The Lawson Express-Jet CTS (Computer-To-Screen) Imaging Device is a high-speed inkjet solution designed to modernize the pre-press workflow for screen printing shops. By printing positives directly onto emulsion-coated screens, this system effectively eliminates the need for traditional film, significantly reducing both material costs and exposure times.

Whether you are looking to optimize daily output or achieve near-perfect registration, the Express-Jet CTS provides a streamlined, digital approach to traditional screen preparation.

Key Performance Features

Large-Format Imaging: Features a generous 20" x 28" image area, accommodating screen frames up to 25" x 36".
Precision & Speed: Utilizing the fastest bi-directional printing in the industry, it can produce up to 85 line halftones for high-detail graphic work.
Operational Efficiency: Includes a bulk ink system and integrated RIP software to ensure cost-effective, high-quality prints right out of the box.
User-Centric Design: Built for ease of use with air clamping for frame lock-in and full compatibility with 3-point registration systems.

Note: This machine is a primary choice for shops aiming to transition away from film positives while maintaining the high-resolution standards required for modern textile and graphic screen printing.
