Fyfan! Sverige!

Hails to Sweden! Volker, glad you joined TSB. Love the Swedish Sabaton shirt. I will be back in Sweden for a bit next summer and have always wanted to visit Germany. I would be honored to buy you a pint or two and talk shop. And if you are ever in New Orleans the same offer stands.

5 colors into a 7 color bullet-proof nightmare on an 8 color Sportsman. That's right, 7 revolutions, no cooling station, crap screens, crap art, crap shirts.

Note: I just spin the press with what they hand me. I had NOTHING to do with the art or screens decisions for this.

I was in deep doubt about my future in this industry today.

 :P

No... it's worse.

Danny,  nice print as usual. Very clean.  The art and seps, superb.

I did a helmet recently. Art was pretty good. I don't think I put it on this forum. I'll post it later. Did 3 high school jobs last week. Those three came out fantastic, the pro team helmet, not so good. I used a new printer due to time issues and it didn't print Like i expected. Colors were off mostly. No attention to detail. I understand tho, it was a last minute job at the end of the day on a Friday. :(  you win some, you lose some.  I normally use Pierre but timing was not in our favor.

Evo,  maybe the customer was intending to get back to that time period of bullet proof printing for that "authentic" touch. ;)

If they wanted to go back that far, wouldn't it be a two part flocking ink?

Can you say what comes next? Curiosity is getting the better of me.

been to busy to post anything here, but we printed two today that I though looked OK. The gray shirt came out very, very nice with smooth blends and great detail. The art was of the internet, thus low res so it is not as crisp as it could be (it's a parody so it's OK to get it from the interwebs . . .). The black shirt has really nice pop. The blue in the chrome counters the red and yellow to make it very appealing.

4 colors for the gray shirt and 5 for the black shirt. 230 ubase and 305 on top. Everything at 55lpi. Both printed without a hitch, 75 pieces on the gray was set up and printed in an hour, 220 for the memorial ride in about an hour and a half; setup to teardown. Seps by DTD.
