The Pinnacle of Flat-Bed Printing
Screenotex's most sophisticated flat-bed screen printing machine — a fully servo-driven, maximum-automation platform engineered for the highest demands of production accuracy, color depth, and uptime. Built on the SE-3 platform with hard bed technology and closed-loop motion control.
The Optima's servo-driven architecture eliminates mechanical variability at every stage — from infeed to screen lifting — ensuring consistent print quality across every metre of every run, at any color count up to 42.
A redundant double-servo drive system with closed-loop motion control and encoder feedback ensures perfect synchronisation between printing heads and fabric advance at all production speeds — eliminating repeat errors and colour misregistration.
Each printing head is individually servo-driven with perfect synchronisation across all heads simultaneously — critical for multi-colour jobs requiring sub-millimetre repeat accuracy across the full table length.
Servo-controlled screen lift mechanism provides precise, repeatable lift height and speed for every colour station — preventing ink drag at high speeds and maintaining clean, sharp edge definition on every print.
A servo-driven Dyna Roll in the advanced infeed system maintains constant fabric tension and precise advance length — the foundation of repeat accuracy at 1440 m/hr and across all fabric types including stretch and lightweight constructions.
The fabric centering device can be configured with a single or dual slat arrangement to suit different fabric constructions and production requirements — ensuring perfect edge alignment entering the print zone at all speeds.
A sophisticated touchscreen HMI provides complete operational control — job setup, speed, pressure, register, diagnostics, and production data — from a single operator interface. Reduces dependency on skilled manual adjustment and captures production intelligence.
A sophisticated anti-vibration structural design dampens operational vibrations that would otherwise reduce print sharpness at high speeds. Critical on long table configurations where vibration transmission over 76 metres would degrade registration accuracy.
The Optima can be configured for up to 42 simultaneous print colours on a single table — the highest colour count available on the Screenotex flat-bed range, enabling the most complex design repeat constructions in a single pass.
The Optima's combination of servo tension control, hard bed technology, and configurable infeed makes it compatible with all fabric constructions — from heavyweight canvas to lightweight chiffon and stretch jersey — without mechanical adjustment between jobs.
The Optima's printing platform uses a rigid hard bed surface combined with a soft rubber squeegee at precisely controlled, adjustable pressure. This combination delivers sharper colour definition, higher ink penetration depth, and more consistent levelling than conventional printing surfaces — across every colour, every print, at full production speed.
Every automation feature on the Optima translates directly into lower cost-per-metre, higher uptime, and consistent print quality that opens higher-value market segments to your business.
Servo synchronisation across all axes — heads, lift, infeed, advance — delivers registration accuracy that mechanical systems cannot match, even on complex 40+ colour jobs.
Hard bed technology with soft rubber squeegee and adjustable pressure produces visibly sharper colour edges and higher ink depth compared to conventional soft-bed printing systems.
Servo systems with closed-loop feedback and no mechanical linkages between stations dramatically reduce wear parts and maintenance interventions over the machine's service life.
Redundant servo architecture and anti-vibration structure combined with HMI diagnostics enable predictive maintenance — intervening before failures occur rather than reacting to downtime.
With configurable up to 42 colours on a single table, the Optima opens design complexity that would require multiple machines or multiple passes on lesser platforms.
Table length up to 76 m, print width up to 2100 mm, single or dual slat centering, configurable colour count — the Optima is sized and configured to your exact production requirement.
Touchscreen HMI control for all operating parameters reduces reliance on highly skilled manual operators and enables consistent job setup — shift after shift, operator after operator.
From delicate chiffon to heavyweight canvas and stretch jersey — the Optima's servo tension management and hard bed platform handle every fabric type without mechanical changeovers.
