CTS Laser-Jet Printer

Lawson’s Laser-to-Screen (LTS) Exposure Unit combines high-resolution direct laser imaging with a built-in exposure unit. Designed to image and expose screen printing frames up to 25" x 36" without vacuum or film positives, this LTS unit eliminates consumable ink, tubes, filters, pumps, and other maintenance items found in ink-jet systems.

The LTS images and exposes screens in approximately 90 seconds. Paired with Lawson’s Ajax-Developer (learn more), it reduces operator fatigue and errors. A single operator can image, expose, and develop/washout a screen by handling the frame only twice.

Using high-powered lasers to place and simultaneously burn/expose the image onto the screen, the LTS eliminates the need for expensive consumables like CTS ink. This reduces waste from empty ink bottles, film positive packaging, used filters, and waste ink, advancing your shop’s environmentally friendly and recycling goals.

Minimal maintenance means no fluid pumps, print heads, or nozzle checks to worry about, ensuring reliable operation without clogging issues.

The LTS system supports all standard aluminum screen printing frames, Newman Roller Frames, retensionable frames, and the M&R Tri-Lock System.
