Lawson Screen & Digital Products, St. Louis, recently announced it has won the Printing United (formerly SGIA) Product of the Year Award for 2020 for its Digi-Star Elite conveyor dryer.
It was recognized as the Best Screen Printing Conveyor Dryer.
Lawson beat out more than 200 entries across all categories to claim its victory over one of the largest field of competitors in the awards program’s history, that included the best of screen printing and direct-to-garment (DTG) machines and equipment, according to the company.
“We are honored by Printing United recognizing the Lawson Digi-Star Elite Conveyor dryer as the industry’s best and most advanced conveyor dryer,” says Taylor Landesman, vice-president of Lawson Screen & Digital Products. “The Lawson Digi-Star Elite is a pioneer of ‘smart curing’ technology for both Screen Printing and direct-to-garment (DTG). We are already seeing wide adoption of the Digi-Star Elite in print shops big and small, and among traditional analog screen printing and DTG.”
The Digi-Star Elite features a large, information-rich color touch screen control panel. The WiFi enabled control panel allows the production manager and owner(s) to monitor, and even change, dryer settings remotely.
With state-of-the-art SCR heating panels, the Digi-Star Elite is the only conveyor drying tunnel that regulates the incoming electrical current and voltage for absolute temperature control, according to the company. — D.S.
