How many of us run auto's solo? (and what's your typical print speed?)

[screenprintguy]

Depending on the size of the image, if it can be flashed before pulling ect, anyone here who prints usually runs our DB at 30 doz safely, but myself or Niki can usually run it around 40 doz as a solo if the image catches a flash before pulling, or say a left chest.

Anyone done any videos of a "one man show"?....

[Binkspot]

350 pph depending on image sometimes more sometimes less, pockets 550-600 pph but the stacking afterwards is the PIA part.

I haven't kept up with how many an hour yet but I can run solo with a 13 second delay and if I'm really feeling cocky maybe bump it down to an 11 second.

i max at 36 dozen per hour...I cruise at 30 all day.

I don't print alone much anymore, but I still like to run a press, so sometimes I do.

Here's a quick clip of me printing solo...  I am definitely a slow loader...

That's similar to how I unload the shirt except I slide it really fast off the pallet onto the belt.  I'm not this fast but this is what I try to do but with Jason's technique.

Shelly used to be around 30dz a hour, now we have 3 people out there and Shelly and I aren't one of them, that's pretty great finally.

Depending on the print size and double strokes...about 28 doz per hour.

If I know I am printing alone I try to have revolver jobs or flashes...allows me to load and unload and fold in between cycles.

Back... "some" years ago...  I would load/unload at 300/350 and hour for long periods of time with a catcher.  The index speed is what kept the numbers down.  If I also had to fold, I would average 150 an hour.

The better the index speed, the faster we could go.  Just as Peter mentioned above about the Challenger 3's.

that was probably round 180 or so shirts an hour (rough 3 shirts a minute)... at that point.
I usually use the foot indexer, because I'm picky about the lineup and straightness of the prints.

I do know on that job that I did 210 shirts in 65 minutes.  so I'm sure that I sped up as I went.

I time almost everything we do so I can understand what our true 'hourly' costs are.
