Exposure Units
Industrial UV and LED exposure equipment for screen printing frames and photopolymer pad printing clichés.
Screen Printing Exposure Units
LED vacuum exposure equipment for exposing emulsion-coated screen printing frames.
DT-120150-LED Exposure Unit
The DT-120150-LED uses a 480-watt UV LED array and integrated vacuum system for medium- and large-format screen printing frames. The LED source reaches full output immediately and requires no lamp warm-up.

What Are Exposure Units?
Exposure units are prepress machines that use controlled ultraviolet light to transfer artwork from a film positive into a photosensitive screen stencil or photopolymer printing plate. They are used before printing to create the image carrier that will ultimately transfer ink to the part.
In screen printing, UV light hardens the exposed areas of photo emulsion on the mesh. The unexposed emulsion is then washed away to create the open stencil through which ink passes. In pad printing, UV exposure is used during photopolymer cliché making so the artwork can be developed into the recessed image that holds and transfers the ink.
Why Vacuum Contact Matters
A vacuum system pulls the artwork film tightly against the coated screen or photopolymer plate during exposure. Close contact helps reduce light undercutting around the artwork and improves reproduction of small text, fine lines and image edges.
LED and UV Fluorescent Exposure Systems
Exposure systems can use different UV light sources depending on the application. The DT-120150-LED uses a high-output LED array for large screen frames, while the X-POSÉ 200W uses UV fluorescent tubes in a compact format designed for photopolymer pad printing clichés.
