We love dogs, especially gsds! The older black/tan can come Monday if ya want. The younger rescue needs some training. They get to come on Fridays/weekends when noone else is usually there.

i have wanted to test out a better RIP since it's a stock epson printer.  I couldn't get the trial of FilmMaker to download(the one for wide format inkjets)

The i-image ST is not Epson based. Just a FYI

Feel free to call or tech support with questions on the rip.
One thing to think about if trying different rips out.
We had the I-block rip written to communicate with the Epson in a very specific manner as to not trip up any of the various "epsonisms".
This does not mean another rip can not do the same, we just wouldn't know how to support it.

Doesn't LED light diffuse (or whatever the proper term for losing its super exposing power is) at very short distances?

Yes, inverse sqaured.
Evey time you double the distance you lose four times yhe light energy.
With the effective rate on our Starlight at 5/8-3/4" you catch the drift. .. at 1.5" it will take four times as long to expose

Alex,

I think this is the missing analogy in prior LED conversations on the board, I bet Mr Hoffman would have sold a few more units if people better understood why M&R light array might be better than others. My thought is are a greater volume of lower powered bulbs a better solution than fewer but more powerful bulbs...or is it a draw??

No
I was simply stating our leds lose their effective range quickly bc they are so close. No need to worry about the little light we saw in the video.
In reference to how we lay out the panel and the leds we use, Yes this is done for very specific reasons. on layout, reflector angle and strength.

New video. Big thanks to Dan to getting us up and running. Gone through a good 60 screens already. Seems to be about one every 50secondsish. If we kept it up...700 screens per shift? (10 hour days). Not too shabby! Crazy difference from where we were...and don't even get me started on new press setup times with tri lock....


 Get to do some tweaking tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UifJ3t6ziKs
