not be operated for very long periods, but this will not effect normal use.
