Correct exposure of the stencil affects the resolution of the stencil and the durability of the screen on press. Our expsoure test films are easy to use tools not only to set the exposure times but also to monitor exposure consistency with every screen. Our test films are separated into three sets, specifically designed to provide optimum results on various mesh counts and stencil materials. Now you have the possibility to use the same exposure targetsthat we use in our labs to evaluate our new developments.

KIWO has always been a pioneer in application technology and has been on the forefront to develop and promote such concepts as emulsion-over-mesh ratio and Rz-value (roughness) of the stencil, which by now have become industry standards. Stencil quality is directly responsible for the print quality and consistency in screen production is essential for achiving repeatable quality results. Our quality control tools help you to keep track of the most important influencing parameters during stencil making such as stencil thickness, stencil roughness, exposure times and stencil resolution.
