NEW Screen Chocks...

Screen chocks hold your screen at any required angle when placing your paper in the registration stops. They eliminate the need to put a leg on each screen.

Two places left on my Giggleswick Summer School 2010...

see below.

Portable Exposure Unit/Light Table

The exposure unit is portable and moves easily on it's wheels. The robust construction means that transportation of the unit is worry free. As well as producing high quality screen printing stencils it can also be used for exposing photo etching, litho and flexo plates. There is also a separate bulb within the unit to use as a light box.

Unit size is: 97 x 63 x 63 cms.
