Could the pin bar on the exposure unit someone move a little bit or is it taped/glued on good. Or the tri-loc on the expo unit.
I remember one time when we were using duct tape to fasten the unit on the expo unit that the duct tape gave it some play when we were constantly pushing on it in one direction. We also had one of the pins come off on time and that caused a negative reaction as well on everything lining up smoothly.

Hope y`all can help me out here.
I`ve been using the M&R Tri Lock for years with no problems. Put the Tri lock pallet on, line up the job, no problem. Lately though, the designs are crooked on the pallet. Films are straight on the carrier sheet. The bracket on the tri lock is tight and appears to be straight. It`s a crapshoot when we put it on. We have to move it left or right, lock it down and hope we have it right. If not, loosen it up and try again.
I`m not sure what changed to cause this. Any suggestions, or has anyone else had this issue?

These soccer mom's -as Shane Gillis would say- are whoring out our industry and deflating the value of a custom product. High volume shops might not be effected as much, small to mid sized shops are probably finding it useful. Pivot and make it work. We do a ton of crests, hats, leather, patches etc with dtf.. anything small or really open face.... I don't even want the jobs these cricket karen's are getting. Cheer mom, cheer dad, cheer fam...pfft, go ahead..... My issue is they leave SO much money on the table by selling it cheap. The good news is I am getting a lot of feedback that the full size DTFs are failing after so many washes...... Between AI "art" and DTF, the cost of entry into this industry is under 100.00.... tanking the value of a custom shirt for all of us....
a rep from S&S that opens an account for anyone with a pulse AND sells DTF, asking a true print shop if it's hurting your sales has some rather large balls.....

That question was ask to me by a S&S rep yesterday and the answer is on some stuff yes, it seems every soccer mom with a spare bedroom is doing DTF or at least buying print's and pressing, for one they have a direct line into school's with there kids, then they really have no overhead so they sell cheap. We've been ask to print DTF but we only do small qty's and don't really want to invest in the larger production equipment that print's the 24" roll's....what about you guy's

Hi all,
over the next year or 2 I will be downsizing. I have a very well used balloon printer. I have printed millions of balloons on this thing. It has 2 heads for single color 2 sides or 2 colors 1 side. The first head is working well. The second head and maybe the flipper need some help. It is all pneumatic so you will need a fairly good sized air compressor. You can run a 5hp piston but probably only around 70% of the total speed. That is still 1000+ balloons per hour.
Matt

These are used for screen and digital printing. We use them for screen printed transfers and paper prints.
Each rack has 50 shelves (although the top shelf on one or two needs new springs).
Shelves are 32" wide x 23" long.
The Rack is:
67" tall
27" deep
32" wide
Asking $450 per rack, plus shipping.
Located in Tempe, az.
Happy to make a deal if you want all.

Never seen that.
I'll one up the moth. We had a small bird die in a gallon of ink over a weekend. I guess it flew in the shop and we didn't notice it. It landed in some ink and was dead and coated by the time we found it.
Gnar. One of my many pet peeves is when the kids leave buckets open. I'll use yours as a cautionary tale.
