  1. Purchasing Xpresscreen Screen print equipment would like your feedback.

    Exactly, and for me using a manual press 25 newtons isn't as important as someone with an auto doing fine detail. I do simple, cookie cutter screen printing. No halftones not too many colors. Lawn guy stuff, not Motley Crue tour shirts. On my clamshell tension means a lot more to me because of...
  2. Purchasing Xpresscreen Screen print equipment would like your feedback.

    I have retensionables for my clamshell press for yard signs but honestly, melray is so affordable restretching and purchasing aluminum frames for the textile press it is more than worth my time to have them do it. I can tell them exactly how many newtons I want the fabric stretched to and go...
  3. Purchasing Xpresscreen Screen print equipment would like your feedback.

    http://www.awt-gpi.com/http://www.awt-gpi.com/product123.htm The stuff you are looking at does not look like professional production equipment to me. You can get good quality aluminum frames with mesh from Melray.com, supplies form tubelite or nazdar among others. Do some more research. AWT may...

    Tubelite also
  5. Epson Stylus 9880 - Ink Question

    Cs sign supply is a merch member and can most likely help with media and ink. They do a fine job for me on my Epson.
  6. Material Failure or Damaged by customer?

    Def customer damaged. It's one thing if they come and tell you "hey I screwed this up can you help me?", totally different when they lie to you. Proceed accordingly. I might tell him look, I'm glad to help you out but come on, tell me the truth, what happened?

  8. Might wanna look and see..................................

    Good looking stuff Gino, the old pic with the biplane is cool too. Back when pilots actually looked like pilots, lol. Good to see you posting again.
  9. Lines in print

    At a glance it looks like you have some hair/fiber stuck to a print head dragging through fresh print.
  10. Best time to buy a printer??

    Bought mine at a show and got a very good deal. Was also close to home so wasn't a big deal getting it to the shop.
  11. Sandblasting Mugs

    651 here too. Although I use it at double thickness. Doesn't take much to blast a glass mug.
  12. Mounting Digital Media, No Lamination

    What are you mounting to?

  15. CS Sign Supply

    Have to say thanks out loud to the crew at CS Sign Supply. Many mishaps on an order through no fault of their own but they truly stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park. Too often these days that is not the case as many of us here can attest. They went out of there way to rectify...
  16. Entry Level CNC Router

    Thinking of selling my seiko and getting a 4x4 router myself. Zenbot looks decent. Lots of research yet to do!
  17. Cutting in to equal size sheets

    I have a challenge 3 phase 30" cutter. Mosh is right, you can cut a big stack no problem and you have to clean the blade to keep adhesive off because it will build up.
  18. Seiko Color Painter

    Any machine running solvent ink needs maintenance daily. Period. Over the weekend when you are closed and not printing or even overnight it needs to run maintenance cycle to keep ink flowing through heads and lines. I would never walk away from a screen in the shop with solvent (corogloss in my...
  19. Film Positive Printing Question

    They never look black enough to my eye either but they expose just fine. Do a step wedge test, shoot a screen or two and see. On t-shirt screens at 125 mesh (yellow), I get a good shot using unfiltered black light flourescent tubes approx. 3 inches from film at 4 1/2 minutes in a vacuum frame...
  20. Film Positive Printing Question

    One, what film are you using? Two, are you set on black and white printing or color? Use rgb black and set saturation high, make sure printer is set to black white print. Next, have you performed a step wedge test to determine proper exposure? If you are over shooting your exposure time you can...
