- Stable water-based custom apparel printing starts with stable conditions
- Screen print T-shirts in hot, dry environments with confidence
The ROQ FOG nebulizer system is designed to help screen printers maintain stable water-based printing conditions in hot and dry production environments, where premature ink drying on the screen can lead to print defects, production interruptions, and inconsistent results across production runs.
Integrated directly into the screen-printing press, ROQ FOG creates a controlled humidity zone around each print station through adjustable mist nozzles positioned at every print head. By maintaining localized humidity where it is needed most, the system helps reduce premature water evaporation from the ink, keeping screens open and supporting consistent print performance throughout the entire production run.
Control the screen-printing environment, improve results
In hot and low-humidity environments, water-based inks can dry rapidly in the mesh, restricting ink transfer and compromising print definition. ROQ FOG helps maintain stable screen conditions throughout production, reducing mesh drying and improving ink release, resulting in sharper detail reproduction, more consistent ink deposit, and fewer production interruptions for screen cleaning or recovery processes.
Humidity output can be adjusted according to mesh count, ink system, production speed, and ambient conditions, enabling your team to optimize the printing environment for each specific application. This level of control helps improve process stability and repeatability, particularly during long production runs where maintaining consistent water-based ink performance can be challenging.
ROQ FOG integrates with multiple screen-printing press configurations
ROQ FOG is available for both ROQ oval and circular screen-printing presses and is supplied with a dedicated water treatment station equipped with a UV filtration system. This ensures consistent water quality, reduces maintenance requirements, and supports reliable long-term operation of the humidification system. For more information, go to roqinternational.com.
