Mine loses the time after about 2 seconds, literally.

That's weird. I just thought that was how it worked. I got mine in July, not sure if that would make a difference.

Your two units should work exactly the same.

I can power my main down, then fire it back up and it recalls my last time I used. I did that on accident, that's how I found out. I think it's an 8 sec draw so it's not a huge deal at all. And you guy know we work casual, not balls out, nice and comfortable pace. I put a screen in, put a cover blanket over top, compress the lid, set the time, then vacuum, start - open the lid, place a new screen in and repeat...while that one is drawing/exposing I peel film and pick the tape off and toss it away.

I can hear all the CTS guys going eww tape and film..I know, I hate it too.

You know your spending like a 100 a year on tape right?

Sorry couldn't resist.

The way our NuArc stores and recalls exposure times takes longer than to manually punch in the time.
It would be cool if it operated like a snack vending machine "push D-7 for a Snickers" and then you push
D-8 and get a lousy kit kat.

For all day every day kind of work we have only 6 or so mesh counts.

I agree with you, it would be nice if you had some presets on the machine.  It's not a huge deal or anything but would be cool!

Not really anything to do with the Starlight or LED per say, but the last few months our exposure unit has been stuck on a specific preset and only later in the day does the button start working, so we have been burning a lot of our screens the same time regardless of mesh count and it's worked out fine.  Luckily it stuck on 5 light units which works for low and high mesh counts with the HVP having a large exposure latitude.  Higher mesh screens with fine lines and halftones were slightly overexposed and low mesh was a little underexposed but we managed to burn hundreds of screens at the same light unit setting without any real issues.  Maybe a few more pinholes here and there but not that noticeable.
