M&R's i-Image STE is the world's first all-in-one computer-to-screen (CTS) imaging and UV LED exposure system (patents pending). By combining CTS imaging and UV LED screen exposure in one machine, M&R has dramatically reduced the time and effort required to prepare images for screen printing. On the inward pass, i-Image STE uses specially-formulated water-based UV-blocking ink and advanced high-resolution CTS inkjet printer technology to quickly generate opaque images on emulsion-coated screens. On the outward pass, the built-in high-output scanning UV LED light source exposes the emulsion, producing screens that can be taken directly to washout. CTS images are superior to traditional film positives, delivering greater detail and smoother halftone transitions. i-Image STE eliminates the need for costly film positives, as well as the space and labor required to store and retrieve them. Because the image information is digital, it's easy to store and quick to retrieve.

i-Image STE's onboard UV LED exposure system streamlines workflow and increases productivity, delivering fast, superior exposures with exponentially lower energy costs. Not only do UV LEDs use far less energy, they're only on during the exposure process. M&R's UV LEDs run cooler, save energy costs, reduce screen exposure time, and speed up production. And, unlike expensive metal-halide bulbs that require replacement every year or two, i-Image STE's UV LED light source can last for decades. In fact, M&R is so confident in the longevity of i-Image's screen-exposure LEDs that it backs them with a limited lifetime warranty against failure in normal use. The i-Image STE computer-to-screen imaging & exposure system includes computer, monitor, and M&R's proprietary software. By providing complete control of print and exposure parameters, the software ensures high-quality screen images at production-level speed. It provides full image scaling and positioning, has 16-exposure presets for common applications, and can be user-customized for specific art types, various mesh counts, and types of emulsion.

i-Image STE is available in two sizes and three printhead configurations. i-Image STE 36 models process image areas up to 51 x 58 cm (20" x 23") and accept most screen frames up to 66 x 91 cm (26" x 36"). i-Image STE 43 models process image areas up to 51 x 76 cm (20" x 30") and accept most screen frames in sizes up to 66 x 109 cm (26" x 43"). Both i-Image STE 36 and i-Image STE 43 are available with one, two, or three industrial printheads. One-printhead models can image and expose up to 150 screens per 8-hour shift; two-printhead models can image and expose up to 250 screens per shift; and three-printhead models can image and expose up to 350 screens per shift. In fact, three-printhead models can generate full-size images in less than a minute (Note: some emulsions may extend the time required for the outward pass). All i-Image STE units are designed to fit through an 81 cm (32") doorway. M&R's i-Image STE all-in-one computer-to-screen (CTS) imaging and UV LED exposure system will revolutionize your screen room. Once you've experienced M&R's i-Image STE, you won't be satisfied with anything less.

i-Image STE II has all the imaging and exposure features and capabilities of i-Image STE but adds a secondary UV LED light source after the inward pass for ultra-fast exposures (patents pending). The secondary light source dramatically accelerates the exposure of slow-acting emulsions. i-Image STE II can be used with either exposure method, with both exposure methods in the same imaging/exposure cycle, or without exposure.
