KIWO Computer-to-Screen Systems

Digital Direct Exposure

The KIWO ScreenSetter
fulfills the requirements
of high-end applications
such as ceramic decal
CD/DVD repli cation,
glass decoration, printed
circuit boards and
membrane switches

Large format graphical applications are best handled with the LUESCHER JETSCREEN DX, which uses up to 256 Lasers to expose the screen directly.

Ink-Jet CTS

The target applications for the
Lüscher JetScreen are primarily
poster, signage, graphic overlay,
glass, banners and flag printing.

Computer-To-Screen Technology

Computer-To-Screen imaging (CTS) improves screen-printing’s workflow efficiency and lowers production cost through the elimination of film positives and related materials and handling requirements. The key advantages of CTS technology are:

Elimination films – This alone counts for largest savings in labor and materials.
File security and time to market – Image files can be uploaded to remote production facilities aiding timed distribution and file security.
Better control of the process – A fully digital CTS workflow provides better control in terms of product quality and quality assurance.
Reduction of processing steps – An average of 10 steps are eliminated with CTS leading to faster turn around times, higher process reliability and fewer remakes.
Quality improvement – CTS stencils exhibit wider tonal ranges, better detail and easier printability of halftones and detail. Even a 600 dpi CTS systems outperform film stencils!
Faster printing press set-up – The accuracy of the image placement on the screen allows for much shorter set-up times on press and color consistency.

KIWO, offers two CTS technologies, addressing the quality and economic issues of most screen printing applications: Ink-Jet CTS and Digital Direct exposure.
