GOCCOPRO QS2536
The GOCCOPRO QS2536 is RISO's flagship digital screen maker. It turns your computer artwork into a print-ready screen in about 200 seconds, with no film, no emulsion, no darkroom and no washout. It images at 600 × 1200 dpi across a full 18 × 30 in. image area, and its 3-point registration system locks each screen in place, so multi-color jobs line up on press with far less adjusting.
For shops that burn a lot of screens, it saves time, floor space, water and chemicals, and every screen comes out the same from the same file.

Why the QS2536
- No darkroom or chemicals: Screens are made with heat, so there's no emulsion to coat, no exposure unit and no washout booth.
- Photo-quality detail: 600 × 1200 dpi imaging (1,200 × 1,200 dpi perforation density) holds fine halftones, gradients and small text.
- Tight registration: Screens lock into the machine at the same three points every time, which makes multi-color and simulated-process work faster to register on press.
- Largest image area in the lineup: Up to 17.99 × 29.88 in., on frames up to 25 × 36 in.
- Fast and repeatable: About 200 seconds for a full A2 image. Every screen made from the same file comes out the same.
- 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.
- Space-saving: One machine on a sturdy table replaces the darkroom, exposure unit and washout area.
Who it's for
- Contract and production apparel shops burning many screens a day who want to cut pre-press labor.
- Shops doing multi-color and photographic work, where registration and fine detail matter most.
- Shops replacing a darkroom to reclaim space, water and chemical costs.
- Industrial and promotional printers marking panels, parts and products.

How it works
- Design your artwork in your usual software and print it to the QS2536.

- Image: the thermal head burns your design into the mesh in about 200 seconds.
- Print: take the screen straight to press. There's nothing to dry or wash out.
