Screen Making / Re: Exposure Unit Recommendations

Got the new light in. It's bigger than i thought. Not as bright as I thought either, but it's a blacklight colored light, not bright white like the metal halide. Still hurts to look at. ;)

We are testing it now and it'll be an adjustment.  but this should be a good solution for us.

i have attended/worked at many print shows since I was in my late twenties, Different times, I know however, there seems to a tendency to oversell products. Auto scoop coaters do not the time it takes to refill and by the way who cleans them and how much time that takes. Thats money. Presses claim 1200 pc per hour but pls if anyone who can verify this in an eight-hour day I would respectively retract this statement.
Some old timers might remember that I ran a column called "The Printers Perspective" in Printwear back in the day. That's what it was all about,
,Boots on the ground what works and what else you may try, It was a "works for you" approach. But always remember, if you change one variable for the positive, you may have a negative on others.

 I have to say that I am around of those works, dated as they be now.

That will probably be the way it will go for me. The glory days are done, and I am tired of being crap on by "family based" companies, that do not have loyalty. I am sorry for the negative post....need to forgive and move on and find the Lord. All that said, I don't trust many people in the industry anymore. It's just not the same. Or perhaps I have changed as well. Its weird but no one recognizes the talent and artisanship any more. I may just work in the restaurant biz part time here, so I retract the relo offer unless it makes perfect sense. I am a pretty good cook. Bless you all

October 2025, after 37 years, I lit that bridge on fire. The fire was gone, those years became the past, there was no turning back. It was a good run.
Sometimes you gotta take that leap of Faith! Change course, change your life. That's what I did. Nowadays I can be found working the pits at one of our local BBQ establishments. Good luck to you all and may God Bless! #lifeisthepits

Thats for sure. Probably going next door to a meat and three and make breakfast and lunch. Then in the studio, walk the Beagle.
