Title: Starlight Demo in your shop?
Post by: RonH on August 07, 2014, 06:37:50 PM
There is a lot of talk about LED light sources and for good reason.  I know many of you are thinking about LED units and wondering how it would work for you in your shop.  I live in the Southeast area and thought this might be a good place to start a project that will hopefully move around the country.  So to begin with, I want to know if any of you that have shops in the Southeast would be interested in a personal demo in your shop. I would bring one of our Starlight units into your shop so you could expose some of your screens, with your emulsions under your conditions.  This way you can get your own comparison to see the quality and speed of the Starlight unit, without relying on numbers from other shops.  If you are interested you can reply on here and/or PM me with how to get into contact with you to set something up, or you can call me at either of my numbers listed below.

no need to bring the unit, just stop by my shop and lets dial in some numbers.

Additionally if anyone is in our area, feel free to come take our starlight for a test drive.  Bring your screen's/emulsion and see for yourself.

Would love to Ron but to be fair we are not looking to replace our two oversized units. Using the VPR emulsion we can expose four screens in less than 5 sec.

Appreciate the response, but sounds like you are set for now.
