Alex beat me to it. His numbers are more accurate as well.

One thing is for sure this thing is fast.   Should be able to really crank out screens now.

Any feelings for the difference in quality of burn yet?  I know ours were night and day, but then again, we had a REALLY crappy unit before we got the starlight.

I burned 20 screens with it today in prep for jobs this weekend... start to finish in about an hour... (which for me is FLYING).

Ok here is a question, how long does it take to draw down a vac, on my Atlas exposure unit the vac draws down in a few seconds ( I,m going to time it to be dead on tomorrow) and I get good screen in 2 to 3 mintues which is great with me.  Now on my older unit the blanket sucks down fast, but it's slow exposing....but anyway if you add the time it takes to draw down whats your real time?

hey D..I timed the drawdown on my Starlight at 9 seconds, then exposure currently at 35 seconds with a CCI wr-14 diazo emulsion. I have exposed some photopolymers at 8-12 seconds.
Thanks TSB gang!!

I think we have ours at 20 seconds on the vac but I suspect it might be a touch long.  Forgive me we've had it about 3 business hours and used it about 5 minutes haha.

Ours draws down in about 10 secs as well...

My ONLY complaint about the 23x31 unit is that they didn't put the same controller that's in the larger unit into it... it just has a generic timer for the leds, and no vacuum timer either...  It would be nice if that would have been an option.  Though, I do understand why they did it (keep costs down for us entry-level people).  Honestly, it's not that big of a deal, just a tiny tiny complaint.

I would assume my larger unit would take a little longer to draw down than the smaller one.  We started with 20 seconds.  Mine is all touch screen.

for us, exposure is around 22-30 seconds, depending on mesh/coating and vac time is right around 8/9 seconds.

we line up all our films, rack up the screens with films loaded and then go to town. average time to load expose and load again is about a minute. We use a cover blanket so we don't ruin the vacuum blanket and that takes a few seconds to put on. by far one of the best purchases we made. If I could only snag sam's DTS, we'd be set.

Is everyone receiving pricing @ ~$4300 for the single frame unit? I got pricing the day it was announced.
