General Screen Printing / Stampinator for Manual presses?
« Last post by spencer_L&KC on March 27, 2024, 03:46:08 PM »
Has anyone tried the new Stampinator for manual presses? The company claims you can fully cure plastisol and water based prints with it, on press. They claim it can replace a conveyor dryer. Obviously there are some limitations, but still seems pretty great. Price is a bit steep though.

Anyone had a chance to work with one yet?

I assume you were able to get set up. How are you liking the dryer? What inks are you running through it?

thanks

General Screen Printing / Re: DTF and the future of screen printing

Interesting read here. One thing that I didn’t see mentioned with all the comparisons of DTF to DTG is the content of the substrate. Very limited in DTG; wide open for DTF. I see this as a huge deal - controlling color across a multitude of fabrics without worrying about dye sublimation or migration.

As a distributor for M&R, I can tell you the Quatro platform has been very successful since product launch in early Q4 last year. Shameless  plug but important in the world of cheap ink issues - all Quatro inks are manufactured for M&R by Nazdar at our facility in Kansas. The ability to be close to M&R physically and work with them constantly on the OEM inks is a huge advantage.

Ink and Chemicals / Matsui Mixing Software

at this point why are you still confused when people don't want your help? What good are you actively putting into our industry aside from just whining that no one wants your help?

As usual, your total lack of understanding about anything is shown by the messages you constantly put out.
That’s rich coming from a guy who just posted a 5+ min rant about how upset you are to be held accountable as a shitty employer.

I wasn’t confused until your post. I was pointing out that Matsui has solutions in front of them and ignores them. It doesn’t have to be me taking an hour to fix it for everyone. I thought it was just because they don’t give a crap, like I stated. Are you saying there’s more to it? Jesse was nothing but nice to me in person recently!

I’m aware that a lot of people in our industry think an idea is only good if it comes from their buddy. No confusion there. Pointing it out helps others see how others operate, but that’s not what I meant here.

Most companies in our industry are satisfied to settle with their current level of service.

You don’t see my “messaging”, you have me blocked on everything lol.

Equipment / looking for a wiring diagram for NuArc Tri-Light 42x60 3k watt
« Last post by Bearded Lady on March 23, 2024, 02:32:57 PM »
I'm looking for a wiring diagram for an M&R / NuArc Tri Light. 42x60 3kw OR better yet phone pictures of a couple of spots inside the guts of an intact unit. The base portion of mine suffered a couple of injuries when taking it apart and moving it recently and some wires pulled loose. I'm pretty sure I've figured out where they go but would like to be completely sure before I plug it in and turn it on again.

If it helps, all matsui colors are based off prints going through 110 screens, on white tees.
It would help if the ink company said this or showed what the ideal base on a dark shirt looks like.

Who prints a light shirts with a 110? It’s asinine.

It’s a nightmare and I’m sure some shop will come in here to defend it.

To make things more complex they have a formula list that is different from the site.

There is no mixing company that mixes all the Pantone colours for you. They rely on us to report issues and then update the software with the new formula.

Problem is some companies never update the software. They just let us make the same mistakes and the same colours over and over again.

I offered to connect their Google spreadsheet to an online calculator, and they ignored me.

The reality is that this isn’t the first company in our industry to ignore a solution. Some big shop they give special treatment to will show up here and say all the mixing systems suck and there’s too many variables to have a mixing system work for waterbased.

NICE!   Having it up on top is a far better way than my suggestion for controlling it.
