The KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT Imaging Technology
The basis of the new KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT is Texas Instrument’s patented DLP technology. In this process, UV light is focused onto a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device), a component with over one million micromirrors. Each of the micromirrors can be digitally controlled - the mirror either projects the light that it receives through an optical lens system or it diverts the light such that the lens does not catch it. This means that each mirror represents a pixel creating an image on the printing screen by exposing the stencil material.
During exposure, the entire imaging unit, lens system and DLP chip moves across the screen to image the screen in a smoth scrolling motion.
Key components of the KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT are:
• UV-Laser Modules
• Highest precision optical components
• Modern electronic sensory mechanisms
• Linear motor drive technique
• High precision mechanical engineering
• Powerful software
• Customizable frame holder sytem
Digital direct exposure of the screen with UV-Laser Light eliminates the masking process (film positives) by exposing only those areas of the screen that need to receive light, leaving the image area unexposed. After exposure the screen is developed with water as usual. The resulting screen features optimal image quality typically superior to conventional screen imaging.

The new KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT is the only digital direct exposure system utilizing DMD and high power UV-Lasers as a light source. Advantages of digital direct exposure with the KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT include:
• Unsurpassed image quality with 1500 or 2400 dpi resolution
• Fast exposure process
• Highest accuracy in image placement and image dimensions
• Shortest workflow in screen printing
• No consumables required
The KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT sets a new standard in Computer-To-Screen imaging.
The KIWO ScreenSetter2 LT offers the right configuration for the most applications. It comes standard with a custom configurable frame holder table, which is customized according to the users requirements. Custom solutions include multiple frame holder systems, custom pin registration and other design frame holder variations.
Another customizable feature is the light power. The machine can be configure with 1, 2 or 3 UV Laser modules offering the optimum configuration for the desired application.
