AB Graphic Offers Short-Run Rotary Screen Capability

BOXMEER, Netherlands—A new intermittent screen printing unit, designed by Stork Prints for AB Graphic International’s 330 mm-wide Digicon Series 2 modular converting line, is proving to be a resounding success, with several orders placed in the first months of its launch.

A special feature of the unit is Stork’s patented intermittent-contact squeegee system. This eliminates the problem of mesh-stretching, by only applying downward pressure against the screen, while the mesh makes contact with the substrate. When the screen assumes the off-contact position, the squeegee pressure is immediately disengaged.
