Screen Storage

[GraphicDisorder]

Those of you without dedicated rooms for screens/pre-press can appreciate this.  Had some screen cabinets built yesterday.  We can now store a bunch of coated or ready to coat screens. We can just roll in our screen racks and roll them out to coat or move to another cabinet or whatever we like. Thought it was kind of nice and should help us with flow a bit.  We also still have 2 screen drying cabinets from Vastex.

I saw this pic on IG this morning. I didn't realize you guys could roll the carts right in the cabinets. Pretty neat!

All of our screens live on rolling racks at all stages of the process...though the cabinet idea is fantastic.  I may steal that.

Yup we will be building some more that have the fixed screen holders built into the cabinet as well.  But for now we can just move racks around as needed and that made life a bit easier. We are gearing up to be a 2-3 auto shop in the coming years.

Go for it, we call it the screen garage since we are just rolling the rack in there. Haha.

Looking good! We opted for the homebrew wooden cabinets.

Brandt,

That is a great idea for us that don't have dedicated rooms....we're pretty ghetto over here compared to that for sure.

Question...did someone build the cabinets for you..or did you buy them and just remove the bottom floor out of the equation?  Can you pass on where you bought them from if so? 

Its so hard to find something deep enough...I've looked before for the white wood cabinets before with enough depth but wasn't very lucking in my search.

We had them built with the idea of rolling the racks into them, probably wouldn't be something he would sell due to having to ship it, its welded together so it would be rather large to ship. But if you can make it to TN I could probably get you a price for pick up deal.

No...we're in Ca, so that couldn't happen....Got me thinking about metal cabinets now though and maybe being able to manipulate an already produced one.

Very nice. We built closets similar, but we found we could get more screens in there if not on the carts, either way very handy. We used to keep them in the screen room, but finally moved those closets outside the room and put a dehumidifier in there for the gooey summer months, which left more elbow room in the screen room.

I am sure something out there could be modified. I just dont have free time to make things, so I had these built. Cost me nothing as he owed me some favors.

You could make them in panels and bolt them together, ship them as flat panels.

Yes could be done, but still pain to ship. The idea was keep it light/dust tight so we welded it up.

Great idea! Has me thinking about horizontal ones that could be used as a work table with the screen storage underneath, for those of us who have to conserve space.
