Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Thanks all. Ordered some Saati PHU2 today and will start trying to get an exposure nailed on our 230 mesh.

We do, to get some crisper details, but ours is also an earlier model, and from what i understand, possibly not operating on the correct UV wavelength.However, with that being said, we are still able to image screens without an issue 95% of the time.

Even the ones with the bar vs the panel are the same wavelength.
We are still using Murakami SP-1400 for discharge. We have ST and the Starlight next to it, it's important to exposure right away after printing - wouldn't be an issue for you since it's an STE. Reason being the water based inkjet ink doesn't absorb at all so it pools and can get messy within a few minutes. Haven't had a problem with halftones if you expose right away though.
