| Utilities | 8 cfm at 80 psi (550 kPa) · 208 VAC 3-phase 60 Hz (international voltages available; final requirement depends on the UV power supply) |
| Max screen frame | 34″ long (in the squeegee-stroke direction) × 31″ wide — larger sizes available |
| Max image size | 26″ × 23″ — larger sizes available, including an extended 30″-stroke option |
| Off-contact (Z axis) | Hand-wheel adjustable — as close as .001″ (.025 mm) off the printing surface, with a range of several inches |
| Printing surface height | 40″ (1016 mm) on casters — adjustable 40–43″ on leveling pads |
| Vacuum table | Up to 24″ × 28″ — larger sizes available on the SST 20+ |
| Clean operation | Class 100 clean room compatible (option) · all pneumatic exhausts piped to a common tube for venting outside the room |
Specifications based on the two-color machine and may vary with configuration.
Why One Shared Cure Station Changes the Math
- Cure speed is one number — the operator enters feet-per-minute on the touch screen, and the servo table automatically decelerates to that exact speed under the cure unit and accelerates back after — precise exposure with zero programming.
- Print the exact quantity ordered — every color prints and cures in one cycle, so there's no printing extras in anticipation of misprinting a later color. Need extra opacity? Repeat the print/cure of the same color on the same part.
- Guarding operators don't fight — the safety light curtain freezes motion instead of faulting the machine; work resumes automatically when the beam clears, so nobody's tempted to defeat the guard.
- Award-winning platform — built from the same Model 810 printers behind SPAI Golden Image Award-winning prints on flat plastics and metals. See the sliding-table family: SX 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.
