Private listings / Re: 6X6 CHAMELEON FOR SALE

I have my old 6 color with the arms off, shoved into a corner for "just in case". It's not in the way and I'm sure if I got rid of it
the auto would go down the next day.  ;D

Unfortunately there is a huge glut of used presses that are just near impossible to sell unless local pickup. I've got three in storage won't even bother posting.

If you were closer I would of bought it just for a backup.  We haven't had a manual press at the shop since 2014, but in the back of my mind I always wish we did.

Off to the scrap yard I guess. I know I'm an old timer, but it's sad to see there is ZERO interest in a press like this. I know the times have drastically changed over the last few years. I just didn't realize how much. I know, DTF is the way to go.

If you Are doing 3 four color Jobs of 75 pieces each I'd say that’s not bad at all. One would be too little, two and a half is probably where we are. Three is very doable, but not sure if you could do that all day every day.
Three would be 12 setups at 3 min per color for 36 min. Then 225 prints in 24 minutes.

On cotton we print white base 150, flash, roller and then 180 on top.
For blends we often use a grey barrier base and then 180 white on top.
Make this will solve your problem.

Maybe your expectation is to high >:( I know I've battle many times on some prints that printed great on the same screens with the same inks, and out of nowhere I set the job up again and it prints like crap, and low and behold the more I fool with it the worse it gets.  Then I just have to walk away come back later if not pressing for time it might be the next day and just print the job, I think we all chase our tails trying to be consistent so every job can be repeated at a drop of a dime...Just walk away Brad and come back later you'll get it right like you want it.

old bulbs in the flash? Maybe it's not properly gelling the base..... I'm assuming you tried a different shirt, like a ring spun vs g2000 garbage bag

Worst case, give it the ol' stink eye, yell at it, shake an angry fist at the clouds...always works here

We haven't changed anything that I can think of.  At first I thought it was ink related because it seemed to start on a new batch of ink, but we've changed to all different brands with zero luck.
