Screen Making / Re: Exposure Unit Recommendations

Pierre is on CCI Nexus emulsion now.  If you have run PHU 2, the data numbers are almost identical.  48% solids.  It's great for plastisol, wb, d/c.  Long runs or D/C you can add diazo.  Nothing really changed with exposure as far as I know.  It did however shore up pin holes that were becoming a problem with some emulsions.

CCI LXP is optimized for LED.  You can get 4-5 sec exposure on an I Image STE and most LED units.
CCI LXP is awesome, we used it for many years.

Equipment / Roller Frame Alignment Clips

Anyone know if these clips were made for other reasons but were used for Roller Frames?  I heard that they were used years ago to hold florescent light bulbs in place in a fixture. Anyone ever heard of this?

We have not tried the SPS yet. Will do it on one of the batches.

Spot Color is fantastic and Brannon is a great guy. I highly recommend them.

Eco Frame panels in a roller would be great.

Is is freeze stable? I loved PHU for that but the PHU-HR we are on now is not stable and causing issues.

General Screen Printing / Re: Topic for discussion

Large scale screen printing production isn't going anywhere.  However, the small shops that have a shelf life anyways, this is just speeding up the inevitable.  Unless you are a massive online POD, no one has ever made money from doing low qty, one offs, etc. in the history of this industry.  DTF is a tool.  I visit 500 shops a year, some really massive places and lots of small shops.  The sky is falling people don't leave their towns and listen to every thing on FB.  I'm telling you, as a distributor, screen printing is alive and well.  DTF is losing steam.
Antony, define Large Scale Shop
As Pierre said, I should redefine that in 4 plus autos.  I would say I am mostly in shops that are 1-3.  I think that is a sweet spot.  Overhead isn't crazy, easier to manage and with a little digital in the mix to fulfill those odd requests or hard to print items, you can make a good business. 
Andy Anderson told me something years ago that I wish I would have listened to sooner. "Add promo".  Promo is really killing it for shops that I can see.
