If something fails with the competitor's system, fingers are always pointed toward the other vendor as the source of the problem. No special fire or liability insurance required. Other systems that clean at ambient temperature use hazardous solvents. All other aqueous systems require heat. Hot water creates water vapor that can contaminate the assembly area.
Stencils are heat sensitive.
Adhesives bonding the screen to the frame and metal etched foil are heat-cured and can debond if washed in hot water or dried with hot air. Smart Sonic's ambient process eliminates these problems. Other systems are constantly changing in an attempt to meet Smart Sonic's performance, safety and environmental standards. The same process has met all environmental, safety and cleaning standards since it's introduction in 1990. Other systems have required replacement or modification.
