GOCCOPRO QS1836

• No darkroom or chemicals: Screens are made with heat, so there's no emulsion to coat, no exposure unit and no washout booth.
• Same detail as the flagship: The same thermal head as the QS2536, with 600 × 1200 dpi imaging and 1,200 × 1,200 dpi perforation density for fine halftones, gradients and small text.
• Accurate registration: Pre-stretched screen masters lock into place, so multi-color jobs line up on press.
• Full-size frames: Accepts frames up to 25 × 36 in., with an image area up to 13.78 × 29.88 in.
• Easy to learn: Print to it from your computer like any printer. Works with both Mac and Windows.
• Prints on almost anything: Fabric, plastic, glass, metal, cardboard and more.

• Apparel shops whose prints are mostly standard chest and full-front sizes.
• Shops replacing a darkroom to save space, water and chemical costs.
• Schools and print studios that want full-size frames and photo-quality screens.

Need a wider image? Compare all five RISO screen makers.

1. Design your artwork in your usual software and print it to the QS1836.
2. Mount a framed RISO screen master on the machine. It locks into place for registration.
3. Image: the thermal head burns your design into the mesh in about 200 seconds.
4. Print: take the screen straight to press. There's nothing to dry or wash out.
