UV S-LED 8000 Large Format Screen Exposure Unit
- Reference: MTP-S-LED-8000
€3,990.00 Tax excluded
Description
The UV S-LED 8000 large format screen exposure unit exposes screen printing frames up to 105 × 125 cm. Its 1,000 W LED light source operates at 395 nm. Exposure times range from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on screen preparation.
Exposure takes place under vacuum, using a quiet, automatic pump. The vacuum holds the film positive firmly against the emulsion during exposure.

Benefits of the UV S-LED 8000 large format screen exposure unit
Its large exposure area accommodates designs that require larger screen printing frames. The workshop can therefore vary screen sizes to suit each print job while continuing to use smaller screens.
Vacuum contact also affects stencil quality. Poor contact between the film positive and the emulsion causes a loss of detail after washout. Small text, fine lines and halftone dots are particularly sensitive. Firm film contact preserves sharp edges and fine design details.
Frequently asked questions about the UV S-LED 8000 screen exposure unit
Three questions often arise when choosing a large format screen exposure unit. They concern emulsion compatibility, exposing two screens together and machine maintenance.
Which emulsions are compatible with the UV S-LED 8000 screen exposure unit?
The unit works with emulsions suitable for LED exposure at 395 nm. Each emulsion’s technical data sheet specifies this compatibility.
Can the UV S-LED 8000 expose two screens at the same time?
Yes, provided both frames fit side by side within the machine’s maximum screen size. Their emulsions must require the same exposure time. A test exposure then confirms that each film positive remains firmly against its screen.
What maintenance does a vacuum screen exposure unit require?
Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth. The seals and vacuum operation also require regular checks. Keeping them in good condition maintains an airtight seal during exposure.
