"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
One way I used to do the lint removal was to use an air hose and have someone blow the shirts before they reach the printing head. Also a quick snap of the shirt before loading helps.
that being said... we've successfully used a regular screen with a light mist of spray tack on it in head one before... super light squeegee stroke (like around 10-15 psi), so the screen is literally JUST coming into contact with the shirt... it would last at least 1000 shirts before we'd need to apply more tack
Aren't lint screens pretty much a must unless you need the head due to max color counts? I was planning on rigging my jav up to run one on head one, base on two, flashback on 3, etc. Rarely print 5 colors at the moment.

We only used a lint screen occasionally, when a batch of shirts had enough lint/strings to keep slowing us down. (In case it's a factor, our jobs were typically in the dozens to hundreds, not thousands like some of the contributors here.) I couldn't argue whether that shop's ways were best, either; that's just the way we did it, and it seemed fine for the work we did.
Get you an operation like this and you should be fine.(Make sure you make it to at least the 2 min mark )! No longer available
