Watched the vid, no sound here at work. I will listen to you at home. Good looking prints!How old is that 5 of xolb-158?
you using cotton white on a 50/50 shirt?
Does the flood pressure & speed also change with the fast print speed?
There seems to be no angle on the squeegee, is there?Is anyone printing fast using regular mesh?
Alan, I have a couple questions.1. Double bevel what duro?2. PFFP pull off.Why not pfpf pull off?What mesh count on both screens 150S? You said one screen.Great video.Thanks,Shane
I believe that was a 120/54 base and a 150/48 top. We go back and forth from a 120 to a 150 for underbasing these days. I'll use a 90/71 or a 100/55 for one hit whites/colors.

It's got the tiny specks all in it.Quote from: Homer on May 03, 2016, 03:37:28 PMyou using cotton white on a 50/50 shirt?It's a low bleed technically speaking. It won't stop a 100% poly from bleeding but the 50/50's have gotten better over the years...somehow. Quote from: Wildcard on May 03, 2016, 06:42:15 PMDoes the flood pressure & speed also change with the fast print speed?Slightly. We'll bump the psi up 1-2 for every 4-5"/sec. The overall pressure on the shirt is relatively the same but you need to adjust the off contact a little bit and the pressure slightly as you increase your speed. That's not always the case but as a general rule.
About 6 months ago I got a pail of Tidy that was leaving tiny, unground specks of ink in the open stencil and you had to get out the press wash or screen opener and it was happening about every 6-10 prints depending on the size of the open area. I got a few pails of Tidy and 158 and I think a total of 4 had the issue and Joe's ink replaced the Tidy/158. I would have kept some on hand for certain occasions and still gone with Joe's ink but the problem just made the switch that much easier. It's such a good ink for how we print that it's a shame that the problem happened but it did. I know you'll know much more about how it happened and what exactly happened because I don't know, I do know that it wasn't usable.
