Essential Screen Printing Pre-Press & Auxiliary Equipment

Running a successful screen printing business requires more than just a great press. The "behind-the-scenes" workflow—from screen preparation to final cleanup—dictates your shop's efficiency and profitability. At Lawson Screen & Digital Products, we provide the industrial-grade auxiliary equipment needed to streamline your production and maintain a professional-grade shop environment.

Why Your Pre-Press Workflow Matters

Quality prints start with quality screens. If your pre-press process is inconsistent, your final product will suffer. Our curated selection of pre-press tools helps you eliminate variables:

Maintenance and Shop Utilities

Efficiency doesn't stop once the job is printed. Managing your shop’s utilities and cleaning processes is vital for long-term success.

  • Compressed Air Solutions: Many automatic presses and specialized tools require consistent air pressure. We offer a range of Air Compressor Packages specifically sized for screen printing demands.
  • Spot Cleaning & Reclamation: Mistakes happen, but they don't have to ruin a garment. Use a Lawson Expert 1000 Spot Cleaning Gun to safely remove cured ink smudges. For the washout booth, our Drip-Drain Poly-Pro Sink provides a durable, chemical-resistant environment for screen reclamation.

Expert Support for Your Shop Setup

Choosing the right auxiliary equipment depends on your daily volume and the specific needs of your niche. Whether you are setting up a new Screen Printing Startup or upgrading a high-volume facility, our team is here to help.

Pre-Press & Auxiliary Equipment FAQ

What is the most important pre-press equipment for a new shop?

For most startups, a reliable Washout Sink and a Screen Drying Rack are essential. These ensure your screens are reclaimed properly and dried in a dust-free environment, which prevents pinholes and exposure issues.

Why do I need a specialized air compressor for screen printing?

Automatic presses and certain Auxiliary Equipment require clean, dry, and consistent air pressure to function. Our Air Compressor Packages are designed to handle the high-cycle demands of a print shop without moisture buildup that can damage pneumatic components.

How can I improve my screen room efficiency?

Implementing a pre-press registration system like the Super Simple Registration (SSR) can reduce press setup time by up to 50%, allowing you to move from screen coating to printing much faster.
