I-Image ST owners

[Dottonedan]

It's amazing how far we've come with technology. I’m anxious to see where we are in 10 years.


Guys, and gals, this is another one of those young screen print business prodigy's. Wish I had what he does when I was his age.

any issues with that and having all that extra UV scattering around the room?

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

Update! So we thought that this would be the case. However You can sit a screen up on the I-image where it is sitting...and at 4 seconds it will start to expose it....At 20" away from the unit you can almost expose a screen. Front rinses out perfectly, back of screen starts to be able to be blown off. Just tells you how much light this starlight puts out...its Fn awesome.

SO! If you are blasting out huge spot colors all day, you won't have a problem. If you are printing half tones I would wait to burn something on the starlight until the screen is all the way inside the machine, or if there isn't a screen on it. It may barely effect your screen on the I-Image if you are scared about it, but we went through about 100 screens after we adjusted our exposure times with help from Dan and didn't have any problems!

New subject: If you are buying an I-Image from M&R make sure you request Dan for the install. He not only has the tech training to install the unit, but the art background to make sure you get the most bang for your buck. I can't express the gratitude we have for the detailed explanations he gave my guys about how things work, and why they need to be that way to get the best quality print on press. $2400 or whatever install bill was worth every penny!

Appreciate the Kudo's Lucky,

It's very tough to get requested and actually be available at that time also. We are booked early but all attempts are made to accommodate customer request.

Also, I'll note that each and every tech is 100% qualified to do the job required of installs. In fact, the others are "more" experienced at the troubleshooting or inner program workings than I am. I feel we each have our own intense skillset and as a whole, we utilize each others skills very well as s team. For me, I just happen to have more of an art background than a DTG or DTS background and can relate to art needs deeper than most. That's probably true if I were to work for an Ink Co, a chemical Co or a mesh Co. Those other guys have had careers as Printer Techs in some way, before coming to M&R so they really are far beyond me skillset as it pertains to the machine, but I can dance just as well in that area as needed. Where I lack, they help me pick up the slack. I have much appreciation and respect for those guys.

I appreciate the Kudo's for me, but didn't want anyone to walk away thinking they have to get me only. 
The art topics I am able to go through are above what is needed for installs.

Thanks!!
Dan
