Thanks again. think about a spring loaded kickstand/jiffy clamp/butcher block set up for the swatch setup. Ours is located in the ink room with recipie notebook clipboard and  test circle screens always at the ready. Industrial heat gun for cure. Never have to leave the ink dept for testing/checking formulas.

Ah, the lightbulb just went off. This is brilliant; the only part I am having a hard time working out is "test circle screens". Can you elaborate on that part of your setup?

We just have some circle film positives that get shot on one of those square bar newmans (so we can use a specific mesh like a 150s, etc.) clamped into one of those little chinese presses that one of our staffers had lying around.  Keep some small squeegees, etc. around it and put it right at the ink mixing station with a heat gun.  It's nice to preflight overprints, colors, etc. on the specific fabrics.
