Equipment for various types of printing including screen printing, flexographic and test equipment to make sure inks and printing is consistent and repeatable.

Pumps

We have Pumps, for handling the chemicals and coatings. We offer peristaltic pumps, transfer pumps and many types of different hand pumps for UV Curing, inks and chemicals. All wetted parts in the pump product line has been soak tested in the popular monomers to insure that there would be no swelling or adverse effect on the pumps life.

Metal should not be used. To offer a full line of UV appropriate products we have selected from each of our suppliers the best for UV Curing products.

Film Thickness Controls

Film Thickness Controls to determine a desirable film thickness requires understanding of how a wet film reacts at different thickness's. Viscosity, surface tension and other physical properties that affect the final result must be understood before establishing what thickness will be accepted for a particular production. We have different tools to determine these characteristics including Drawdowm (sometimes known as Meyer/K bars) and Drawdown Machines, Ink Proofers including hand ink proofers.

Drawdown Bars & Rods
