What different size pallets did you get?  Also how does the skip shirt feature work?  Sweat set-up by the way.

Ya, I'm interested too, gonna have to hit them up for a program update myself!

Right now just one set of adult pallets. Currently we plan to use the DB for sleeves, necks etc and will probably leave it set up that way. Depending on how things go that could change of course.

If you misload, moving to fast and can't load at all, etc... just hit the skip button and it won't print that pallet all of the way around the press. That way you don't need to stop, move it back, fix it the start again.

Where is the "skip button"?

[TCT]

Got ya! Thought it was a automatic no shirt sensor, there was mumble about that.

We have the skip like you are talking about, Chris/Parker1 it is on the home or main screen.

One thing that you guys may want to try, and I didn't like it at first but really like it now is- use the pedal as a break(you can switch how you want it set up, as a "break" or a "advance"). Well we have ours as a break and when someone is learning on that press and after that we tell them to use the pedal every time no matter what. That way it becomes a habit and you don't even think about actively doing it. Then you can basically take off any dwell from the machine and print as fast as the machine is loaded and if there is a issue grabbing a T or something and you are delayed 1 sec or so it is not a issue because you still have your foot on the break. 

Just a thought, but it has worked well for us!

Thanks for the tips, Alex!

MHM's work that way and I think it's the way to go. Makes for some awkward footwork at times though.

Did not know if it was a smash button similar to the one on our Red bandit.  Thanks for the clarification.

1964N are you able to run the flock or foil applicator in the open stations?

I don't know why we couldn't but I do see conflicting information about that in their literature. Some areas say that it is and other areas say it isn't.

depends if the wiring is in the machine. last I knew you had to request it, but if you buy the flock/foil attachement, they come put it in anyways, so after 1 line of text, yes you can

No shirt detector is a no brainer. Without having to touch a thing it gives peace of mind and
never have to worry at all about screen "thrraaP"!

Every printer has had it happen and is like a slow motion -Nooo Ugggg--
you just know the squeegee is cementing the emulsion to the platen and there's nothing you can do but
screech in horror as the pop of death comes. 

One of the worst sounds a printer can hear, and -Oh no- is the screen good any more?

**Got caught up in the drama- GREAT LOOKING SET-UP and many years of fun with that keen piece of machinery.

As promised I have created a time-lapse video of the install. This my first video creation so it's not quite as polished as many I've seen, so be nice

Thanks for following along!
