Sorry Dave no. This is obviously an empty factory I believe early hours before production. Then its literally a Chinese Fire Drill. Been doing it this way for decades and still do.

I saw one like this. Not as fancy. Take your wood frame, print a piece, move to the next one, on down the line. crazy fast too.

On another note, and I RARELY get to say this....it's "warmer" here this morning than there.   :o

YouTube search: "Table Screen Printing" and you'll see this and "A-Frame" styled setups.

I did it last night, coincidentally.

Takes eight people to print eight colors plus an unloader/loader behind them. They also have some interesting curing methods. Pretty darn clever actually.

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?

This is part of one of many facilities. Many acres in size. Knitting/cutting department/decorating departments/sewing/finishing. Pretty much nothing like its done here. Back in the day we decorated similarly with huge belt printers which automated the process but it proved too costly and it went back to offshore table printing.

Few years back I looked into this a bit & found some blueprints on the interweb, very simple build & the screens set into place with pin & rivet system. Pretty simple idea, but cool nun the less.

Doing so much with so little, I just got thru taking with my wife about doing so much with what you got, no fancy press, using sunlight to expose screens, no 40 n newman frames, s mesh, just plain old screen printing, but I'm sure some sez it can't be done that way LOL. I would love to walk in one of those factories and watch them work.

BTW Some of these factories are producing high end couture $50-$70 retail. You should see them hand apply Swarovsky rhinestones
