Auto & Manual Screen Coaters

Consistent stencil quality on press starts with an even emulsion deposit in the darkroom. Uneven coats create exposure headaches, pinholes, and premature stencil breakdown during production runs. Securing your screen frames with dedicated automatic and manual coating equipment takes the struggle out of prepress, giving you flat, repeatable emulsion-over-mesh deposits across every single screen.

For manual darkroom setups:

Baselayr Wall Mounted Screen Coating Rack locks standard and custom frames from 6 to 36 inches rigid against the wall. Its heavy-duty toggle clamp eliminates springy pushback, while the built-in shelf keeps your scoop coater clean and within reach.

When you are ready to automate and increase production speed:

SAATI ProCoat Mini Automatic Screen Coater: A compact, single-screen coater running on 110V power and standard shop air. Programmable touchscreen controls and a servo-driven carriage deliver flat, repeatable deposits for standard frame sizes up to 28x40 inches.

SAATI ProCoat Dual Screen Auto Coater: Designed for high-volume shops, this system coats two screens simultaneously to double darkroom output. Hands-free foot pedal clamping streamlines loading and keeps large print jobs moving smoothly.

Upgrade your darkroom coating equipment to build durable stencils that hold crisp halftone detail from the first print to the last.
