Not knowing whether a screen is bad until it is on press may result in a press stop and loss of valuable press time.

This all changes with the new KIWO ScreenReader - the most flexible and versatile DotMeter available today. It is the only instrument that will read exposed and developed screen printing stencils as well as film and lithographic plates to give an accurate result to within ±1% of the tonal value.

The QC instrument 4-color process printers have been waiting for is here!
