Foils developed for large frameless stencils
DEK has extended its VectorGuard to 29" by 29" - a convenient new frameless foil system that is said to be set to revolutionize large format applications.
Large formats get frameless foil system
DEK has added large foils to its range of VectorGuard stencils, allowing customers to reduce changeover time and ease stencil handling and storage challenges in large image area applications.
The two products, AGCL-510 and AGCL-675C, are optimised for gravure/flexographic and screen printing and can also be used in pad printing.
The inks have excellent adhesion to polyester, polyimide, polycarbonate, vinyl, urethane and other plastic substrates, as well as silver filled printed ink traces.
They also have excellent crease resistance and surface hardness.

Low cost inspection microscope has autofocus
The Hi-Eye versatile video microscope is designed for inspection and assembly operations in electronics.
The AGCL-675C product is designed to optimise the electrode surface contact area for applications such as defibrillator pads by providing a rough, textured surface after drying.
Both inks can be custom blended in order to adjust resistance values to achieve the required level of electrical conductivity and to adjust the level of chloride to silver.
The solvent systems and rheology can also be adjusted to optimise the inks for different printing press configurations.
Custom formulations are also available for applications where an "off-the-shelf" product will not provide the performance required.
CCI already supplies product to manufacturers of FDA-approved equipment.
The company's support of the medical market builds on 12 years of worldwide experience in producing conductive and resistive inks and adhesives for membrane switches, EL panels, touch screens, RFID and cellphone antennas, EMI/RFI shielding and other rigid and flexible circuits for electromechanical assemblies.
CCI also manufactures UV curable encapsulants, sealants and dielectrics, thermal cured adhesives and potting materials, as well as radio opaque inks.
Its products are sold into medical, automotive, aerospace, military, consumer electronics, industrial electronics and appliance applications worldwide.
According to Don Banfield, Conductive Compounds founder and Product Manager: "Our objective is to become the provider of choice for manufacturers of diagnostic equipment that require biosensors or conductive materials for interface circuitry, such as membrane switches and keypads".
"We know that we have to be competitive to succeed, so we are offering aggressive pricing, custom product development, outstanding tech support and product shipping within 24 to 48 hours after an order is received".
Both AGCL-510 and AGCL-675C formulations are available immediately.
