SX Specifications
The SX is the over/under in-line multicolor printer (U.S. Patent #6,230,876): vacuum tables print across the top chain and return underneath, so a six-color machine takes the floor space of a much smaller line — with ±.001″ registration at every station.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Substrate / print area | Vacuum tables sized to your work — a 26″×40″-table machine, for example, handles 24″ × 38″ substrates with a 24″ × 36″ print area; larger configurations available |
| Max screen frame | 54″ × 36″ (1372 × 915 mm) |
| Cycle speed | Multicolor cycles as fast as four to five seconds, depending on format, print speed, and cure speed |
| UV curing control | Tri-power UV (400/300/200 WPI) or LED curing — your choice · mechanically adjustable focal point · indexing cure speed set at the control panel |
| Utilities | 8 CFM at 80 PSI (550 kPa) · printer 208 VAC 60 Hz (other voltages available) · UV curing 208 VAC 1-phase 75 A per UV station |
| Shipping weight | Approx. 8,200 lb (3,720 kg) — ships via air-ride padded van, no crating required |
| Expandability | Additional print stations bolt in (up to six colors) · pre-wiring and plumbing for future stations available · stations can be configured for corona treating, vision inspection, or secondary operations |
| Clean operation | Class 100 clean room compatible (option) · all pneumatic exhausts piped to a common tube for venting outside the room |
| Typical delivery | About 16 weeks |
Specifications based on the two-color, 26″×40″-table machine and may vary with configuration.
Why the Over/Under Design Wins
- Half the footprint — tables print across the top and return on the lower chain, so multicolor capacity doesn't mean a machine the length of your building.
- Lamps that last — the UV shutter escapement keeps lamps running continuously and delivers light only when a part is under them: longer lamp life, less heat into the substrate, less UV exposure around the machine.
- Print the exact quantity ordered — every color prints and cures in one pass, so there's no printing extras in anticipation of misprinting a later color.
- Sheet stock, hands off — the automatic loader/unloader adds a part elevator, pick-and-place loading, a pre-registration table, and a stacking elevator on the exit.
- Award-winning printer modules — built on the same modular printers behind Golden Image Award-winning work, with thousands in operation worldwide. See the sliding-table family: SST and Sliding Table Printer.

Pretreatment
Your product surface may require pretreatment to promote ink adhesion. Products ordered in bulk may have oil contaminants or other residue as well as having poor surface tension, which can be remedied by flame pretreatment. Pretreatment integration is done by installing a burner on your machine that will provide flame to your entire surface area. If your product is cylindrical, it will spin 360 degrees, parallel with the burner and if it is flat, the flame system will move to cover your product area. Burners are made in house and to size. Pretreatment is done prior to printing your product.
