Nylon Cinch Bags

[ScreenPrinter123]

Have an order for several hundred lime nylon cinch bags with a navy print.  We do not have a smaller set of pallets that the bags will fit around for the auto so it is either a manual job or a place on top of the pallet automatic job.  It is a rush job so I cannot get the pallets in time at a price that makes sense!

Anyone every place these on top of the pallet with a well tensioned screen, higher than normal off contact, and fast print with success?  If so any tips.

Follow up question...we don't use nylobond that often so ours has been in the fridge for a decent while, is there a shelf life that we should be concerned about?  Union's literature on it only references a shelf life once mixed with plastisol but not the container of nylobond itself.

Many thanks during a nice New Orleans spring downpour!

I've never tried it, but let me know how it goes.   ;)

Seriously though, sounds like a decent idea if you can place them consistently and as you say have a high tension screen, fast stroke, definitely work the viscosity of the ink, you shouldn't have opacity issues with navy till you're really basing back.

I figure if you can't pour the nylobond, it's expired.  Pretty unscientific but it works for me.

Haha!  I will certainly report back here and and am stubborn enough to attempt things even if people say it won't work.  Now it's time to see if that nylobond is stuck in the bottle  :D

  I'm sure it can be done with nylon. I used to do thousands of canvas
bags on an old Precision oval. Once Nylobond is opened if it is not
sealed COMPLETELY after use, it will be hard as a rock in no time.
I have had much greater luck with the QCM additive. Stays liquid for
quite a long time.

Thanks Doug.  It sounds like the nylobond would work if still liquid (which ours is) according to the feedback so far.  Wewe will give it a go and test after curing as always.  Thanks for sharing your prior success with canvas as it gives me a reasonable suspicion that this should at least be achievable on the auto.  I will check into the QCM additive once the nylobond is no longer useable.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the heads up and let you know that it worked out.

Lime Green Nylon Bag with navy print

Union ink with 12% curable reducer, 1.5% Wilflex Viscosity Buster, and 10% old nylobond printed through a 305 S Mesh with 20 psi and a speed of 10 inches per second using more than normal off contact

Six hundred bags and had about 8 discards due to a crease in the bag since they were just placed on top of the pallet.  Far better than printing manually!
