X-POSE™ Cliché Etching Equipment

The Deco Tech X-POSÉ™ UV vacuum exposure units are designed specifically for photo etching polymer pad printing plates or clichés. Our X-POSÉ™ units feature an attractive low profile powder coated steel casement, and they’re outfitted with easy to use controls that feature a precision digital timer control which is programmable from 0 to 599 seconds. The control panel is well laid out and easy to use and the vacuum pressure gauge is also located on the front panel to ensure that your clichés are being held down properly during exposure time.

There are two standard sized units available (see specs below) and there are also 4 other special order models available and the largest of those special units can expose a pad printing plate up to 380 x 820mm (14.96” x 32.28”). On all of our X-POSÉ™ exposure units the UV lamps are located inside the top cover for fast and easy pad printing cliché processing/ exposures and the lid smoothly raises and lowers with “no-slam” gas struts and a top that will lock into the upright position. Furthermore the X-POSÉ™ units feature a safety light shut-off device to prevent operation with the cover raised.

Operation of the X-POSÉ™ exposure unit is straightforward... simply place the cliché and film inside the blanket cover, close the lid and turn on the vacuum pump, set the timer value (in seconds), and press the start button. The integrated vacuum pump first removes the air from the blanket/ chamber to ensure perfect contact between art film and cliché. After proper vacuum level has been achieved, the exposure cycle automatically begins.

Our two standard X-POSÉ™ cliché exposure units are detailed below in the specs section. If you want to produce high quality polymer clichés then our X-POSÉ™ pad printing exposure unit is the best investment in ensuring quality printing results.
