Title: Lost number 1 pallet
Post by: 3Deep on September 22, 2011, 04:53:05 PM
I don't know how everyone else do there's, but I numbered my pallet's 1 thru 8 and dam if sometimes I don't loose my place during printing...by anwering the phone or just whatever.  I allways start at the number one pallet, so today wife is at the Doctor with our son, so its just me and lost my place p/f/p multicolored shirts with white ink.  So my bright idea was to get a magnet and place on the press and mark 1 on it so whenever I stopped I would place the magnet on that pallet.  Now if I confused you some, drink a beer then read it again, it reads better the more you drink  ;D

Nice!

I stick a piece of blue block out tap on the inside of the arm I start with. It stands out and can easily come off.

I hang a shirt off so if I walk down to the end of the belt, I can see where the first one is in the rotation...gives me an idea of how much time I have.

I tie a string of empty beer cans from the number 1 pallet. Kind of like the newly weds car thingy. Not only can you see it but you can hear it too.  OK I'm sh!ttin' but now that I think about it.......

I'm confused on why you couldn't just look at the print and know? I have to be missing something.

Screen sometimes when I,m printing light color shirts and p/f/p white I loose track because a customer or phone call, there's few other reason, but that helps me stay on track.
