Industrial CTS (Computer-to-Screen) Imaging System
The TE500 industrial CTS (Computer-to-Screen) imaging system is designed to directly print high-quality opaque gray images on emulsion-coated screens based on proven inkjet printing technology. As an advanced and cost-effective CTS imaging system in the current market, TE500 includes the robust, industrial TE500 inkjet printer, along with ColorPRINT RIP Software, Print Production Screen Software (PPS), and Printer Control Software (PCS).
As a digital imaging technology, TE500 removes the need of using, keeping and retrieving costly films, decreasing the overall cost of making a screen. TE500 also shortens screen burn time in half because of no waiting for vacuum drawdown and no glass to refract light. The potential for pinholes in traditional screen printing is virtually done away with. TE500 dramatically reduces the time and effort required for the screen preparation while delivering greater details and smoother halftone transitions.
TE500 is an ideal industrial CTS imaging system for screen printing industry, especially for T-shirt printing, industrial decoration printing, as well as bottle and cup printing.

Software
• ColorPRINT enables to generate screen .prt file and preset job properties, such as frequencies, angles and shapes of halftone dots.
• ColorPRINT offers screen size and image size settings, as well as print quality settings.

• PPS offers screen job preview, such as different color channel preview, magnified dot preview and mirror
preview, so that users can double check jobs before sending to print.
• PPS supports batching printing of two small size images on a large emulsion-coated screen to save materials
and time.
• Users can define templates of merging jobs in line with the actual screen sizes and image sizes.
• Screen printing critically demands the registration of multiple screens in the same job. Prt Merging helps users
to achieve precise screen registration for subsequent screen printing process.
• Users can freely match two color channels from two .prt jobs individually to merge according to the types of
emulsions and exposure time.
