Autotype Helps Win On Silver Screen
The leading Italian screen print company, Serigraphia Formiginese, has won first prize in the Industrial Screen Print category of the prestigious Silver Screen Awards.
The Caplicator Programme comprises four main tools.
Firstly, there is a mounting board for small (CD size) sheets of film and also a film cassette for mounting medium to large screens, as well as a 'bolt on' adaptor for automatic coating machines.
There is also a dispenser for rolls of film.
The mounting board for small sheets of film incorporates precision angled edges to ensure bubble free application and is particularly suitable for CD stencil making said Autotype.
The larger Caplicator mounting cassette is available in five widths, from 45 cm to 122 cm, and has been developed to make it easy to mount larger screens precisely and consistently claimed Autotype.
The unit enables rolled film to be held safely within the lightweight cassette until it is applied to wet mesh and features a built-in dust wiper to remove any surface contamination that may have been collected during handling.
The Auto Caplicator is designed to enable the Caplicator to operate effectively on automatic coating machines.
The unit can be retrofitted to virtually any twin tower coating machine in place of a print-side trough and is simple to fit and operate claimed the company.
As there are no electrical or air connections, it only takes a few seconds to change from emulsion to film mode, allowing printers to use the most appropriate stencil system for each print job.
The final tool within the Caplicator Programme is an Auto Dispenser, which enables the printer to roll off exactly the right length of material for each screen.
The unit uses a standard 10-metre roll of film, which is held within a cassette ready to be rolled off onto a core and it features a built-in counter to ensure that the correct film length is measured. Request a free brochure from MacDermid Autotype ...
