The pad printing and silk screen precision film output machine is a device that provides high-precision film output for pad printing and silk screen processes.
1. Structural composition
1）. Data processing system
• Includes a computer interface and an image processor. The computer interface is used to receive image files from external design software (such as Photoshop, CorelDRAW, etc.), and the image processor parses and processes these files. It can convert the designed pad printing or silk screen pattern files into a format that can be recognized by the film output machine, and can perform color correction, resolution adjustment and other operations on the image to ensure that the quality of the output film meets the requirements of precision printing.
2）. Exposure system
• Light source: Usually a high-precision ultraviolet (UV) light source is used. This light source can provide stable and appropriate intensity light to ensure uniformity and accuracy of exposure. The wavelength of the light source is generally screened to match the photosensitive properties of the film photosensitive material to achieve the best exposure effect.
• Optical system: It consists of high-quality lenses and reflectors. The lens has a high resolution and can accurately project the image onto the film. The reflector is used to adjust the light path to ensure that the light can be evenly irradiated in every corner of the film. The optical system is designed to reduce image distortion and blur, and ensure that the pattern on the film is clear and accurate.
3）. Film conveying system
• Film reel: used to place unexposed film and receive exposed film. The rotation of the reel is driven by a high-precision motor, which can accurately control the conveying speed and position of the film. During the conveying process, the film can remain flat to avoid wrinkles or offsets that affect the exposure quality.
• Tension control system: Through sensors and adjustment devices, the tension during the film conveying process is monitored and adjusted in real time. Appropriate tension can ensure that the film is well fitted with the optical system during exposure to prevent uneven exposure.
4）. Body and shell
• The body is generally made of metal to provide a stable support structure. The shell has good sealing properties to prevent external light from entering and avoid interference with the film during exposure. At the same time, the shell is also equipped with an operation panel and a display screen to facilitate users to set parameters and monitor the status of the equipment.
2. Working Principle
First, the designed pad printing or silk screen pattern file is transmitted to the data processing system through the computer interface. After the data processing system processes the image, the exposure system is started. Driven by the film conveying system, the unexposed film passes through the exposure area at a precise speed and position. In the exposure area, the light emitted by the light source is projected onto the film through the optical system, so that the photosensitive material on the film reacts to the exposure according to the image information. After the exposure is completed, the film is conveyed to the reel for storage, completing the film output process.
3. Features and Advantages
1） High-precision output
• With its precise optical system and stable data processing system, it can output films with high resolution and clear patterns. For the fine patterns, tiny texts and complex lines in pad printing and silk screen printing processes, they can be accurately presented on the film to ensure the high quality of the printed pattern.
2） Miniaturized design
• This equipment is small in size and occupies less space, making it suitable for small printing studios or places with limited space. At the same time, the miniaturized design also facilitates the movement and installation of the equipment, increasing the flexibility of the equipment.
3） Strong specialization
• Designed specifically for pad printing and screen printing processes, it can well meet the special requirements of these two printing methods for film. For example, it can output film patterns suitable for pad printing rubber heads and screen printing screens of different shapes and sizes, improving the adaptability of printed patterns.
4） Easy to operate
• The equipment is usually equipped with an intuitive operation panel and an easy-to-understand software interface, allowing users to easily set parameters such as exposure time, film transmission speed, etc. Even non-professional technicians can operate the equipment proficiently after simple training.

Application︰
Most printing processes require printing plates, especially in the field of special printing, such as pad printing, screen printing, hot stamping, flexo printing, offset printing, and gravure printing. Some printing processes with higher technical barriers are developing towards computer direct platemaking technology (CTP), that is, using computer control to directly output the design draft stored in the computer to the printing plate to form a printing plate. Offset printing, flexo printing, and screen printing are relatively mature. Some printing processes with lower technical barriers still follow the traditional platemaking process. First, the image and text are output to the platemaking film, and then the platemaking film is used to cover the printing plate to make the printing plate. Pad printing, screen printing, and hot stamping still retain this process. The platemaking film becomes a film, which is formed by coating a photosensitive layer on a PET film. The transparent area of the platemaking film will transmit ultraviolet light, and the non-transparent area will block light. The photosensitive layer will solidify in the area that transmits ultraviolet light, and the photosensitive layer will not solidify in the area that does not transmit ultraviolet light, and will be washed away during development and washing. Most pad printers, screen printers, and hot stamping machine operators are small-scale investors with meager profits, and may not be willing to buy expensive laser phototypesetters. However, the KC series laser phototypesetters are inexpensive, have moderate accuracy, and are easy to operate. They usually recover their costs in about three months. If you are engaged in pad printers, screen printers, and hot stamping machine processing business, or provide film output and plate making business for other printing factories, you can consider the KC brand laser phototypesetter.
Advantages︰
The traditional plate-making process requires the use of printing negatives attached to the photosensitive rubber surface of the printing plate for exposure, forming graphic and non-graphic areas, which are the basic structure of all printing plates. Due to the cumbersome and complex process, offset printing, flexo printing, and gravure printing are all developing in the direction of CTP, trying to get rid of the dependence of platemaking technology on printing negatives. However, in the fields of pad printing, silk screen printing and some low-cost printing, the profit margin is still difficult to support the expensive price of CTP technology. Therefore, the production of printing negatives is still a very important link. Making plate negatives is actually similar to the process of developing a camera after taking pictures. In the printing field, this link is completed by a laser phototypesetter. The laser phototypesetter can control the design information in the computer through the movement of the laser head on the film through computer control. Exposure is generated, and then the text area and the transparent area are formed through the development of the developer and the fixation of the fixer. This is the plate negative, which can be used to make pad printing plates and screen printing plates. Laser imagesetters can meet the requirements for pad printing, silk screen printing and less demanding offset printing and flexo printing involving both positive and negative films.
