Screen Making / Re: NEW Laser To Screen Coming Soon

Yep it’s faster, but not simpler. We are only really ganging when it’s the same colour of the same job, like another print location on the same job.

Gotta factor in that this looks like a smaller more entry level laser. That reclaim time doesn’t matter as much in a massive shop as in the average small one. I definitely see the value in ganging a screen to save the reclaim/etc!

I can’t imagine a shop that’s big enough to buy a 2-up is going to want to be flipping screens to save time on their auto reclaim.

We do that as well, color change just flip and triloc, and post expose for wb, no problem. The comment on press time (usually the most expensive aspect of any given shop) is spot on. So is Duanes on reclaim.

Imagine spending $100k+ on a laser and then being like I wanna save 40 cents in emulsion and use more tape so I can gang screens to "save money"

Time at the press is most important to save :)

saves time in reclaim - one less screen...  we have 6 presses and never enough screens. 

if there is a color change with the same art - i will put two of the same art on the same screen - the press op dosent have to stop and clean out the screen, just scrape ink out, turn the screen around and new ink and squeegee and they are back up and running. no need to clean and pull tape off registration marks.

What's the word on fully cross linking the emulsion for a diazo??? I know when I REALLY push the other laser sales guys at trade shows, when I don't back down and ask them to provide some kind of guarantee we won't see breakdown, they finally admit they don't fully cross link the emulsion. Not a issue if you print plastisol, for us it is a huge issue and honestly, pretty disappointing.

With  the Saati unit, it works fine, as long as it's post exposed. If it's not you'll see premature breakdown.
