Digi-Star Elite Textile Conveyor Dryer

The Most Advanced Dryer for Screen Printing and DTG

The Lawson Digi-Star Elite is an intelligent conveyor dryer designed for curing screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), and digital inks. It features a large, information-rich color touchscreen and is the most energy-efficient electric convection jet-air dryer in the industry. With true edge-to-edge heating elements, the Digi-Star Elite provides consistent heat without increasing utility costs, unlike dryers with angled heating elements. The Arrow Belt™ conveyor system automatically tracks the dryer belt for reliable operation.

The Digi-Star Elite utilizes state-of-the-art curing technology to effectively cure digital DTG inks, water-based, plastisol, discharge, and solvent-based inks. This universal live-air dryer is versatile enough to handle all curing needs.

With pressurized jet-air plenums and color-blind infrared, the Digi-Star Elite creates a blanket of recirculating hot air in a compact design, maximizing production in minimal space.

A Programmable Touchscreen for Smart Controls

The industry’s most advanced and intuitive color touchscreen comes standard with the Digi-Star Elite. Designed to mimic the movements and gestures of iPhone and Android devices, the touchscreen control pad allows anyone to monitor dryer status, including chamber temperature, belt speed, and garment time in the chamber (down to the hundredth of a second). You can monitor and adjust settings remotely from your iPhone, Android, iPad, or tablet.

Program virtually unlimited “recipes” or job settings for various printing types. This feature is ideal for shops switching between different shirts, inks, and printing methods, such as plastisol on 50/50 shirts, DTG on hoodies, or water-based on cotton. Pre-programmed settings for dryer temperature and time allow operators to instantly recall configurations for each job. For quality control, the system tracks all changes, enabling owners and managers to see who made adjustments and when.

The Digi-Star Elite is optimized for curing digital inkjet DTG prints from any brand, including Epson F2000, Epson F2100, Brother GTX, Brother GT-3, AnaJet, Kornit, and M&R Maverick. It supports split or multiple belts to increase production and vary drying times based on shirt color, ink deposit, garment type, and pre-treat deposit.

The Digi-Star Elite is also suitable for plastisol, water-based, and all DTG inks. It offers excellent production capabilities, especially in space-constrained environments where true convection air is beneficial.

The Best Dryers Are Digitally Controlled

The Digi-Star Elite uses electronic controls for precise temperature regulation, saving approximately 25% on electricity costs. Lawson’s proprietary heating panels eliminate “dead time” during on-off cycles, reducing power consumption and utility demand surcharges. Unlike other dryers with heat fluctuations that may scorch sensitive garments like polyester, the Digi-Star Elite ensures stable curing.

Simple Maintenance

Engineered for simplicity, the heat chamber is fully accessible without tools or wiring adjustments, making maintenance easy and hassle-free, which extends the dryer’s lifespan.

Trade-In/Trade-Up Program

As with all Lawson equipment, the Digi-Star Elite is part of Lawson’s Trade-In, Trade-Up program, ensuring you never outgrow your dryer. This unit delivers professional-grade results for properly cured DTG garments, plastisol, and water-based inks.
