Anyone use the function Step-Back. We have used it a couple of times but not much.

I was always curious if this mode is faster then a print flash print with the flashback.

We have used it only a few times.  It’s an incredibly slow mode.  Only benefit we found is that if you have a print color after your flash (we run Flashbacks) it flashes that color by default when it prints the second hit of the color before the flash (assumed White).

Hey Scott,

Is it faster to print flash print with the flashback? Do you have any issues with burning the screen on s-thread mesh?

Yes. And Orbital table up mode is faster than PFP with the Flashback. Somewhere I have notes on all of that. We run 99% of the time with our Flashbacks in table up mode.

We don’t have any issues with S-mesh.  But not all our screens are S-mesh.

Awesome, thanks! I run my flashback on head 2 in table up mode and use it as a standalone flash right now. I'm on pace to upgrade to a Sabre in either 2018 or early 2019 depending on when we move to a new location.
