They work hard over there so this is occasionally allowed
The guy in this pic has that look like WTF, I'm going to smack this chick upside the head & yell "get back to work".

There used to be a lot of interesting line table vids, not so many these days for some reason.

This one is pretty neat, check out the robotic quartz unit:

I like the way the printer just shoved the dryer past a few shirts, apparently not minding that they didn't get flashed, but then again, that end hadn't gotten dried yet before the second hit. Oh well, I'm sure he knows what he is doing. Obviously not just some Mickey Mouse operation. :P

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Actually, I was thinking that at first, and then I realized it's pretty likely that's not plastisol...  :)

My favorite video of "alternate" methods was the Latin American shop with their version of an Oval involving a dozen or so guys boogieing to salsa music, shuffling around a table laying down the subsequent colors to the stationary shirts.

I'd love to find that one.

I saw that one too Frog, looks like they were having a good time dancing and printing, shoot if I took my eyes off while printing on our auto I would F up much less try to dance.
Life is like Kool-Aid, gotta add sugar/hardwork to make it sweet!!

I have attached two photographs I took in India, they still print a lot like this.
You can see the shirts hanging, that's how they dry them.       
They were printing a Ed Hardy rip off.     There was a Ed Hardy buyer at the hotel I stayed at and when she saw the photograph she said it's a rip off.
They get great results and can print lots of colors.
Indians prefer labor intensive work, they have so many people to employ.

So far, I've only seen it done on pre-sewn goods, not Tees. But I'm still new to the idea.

Fascinating.

I'd assumed the travelling heat panels I've seen were merely flash units, Tony. Maybe they CAN do a full cure?
They don`t. Lot`s of print shops here in Japan use the same set up. The flash is travelling right behind the person that does the printing. Speed can be adjusted accordingly. Printing 20 spot colors is no problem at all. If you are into that kind of thing. Well anyway, since most of them use waterbased inks they add an aircure additive and then hang the shirts or they have a dry room where the shirts are "baked" for a few minutes. A shop close to us operated in a building that was only 4 meters wide max. One table in there for printing. That`s it.
