4XTRON PS5 A4 Screen Printing Machine – Digital Screen Maker

4XTRON PS5 is a compact A4 screen printing machine. It uses digital thermal exposure to create screens in about 90 seconds, without darkroom or film. This makes screen making faster and cleaner for studios, schools and DIY creators.

What is the 4XTRON PS5?

The 4XTRON PS5 is a digital screen printing machine designed for educational institutions, DIY creators, and small studios.

Without the need for photosensitive emulsions, darkrooms, or processing rooms, the PS5 can directly transfer your designs from your computer to a pre-coated screen via USB. Creating an A4-sized screen typically takes only 90 seconds to 3 minutes, allowing you to complete the entire process from concept to printable screen in a single class, workshop, or production session.

The all-dry screen printing process means no darkrooms, no chemicals, and no wastewater treatment. This makes the PS5 particularly suitable for classrooms, home studios, and small production spaces where traditional screen printing equipment is unsuitable.

How the 4XTRON PS5 Works

Loading Your Design

Prepare your design on your Windows computer (BMP/PNG/JPG format or a 600 dpi bitmap exported from vector software), then send it to the PS5 as you would a regular print job.

Quick Screen Stretching

Screen stretching is achieved in seconds using a dedicated 4XTRON wooden frame and pre-coated screen. No special tools or professional skills are required.

Digital Screen Printing

Thermal perforation printheads transfer digital designs onto pre-coated screen masters in approximately 90 seconds—no emulsion coating, film positives, or washout step required for stencil making.

Print Your Designs

Mount the finished screen onto a printing press or frame, then print on materials such as T-shirts, tote bags, and art paper using water-based or plastisol inks as needed.

Suitable for:

Educational Institutions

Art courses, vocational training programs, and school workshops that require a clean and safe screen printing process without chemical handling or darkrooms.

DIY and Maker Communities

Craft clubs, small creative teams, and parent-child workshops looking to print custom T-shirts, tote bags, and cards through simple, repeatable steps.

Small Studios and Micro-Brands

Independent designers, small studios, and local brands handling small-batch and custom orders (typically 10-50 pieces) need to quickly and riskily sample test products before going into mass production.

If you often think, "I really want to do screen printing, but I don't have a darkroom or developing area," then the PS5 is perfect for you.

With its fast digital plate-making, streamlined workflow, and compact hardware, the 4XTRON PS5 brings professional screen printing capabilities to spaces where traditional equipment cannot be accommodated.

The screen making process has been completely streamlined for maximum efficiency.

The process is faster and more intuitive than traditional screen making,

with no special skills needed. Creating screens is as easy as pressing a button, just like using a printer.

Produces zero wastewater and is energy-efficient, saving electricity.

The process eliminates the need for emulsions or chemicals, reducing resin usage and removing the washout step,

which means no wastewater is produced. Additionally, with no film positives, exposure, or drying required, it lowers power consumption.

Operation times are reduced, helping to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO*).

It saves labor costs with its quick turnaround time compared to emulsion screen making, while its compact design reduces space requirements.
