Why choose the ROQ CTS?
The ROQ CTS (Computer-to-Screen) is an advanced digital exposure system that completely eliminates the need for film positives. Equipped with industrial Ricoh Gen5 print heads (7 picoliter), the CTS prints the design directly with UV-blocking wax or ink on the emulsion layer of the screen frame and illuminates it inline with powerful UV LEDs. This ensures razor-sharp details (up to 2400 dpi) and perfect registration.
