  1. OEM? more like Bore-EM!

    as you stated you run OEM ink, but I do believe this can happen with any ink, a batch can get mixed incorrectly etc. I am sure it is mixed by a machine and there are quite a few things that could possibly happen and in your case one of them did..... as far as the OEM inks being safer that is a...
  2. Need major help from the screen printing vets!

    burn time not long enough?? I had a similar issue with the emulsion I am using I was told that it could be exposed to white light, the way I understand it is if the emulsion is exposed to white light it will slow down the emulsion cure time or burn time if you will, so it will take longer to...

    the machine that does not cut deep enough could be two things, have you ever cleaned your machine? if not clean the cutting head there is a selinoid that applies the cut pressure make sure it is not dirty and or ubstructed, this will cause it not to apply enough pressure to cut use one of those...
  4. Roland Stika Repairmen?

    maybe, it is time for a big boy machine.... maybe a 24 inch roland, or summa , or graphtech, etc. I would think your production costs would go down by steeping up to a bigger machine, buying your media in those smaller widths must be more costly, if you go with one of the afore mentioned...

  9. Vaccum set to strong but no SUCTION

    I presume that you are talking about the vacuum that holds the media to the platen when it prints, if that is what you are talking about there is usually a computer type fan on the bottom of the platen that may be under a cover, you may need to remove the cover and replace the fan, if the fan...
