Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
where do you get the time to even watch that for 8 minutes...?LOL
I realize there is a lot of money to be had in a shop like this, with low skilled workers pumping out shirts, but holy crap do I never want to own a shop like this. Not only is it embarrassing, but at this point it would be like owning any other business. Where is the creativity, the care for detail, etc. I love screen printing. I get a thrill seeing every shirt come off the press. Losing that would be a sign it was time to try something new...

I guess pumping out half cured shirts works for them, they look to be growing. Wish I had one of those presses. Im sure the guy who shot the video will catch the belt girls on the video one day.
what I noticed is the shirts being chucked on the belt poorly, overlapping - any idiot can see that happening right?...EXCEPT the guy filming the video?! I mean, you are watching poor practice and not stopping it!? hmm...

I mean, you are watching poor practice and not stopping it!? hmm...the video was from our Regional manager's cell phone. The dryer was plenty hot enough to cure that print with that amount of overlap but I agree it's bad practice. More importantly is watching how the ladies running the black shirt machine use the features of the machine to not stop the machine. The operator hits print finish while getting additional garments and when finished hits print start to start loading again. A couple shirts later the empty pallets arrive at the unload station and the unloader starts to apply tac which is quick drying and allows the press operator to load immediately afterwards. Very efficient operators in my opinion other than the overlap but again the Sprint 2000 will still cure it.
