Unboxing Video to help see what is included.
Can't wait to see your art on screen!
Shipping/packaging was awesome! Just starting out- but I wanted to skip the hassle, time & waste of money using a cheap light, etc. Great price point for starting out and looks to be of awesome quality also! Will last a long time.
Glad you like the unit!
I love the unit. A bit confused as if the glass is supposed to sit on top of the whole thing or do I unscrew the unit and place inside… Also would’ve been nice to have some directions or an exposure chart.
Hey there the glass sits on top. As for exposure times that depends on the emulsion you are using. Give us a call, we'd be happy to assist you!
Excellent item. Used straight out of the box. Nothing complicated. Shipping was 👍�. No complaints.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! That's rad to hear that your order went off with out a hitch - that's what we aim for! Happy Printing!
The exposure unit is a huge improvement over using a UV bulb. This unit brought my exposure times down from 12 minutes to 2 minutes 20 seconds and produced much better detail in my screens.
Hey Don, Amazing! Glad you took your shop to the next level! Be sure to tag us on some of your work!

LED bulbs are the new standard for exposure units. Their spectrum of light output and wattage speeds up the screen-making process and improves the quality of the stencil. With the X1620 LED Exposure Unit, printers will see incredible results at an entry-level price.
The X1620 uses the same high output LED bulbs manufactured specifically for exposure units. These LED bulbs output the same optimal UV wavelength (405nm), which can be used on all types of emulsion. LED bulbs will last more than 10,000 hours, which is better for the printer and the environment.
The optically clear glass in the X1620 lets more than 99% of the UV light through without disruption to the wavelength. The exposure unit will burn screens faster compared to spiral UV bulbs. With a dialed-in darkroom and screens that have been coated and dried properly, printers can push more detail resolution compared to traditional UV bulbs. The X-Series are designed to perform.
The X1620 is a compression exposure unit. To get the best results, proper compression is key. Once the screen and foam pad are in place, put a piece of plywood to help evenly disperse the weight across the entire screen for optimal detail development. Put weight on top, like a gallon of white ink. Do not exceed 30 lbs.
When you’re learning to coat screens and dial in your darkroom, an emulsion like Baselayr Long Lasting would work best. If your darkroom is light-safe, dry, warm; you’ve perfected your techniques of coating and drying screens; and you’ve nailed compressing the screen properly, it is possible to use pre-sensitized emulsions like Baselayr Complete or Baselayr Plastisol.
Everything starts and ends in the darkroom. Build a solid foundation from the screen up with the X1620 today.
