The VectorGuard system offer space savings and ease with high repeatability, precise alignment and foil tension. It allows easy handling, is space-efficient, clean, compact and allows arrangement of stencil foils in an ordered fashion and the system can be recycled since the frames can be reused.
VectorGuard's high precision foil alignment and tensioning is completely automated ensuring that the mounting time is reduced to a few seconds. Enhanced rigidity makes it more convenient to fit, retrieve and tension the foil. Secure cassettes minimize storage space by at least 75% when compared to traditional stencils, and stencils from Photo stencil in VectorGuard frames are offered in a wide range of stencil thicknesses.
CEO and President, Neil MacRaild stated that Photo Stencil has been a licensed distributor of VectorGuard systems from DEK for more than six years. He added that the company has designed a wide variety of stencils in a VectorGuard foil. The advantages from proprietary techniques from Photo Stencil such as NiPlate include highly smooth aperture walls and high-quality paste release and NanoCoat ensures superior quality print deposit.
