Description

Vastex C-100 — Compact, Adjustable, Hands-Free Coating

Great prints start with an even coat of emulsion — and that starts with holding the screen still. The Vastex C-100 Manual Screen Coating Rack clamps your screen firmly at the coating angle so you can run the scoop coater with both hands, laying down a smooth, uniform coat every time. No more balancing a screen on your knee or against a table, no more slips or drips. It’s the simple, affordable way to coat consistently — and it mounts on the wall to save floor space.

Why You Need a Coating Rack

Coating a screen freehand is awkward and inconsistent. When you’re also holding the screen, it shifts and tips as you pull the coater — so the emulsion goes on uneven, with thin spots, heavy edges, drips and re-coats. That variability follows the screen all the way to press: exposure times drift, fine detail suffers, and stencils break down early. The C-100 fixes the root cause by holding the screen firmly in place, freeing both hands for one smooth, controlled pass. You get more even, repeatable coats, less wasted emulsion, less mess — and a faster, cleaner screen room.

Both hands on the coater

The rack holds the screen so you don’t have to. Two free hands mean smoother, straighter, more even scoop-coater passes — and no fumbling or dropped screens.

Repeatable results

A screen held at a consistent angle gets a consistent coat — the foundation of reliable exposures and sharp, clean prints, screen after screen.

Tool-free adjustments

Quick height and screen-length adjustments with no tools — set it for your frames in seconds and switch sizes on the fly.

Fits your screens

Handles all popular frame lengths from 23″ to 36″ — wood, aluminum or retensionable — up to 11 lb, with an optional spring-loaded clamp for extra stability.

Saves floor space

A wall-mount design with hardware included keeps your coating station off the floor. Prefer to roll it around? Add the optional freestanding or wheeled stand.

Built to last

Rigid carbon steel with a durable baked-on finish, plus a built-in shelf for your scoop coater. Lightweight at 20 lb or less and ships via UPS.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vastex C-100 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Vastex C-100?

It’s a manual screen coating rack. It holds your screen firmly at the coating angle so both hands are free to run the scoop coater, giving you smooth, even, repeatable coats of emulsion without screens slipping or dropping.

How does a coating rack improve my screens?

Coating freehand is inconsistent — the screen shifts while you pull the coater, so emulsion goes on unevenly. By holding the screen still, the C-100 lets you make one smooth, controlled pass for a consistent coat, which means more reliable exposures and sharper prints.

What screen sizes does it fit?

All popular frame lengths from 23″ to 36″ (23″, 28″, 31″ and 36″), in wood, aluminum or retensionable frames up to 11 lb.

Is it hands-free?

Yes — the whole point of the rack is to hold the screen so both of your hands are free for the scoop coater. An optional spring-loaded clamp adds extra frame stability.

Does it mount to a wall, or is there a stand?

It’s a wall-mount design and includes the mounting hardware to save floor space. An optional freestanding stand — with or without wheels — is available if you’d rather have it mobile.

How is the C-100 different from the C-1000?

The C-100 is the manual rack — it holds the screen while you coat by hand. The C-1000 is semi-automatic: a foot pedal lowers the screen at a set, motor-controlled speed for even more repeatability and higher volume. Both give you consistent coats; the C-100 is the affordable, no-electricity option.

Do I need to buy emulsion and a scoop coater separately?

Yes — you supply the emulsion and a scoop coater sized to your screens. We can help you match the right coater width and emulsion to your work.

What’s it made of and how does it ship?

Rigid carbon steel with a durable baked-on finish, with a built-in scoop-coater shelf. It weighs 20 lb or less and ships via UPS.

Is financing available?

Yes — you can apply for equipment financing to spread the cost of your pre-press equipment. Call (512) 454-0505 and we’ll help you get set up.
