Which exposure unit is best for a beginner?Updated 9 days ago

The X1620 LED Exposure Unit is an excellent choice for beginners and growing shops alike. Its compact footprint fits comfortably in most workspaces, while its powerful LED technology produces crisp, consistent exposures with exceptional detail. Compared to traditional UV spiral bulbs, the X1620 exposes screens 3–5 times faster and creates a more durable stencil, helping you achieve reliable results from the very first print. This exposure unit is built for 16"x20" screens but can also accommodate up to 20"x24" OD frames (note: larger frames may hang slightly over the edge).

When it comes to exposure units, choosing the least expensive option can often lead to inconsistent exposures, lost detail, and frustrating troubleshooting. A quality exposure unit eliminates much of that guesswork, saving you time, materials, and headaches. The X1620 delivers the performance, consistency, and long-term value that will help you produce better screens, and better prints, you'll be proud of.
