"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
QuoteI am pretty sure I had mentioned it in the thread about how they were printing in Portugal, but standard press configuration was 3 pallets per print head(like 30 station 10 color). That was probably just as standard as 2 pallets short of your print head count here(like a 10/12) is...That makes a lot of sense for plastisols or the HSA inks that may need a flash after each color but would actually be problematic for WOW discharge/WB as you would have dry time between the heads, even double indexing. Makes for the dreaded "zombie skin" buildup issues. I see a huge market for the digotex ovals for those applications that need a flash+cool after each color. I believe those free moving platens can index willy nilly and "hang out" or index slower. They could be set to print - flash - half index/hang for cool down then back onto print. Could reduce the monster footprint of a 30 station.

Here are a couple of new prints for trade shows this year. Sorry the pictures are a little blurry.
Thread seems dead again, lol...... Figured I would post this one up as it might not look like much but this one I'm pretty proud of considering it's some very solid colors(with tiny strings of detail beads on the bottom of design) that we printed with 1 revolution, 1 pass on all colors. These are the projects that I dread doing but I finally said screw it and wanted to go with a discharge base and was real happy with how it turned out. I know if I printed this with plastisol it would be minimum 3-4 flashes so pretty happy this was 1 revolution w/ 1 pass on each squeegee.... I'll post up some sim process stuff later or tomorrow for you guys
