As this is a modern addition to the printer's equipment/service I think an automatic unit is more likely than a washing booth for manual washing. However, this may not be the case for (manual) screen printing.

Bedankt Roel en John voor jullie suggesties. Ik heb in dit geval voor de wat algemenere term 'units' gekozen.

Washout booths


Explanation:
In the printing industry, you use washout booths in the process of preparing and/or cleaning materials after printing. Probably 'uitwasser' is a word used in the business. I have also found the more common word 'spoelbak' in this context.
