Tetko Dual Edge Coater 16"

The 16" Tetko Dual Edge Coater is a professional-quality aluminum scoop coater designed to produce smooth, consistent emulsion coatings for high-quality stencil creation. Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, it provides excellent control and balance during coating, making it ideal for both manual and production darkroom environments.

Featuring a dual-edge design, the coater offers two coating profiles in one tool. The rounded edge deposits a heavier layer of emulsion, making it ideal for lower mesh counts, specialty printing, and applications requiring increased stencil thickness. The sharp edge applies a thinner, more controlled coat that is well suited for higher mesh counts, fine detail, halftones, and precision graphic printing.

The 16-inch width is commonly recommended for 20" × 24" outside dimension screens, providing excellent coverage while maintaining control during coating. Its rigid aluminum construction resists bending and twisting, helping produce uniform stencil thickness from edge to edge for consistent exposure and print quality.

Designed with removable protective end caps and a protective dust cover, the Tetko Dual Edge Coater helps protect its precision-machined coating edges during storage and transport. The coater also stands upright between coating passes, helping keep work surfaces clean and reducing contamination in the darkroom.

Whether producing textile, graphic, industrial, or specialty screens, the 16" Tetko Dual Edge Coater delivers the consistency and control required for reliable stencil production and repeatable printing results.
