SGIA '04 in Minneapolis was a tremendous success for Fineline who introduced the CST range of Direct-To-Screen imaging technologies. Besides CST's WaxJet and InkJet DTS systems, the talk of the show was the new Digital Light Processing Image Setter DLE that was exhibited on Fineline's booth. The premier showing of this revolutionary screen making process in North America attracted interest of screenprinters from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia and the Far East who expressed their surprise of the system's design simplicity, open architecture and operator convenience. Order commitments received for very large, vertical DLE systems (98" x 157" and 98" x 216") will result in first U.S. deliveries and installations in February/March 2005. DLE systems from CST are presently available from 40" x 40" to 13' x 26' with resolutions of either 65 or 90 lpi and imaging speeds from 200 to 500 sq.ft./hr
