You've been warned.LOL, you'll have a hard time making it all fit..... People dont realize how small my shop is until they see it, we do a ton of stuff for 2 autos and the space that we have.... No screen room, nothing like that here..... All these prints are done with us walking screens around the shop under regular lighting I am coming to your shop to see the ch3d though, that way I can show your ass how to load shirts 125 doz/hr LOL
Danny, you guys do some really good work over there!Other than it being such a beast of a cool machine, how do your guys like, or you for that matter, loading jobs like these on the C3 vs the Diamond Back. How's your CTS pre-reg between the two presses, do you see a faster set up and more accurate set up on the C3? How does your team fare when running a job, say the same design on both one of your DB's and the C3, say they run both machines at say 40 doz per hour, does it beat up the DB team more than the C3 team, or is it equal. Loggin all of my homework for the near future, =)Thanks DannyMike
Here's another sim process one from today...... Pretty crazy deal on this one, client came in this morning(yes today) and said he has an out of state event this weekend that we would need to print and ship shirts today in order to hit their deadline. He supplied the art(a crappy flat jpeg) and I did the seps on it real quick just to get the guy something..... All in all though came out pretty dang nice for us having to turn the job the same day getting it. This was 65 lpi on this one, 6 colors all on 272 mesh

Everything about the CH3 has made things "easier" around the shop here. Loading shirts is MUCH nicer then loading on a press with the table going up and down. We have about equal registration between the two presses but I feel like with rear clamp we have less of a chance with the screen walking when it gets clamped. Like the job I posted today(hawaii shirt) I locked the screens and was off to printing. No micro adjustment needed so I would say we get slightly better results on the ch3 then the dback as far as registration w/ triloc. When I was printing the afc bronco shirts I had the exact same job on both presses so it was a good test to see which press was more productive. For the first hour we printed 655 shirts on the dback, and in the same time we printed 984 shirts on the ch3. The 2nd hour I had my guys switch presses so I would know if it was the press guys or the press itself giving me the higher production....So with the crews swapped the 2nd hour our dback did 620 shirts and the ch3 did 960 shirts..... All my guys say running 50 doz/hr on the dback they can switch to the ch3 and run 75+ doz/hr and they feel like they are running the same speed. The ch3 makes things much much much easier and will really increase production. There's quite a few jobs that we double stroke in our shop and we can double stroke on the ch3 and still run 65 doz/hr. There's so many reasons why the ch3 indexing system is far better then the other options but I'd have to write a book on why. Let's just put it this way, I cannot replace my dback soon enough because myself and all my guys have been spoiled with the ch3.
