Lawson Express-Jet/CTS
Lawson Express-Jet CTS Imaging System
Hi-Definition Screen Imaging for the Garment or Commercial Printer
The Lawson Express-Jet CTS (computer-to-screen) Imaging System includes a robust, industrial ink jet printer, along with the RIP software necessary to image any size screen up to 25” x 36” O.D. Lawson’s unique master frame carrier easily adjusts to fit all the standard frame sizes (20” x 24”, 20” x 28”, 23” x 31”, 25” x 36”) and any profile frame as well (square or roller).
The Lawson Express-Jet CTS is, perhaps, the easiest to use of all the ink jet imaging devices available in the marketplace. It is shipped fully assembled, and can be ready to print within hours after arrival in your shop.
By incorporating Ricoh Gen IV print head technology you can print halftones up to 85 line, select your dot shape, resolution and ink deposit. Black dye, with special UV inhibitors, ensures a dark, crisp image every time. Image quality is far superior to Epson-based film prints, or hot-wax devices that cannot deliver the small dot resolution the Express-Jet can.
