Computer-to-Screen Printers
Drive Productivity
EXILE Technologies offers a number of direct-to-screen printer solutions to assist you in driving productivity in your screen production area. Our industry-leading products include the Spyder X, SCREENMAKER, and our LED CTS Exposure Units, The Expose CTS and V-Lux.
Many textile screen printers today are well aware of the advantages of adding a computer-to-screen imaging system into their pre-press workflow. CTS imaging eliminates film, reduces labor and overhead costs, and does so in a fraction of the time it takes to accomplish the same effort traditionally. A direct-to-screen printer can also provide an immediate quality improvement if it replaces an inkjet or toner-based film workflow.

SCREENMAKER
SCREENMAKER CTS produces high-quality stencils in minutes with automatic digital image registration built in.
After imaging, the screen is ready for immediate exposure without the need for a glass or vacuum. Pinholing and undercutting are completely eliminated, so small halftone highlight dots and shadow details are accurately reproduced.
The SCREENMAKER CTS is powered by CADLink’s SCREENMAKER RIP for imaging color separations quickly and easily from any Mac or Windows graphics application. It also includes a standalone Windows printing utility for print queue management, printer setup, and maintenance (ink level monitoring, nozzle checks, head cleaning, head alignment, etc.).
