I never seem to get over how easy this is. No UB means much quicker registration. Reasonably good halftones and great pop in the colors. I might of mentioned it before but our printers hate using plastisol.

Got any pics? Happy New Year from Xenon.

CCI base. We carry several brands of pigment and use Sericol for the flos and white but the white is pretty interchangeable with CCIs. Screens are statics with 55 line screen for the halftone

AGAIN NICE WORK TONY. The only change i would have made would have been using a 40 line halftone and a 196 mesh screen. just a little easier to keep it open and clean with my shop conditions.

Tony, you guys are running all air presses right? How do the older Gauntlets do with DC/WB?
The videos I've seen of pneumatic head presses for sale have spooked me away from them a little, they seem to stall, hang up and chatter on the print stroke but I wonder if that is simply bad settings and operator error.

The heart is okay. I have started beam radiation treatments for the prostate cancer. After the beam radiation I will probably have my hip fixed. Right now I am on light lifting duty and therefore spending more time on the computer. Hope you have a happy holiday Tony.

When discharge first started making the rounds it did indeed like to clog up the mesh. As a matter of fact the first puffs were WB and notorious for this. This why the manufacturers used to recommend vector art on low mesh. But not anymore.

I was thinking the new inks are better but was referring to how a pneumatically-driven blade will sort of jump across a print. IMHO, wb and discharge takes much more pressure than plastisol so it seems like this would be an issue potentially.

Discharge frequently requires more pressure but this will vary depending on the zillion of other varibles. Yes the Indian Moto Girl was hit twice but considering the fact that she wasn't flashed she cycled at zero dwell. This printed in '04. Through 355 mesh.
