Post pictures of frame and Teflon sheet please, can this be ordered separately?
I was told about this technique the other day by one of my local supply reps, and was really impressed with the idea. It's almost like having a heat press on your automatic to use between hits. Any way to get this setup running on a Javelin w/ v-squeegees?
Is there a manual-print roller-squeegee? I could see this working on a manual press having the extra teflon screen and a roller squeegee that can sort of work in your hands manually... you could do this do any color you want between flashes etc... I guess the roller could be more simple for a manual does not have to attach to the automatic press components, but the concept is the same it really does smooth out the ink, the only thing I would want to see a more objective scientific comparison is with a gradient of color that shows the percentages, to see if this affects the dot-pattern final % at all, perhaps it might gain but when applying to multiple inks it should help them actually mix-in more on press and penetrate the shirt fabric more. Overall this seems like a great improvement to the technique of screenprinting and especially when you see how roller-squeegees work on actual ink-screens too but that is more experimental as far as the R&D I've seen. Great stuff Action Engineering you guys are true innovators, I always love looking at your site and drooling over the things I would buy if I had a big shop... but starting out on my own from the ground up in printing I'm on a budget with a manual, but I look to you guys for all my future expansion with equipment-accessories either manual or automatic, so keep up the great work you will have a future customer with me for sure.
We do not have a V-Squeegee compatible roller squeegee. However, I think that Workhorse offers a retrofit kit to allow your machine to use Roller Squeegees - please ask your Workhorse representative. (800)778-8779
