Natgraph manufactures table top exposure and drying systems for small format screen printing. The exposure systems use a high efficiency metal halide lamp to expose screens in UV and IR light. The drying cabinets allow for controlled drying of screens on multiple levels. A specialized drying cabinet is designed for drying compact disc printing frames. These systems provide space-efficient exposure and drying for small screen sizes.
