Last week we had a one color left chest to print so we cranked the new press up to see how fast it/we could run. We didn't last long LOL :o
875-900 seemed to be a pace that we could sustain for longer periods of time.
Just for fun 8)

same here 72 doz. hr is a pretty fast pace on my CH3D for long periods, but the unloader has the toughest time.
-
Nice! You think flooding while indexing makes things print faster?
-
That, along with the super short and super fast flood and print strokes.
We had a newbie catching... we should have just let them drop :D

@ 1964GN....Was your pace quicker than the first job on this vid? I can't imagine keeping 1132 very long, much less this first job.

I counted about 21 a minute on the 1st press (red one color). Without time for adhesive application or missed loadings, that would be about 1260. I didn't watch this entire video, Just the first 12 minutes and then skipped around to see a displayed speed on the One Color on Red. Didn't see one.
It doesn't look like a contest or anything out of the ordinary. "Just another day at the office."
Does anybody happen to know this shop?

P.S. I LOVE my winged floods. Maybe it woudn't matter so much on a huge run with white ink, FULL WIDE OPEN like this shop ran for this vid. But on the size of jobs I do, I wouldn't really even NEED to tape my screens, even though I always do.

Back in my press running days I always prided myself with the speed and I could work at while also maintaining good QC. I could run the press by myself at 51dz/hr all day long. I'm an athletic dude and loved every second of it. With a good assistant I could do 83dz/hr (a speed my Gauntlet II just wanted to run at). In the M&R competition I entered in Atlantic City 3 or 4 years ago we got the CH3 up to 143dz/hr. Sure, my defect rate was higher than usual (6), but we still pumped out over 400 shirts in the 15 allotted minutes...which was only good enough for 4th place.
1132 pcs/hr is just under 94dz/hr. At that point I found myself hitting the emergency stop more times than it was worth. It's a lot better to print non-stop at 75dz/hr and not stop than 100dz/hr and hitting the e-stop every minute or two.
...as proud as I always was of my numbers I can't hold a candle to the record holders. Simply mind blowing stuff.

Is there a trick to "opening" the shirts? Would some kind of sticky fingers doohickey work?
I have more fumbles than Brett Favre on his worst day.

I couldn't imagine trying to print fashion fit shirts over 1000 an hour. The dam things stick together so much, almost would need a fluffer lol.

A fluffer? That's a whole other industry, and this forum is PG.

Flip the hem of the next shirt you grab this works best for me, it opens the next shirt up, I'll try to post a vid of me doing this and post.

that looks like 105 dozen. You are doing about 6 shirts in 16 seconds, that comes out to 1350 or so shirts per hour. . .

You could be right, I had a few videos up on youtube that are no longer there for whatever reason, just noticing missing videos on my youtube channel. My apologizes. I will have to see if I have them in my Note 3 folder, as they were phone videos.

yeah, that looked a little slow for 2.5K per hour. We know it can do it as the record was almost 2k/hour. I've had ours at 1400, but would love to see what double that looks like!

Ill try to get a new video soon. It was running 208dz a hour on install day, we did dial in some delay later that I think slowed it down to maxing out some where in the mid 100's if I remember. I may have to dig for that setting to turn that off. We could never print that fast though, not even close. But neat to see.

Those are fun speeds! It is always gratifying to see the job knocked out in no time! You run out of shirts right as you settle in when printing that fast.

...Yo D, if you can make the space for it, try putting your shirt table on the other side of you. That way, it is in the your natural turning path between the press and the dryer. In other words, move it from your left side to the right side. You would be amazed at the time savings, and MUCH easier on your body.

Yeah, I am always amazed when I see someones stack on their left side. I tried that once, its so much harder!
-
LOL tried it from the right, being almost all left handed it just feels better from that side... funny when my wife loads she loads from the right, I walk in and take over and just about 5 minutes in the tables back on the left ;D

Only a screen printing geek would say it's "fun" running at those speeds LOL
