there is.. at the moment we've set it up to run 1 at a time, but it would take less than a minute to flip it over to run 2 at time.

my previous emulsion coating techniques were definitely wrong tho... now with a 2/2 and the proper speed, we're at a nice repeatable 16% EOM with PHU, and can go lower if necessary. (ran some 2/2's faster and got to 8% as well).

still doing more dialing.

Might I suggest a radical idea.  Photopolymer on squeegee side and a dual cure on the substrate side.  Try it.  You will be amazed at the results.

That sounds like a nightmare to dial in, but a really cool idea.

Not so much.  Very easy to do with an auto coater.

Correct.. you can choose between 1 or 2.  Or 1 huge screen if you have the troughs.
