HP Etch & DEK extends collaboration

The deal between DEK and HP Etch that now has been extended to include manufacturing of the VectorGuard stencils even includes cupboards for storing of the stencils. "HP Etch is currently manufacturing advanced stencils for DEK and it feels very stimulating that we now extend the cooperation by licensing DEK's VectorGuard-stencils for the entire Nordic, the Baltic, for Russia, Poland, Ukraine and Germany", HP Etch CEO Jan Kilén (picture) told evertiq. Apart from other mounting systems on the market the VectorGuard comes with a thin aluminium sheet metal to place on the stencil's edge. When the sheet metal later is attached in the lose frame a higher tension power can be used which offers a more level surface on the stencil.
