Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
All imaging equipment should be linearized. Nothing will out put a true dot from the box, each piece of equipment needs to be told what to print. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk
So I just wanted to give this I Image STE a major shout out today....... Attached is a pic of a design that I am printing today.... I had to do the seps real quick on this so seps could have been better but all in all turned out really good...... So here's where the I Image ste kicked major ass for us on this job..... From the time I saved the seps from my computer to the ste, I started my stop watch..... Then I stopped my stop watch once I printed the first shirt that was in registration. This is an 8 color print so I had to make all 8 screens, tape them, etc..... Total time making screens, setting up on press, etc = 38 minutes Prior to dts/ i image ste this would have taken us hours.... Just to print these films on an epson we would have been looking at close to an hour!

In the last 2 weeks I have been thinking about going this route more and more as we are beginning to have a bit of a bottleneck at the exposure unit. Nothing terrible, but we should upgrade soon. Danny, do you have a drying cabinet or something? How do you get your screens ready to block out and set up so quickly?
Just had a quick conversation with my floor manager. He told me the last six jobs he set up were dead nuts on, NO MICROS. Came off the STE. 4-7 color jobs. Damn, I love good systems.
We went all last thursday and friday without touching a micro.......... In those two days we setup 212 screens, not bad for a 2 auto shop with 5 guys.... LOL
