The Model HLT screen printing machine has been developed for printing up to three inches deep into a plastic tray. The printed image can be as close as 1/8 inch (3mm) to the inside wall of the tray. According to the company, printing this close to a part edge and this deep into a part was thought to be impossible prior to this development. The screens are pre-registered to the master screen chase. Changeover from one size plastic part to the next is done while maintaining registration. Additionally, the image is pre-registered on the screens in relation to the stops for the various size plastic parts.
