The company has partnered with key industry suppliers, including MagnaColours, Inpro Holland, Exile Technologies and Ink Cups Tagless, and also offers a range of Matrix- manufactured products, such as LED exposure units, washout booths and drying cabinets. The Inpro Holland automatic screen reclaim systems offer high output and fast return-on-investment for any size print shops, says Matrix Inks. “Its Tiger Clean Series is fully customisable depending on your print shop, and we can add in extra modules later to expand the system — before purchase, we also test the users’ inks to provide a fully compatible chemical to ensure a quality output each time. “Inpro has designed the Tiger Clean series to be user-friendly to operate and simple to maintain, while the advanced chemical recycling system prolongs maximum yield, therefore reducing the cost of each screen.” Ideal for fine line work and highlighting halftones, the Inpro TigerClean Combi- Eco can be partnered with the Exile V-Lux Exposure Unit. “Simply place the screen in the V-Lux, and it follows automatically onto the feeder belt into the Combi-Eco’s high- pressure rinse. “It can also be used as a high-pressure washout system when partnered with a dip tank with a simple turn of a valve to further automate your screen room.” Powered by MagnaColours, the AquaMix pre-mixed range of water- based screen printing inks and ancillary products is also exclusively available to Matrix Inks. “Our on-site automatic mixing systems allow for low-cost and accurate colour matching available for next day delivery, which can be ordered directly from our website.” The Matrix technical team supports its products across the UK and Ireland from a new office and demonstration centre in Plymouth. I-Sub: Roq Eco The Roq Eco provides accurate, reliable and high speed printing, thanks to its AC servo motor rotation, reports I-Sub. The press is available in configurations from six to 18 print heads, with print areas from 48cm to 63cm to 80cm x 110cm. All print heads on the Roq Eco are independent, allowing the operator to remove the screens away from the warm pallets to prevent them from drying – “this is extremely useful when printing with water-based inks”, I-Sub advises. Each print head offers a full digital display to give the operator maximum control to make adjustments on the fly. All Roq accessories, such as flash units, iron, foil and flock, can also be placed under any print head. The Roq Eco can be fitted with either U-clamp or pin systems to provide full compatibility with other screen printing presses, and offers an automatic screen registration system, which remembers your exact position for previous jobs. All Roq screen printing presses come with a two-year warranty. The Roq Eco comes in a range of configurations, from six up to 18 print heads The Inpro Tiger Clean Series is fully customisable depending on your print shop, says Matrix Inks
