Alan what type of screen/Teflon setup directly after the flash were you using? Just curious as that's what made a difference for me.

I used mist spray tack to adhere the teflon sheet to the bottom of our screen in head 4, with the flash in head 3.  I didn't do anything other than that with the teflon.  We changed the pressure on the roller a few times and I kept the roller speed set to 4"/sec.

What kind of pressure do you guys run on the roller?  I was thinking that 40psi would be plenty of pressure and I think I got it up to 50psi at one time.  What about speed?  Slow, medium, probably not fast if I had to guess?

For guys not in US, remind me after the show and I'll get you a PDF with all the info.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Employees that care!
The most important. They are like family to us. Some are still with us after 40 years. We can take long holidays because of these trusted few ;)

Sorry Pierre, don't mean to hassle you, did send a PM but not sure if you received it.  Just wanting to continue to up our game and always reading and researching - this forum is a great resource. 

Working on Standardising Work (SOP Manual) at the minute and hoping that we have identified all the variables - just so we can control and measure them. 

Thx in advance :-)
