QUIKMASK PHOTOSENSITIVE MASK PROCESSOR FOR SANDBLASTING
The popular method of producing etched or sandblasted designs on glass is to use a photo-imaged mask.
A computer design is transferred to the mask film, which is
then applied to the glass before sandblasting.
Note - this system is not suitable for use with etching creams
The Quikmask system have been especially designed to produce in-house ultra-violet sensitive film mask simply, quickly and to a consistently high standard. The mask is then applied to the object to be sandblasted e.g. Glass, Marble etc., using a low tack spray adhesive allowing the original artwork pattern to be created on the object.

QUIKMASK STENCIL KIT PROCESSING SEQUENCE
|
1. Artwork production A computer generated artwork is printed via an Epson inkjet printer on Jetstar or via a Laser printer on LaserStar. 2. U.V. Exposure The artwork and a piece of Quikmask film is exposed to U.V. light in the LV202-E exposure unit 3. Developing The artwork is placed on the special low voltage illuminated light box. The angled processing tray with water reservoir is placed on top of the light box. The exposed Quikmask film is then developed with a sponge and water. With the original artwork under the tray accurate reproduction is easy. 4. Drying The quikmask film is then placed in the drying cabinet or a hair dryer can be used. 5. Spraying with Adhesive When completely dry the film is sprayed with an adhesive for positioning on the glass. 6. Mask positioned on the glass With the mask in position on the glass, the top part of the film, the clear protective overlay, is removed 7. Masking Tape The edges of the glass are then protected from inadvertent sand-blasting with masking tape. 8. Sandblasting The glass is then blasted with a sandblaster not supplied by Mega. 9. Finished Glass After blasting the unwanted Quikmask film is removed with water and the finished glass cleaned. |
