RPM ESP press

I don't know man, I guess a cool idea, but, imagine the pallet deflection on that after a while, not to mention 20 other things. Keeping up with service on top of existing stuff

absolutely love innovation, and I applaude the efforts but I just can not see a use for this. way too slow and takes up way too much room, could you imagine powering 8 flash units around this thing? I guess for HSA but damn. . .I guarantee someone would be standing the wrong spot at the wrong time and wham! off to the nurses office.

Spot on! I think focus on support for current machines, and improvements in longevity of flash units ect would be better suited for RPM.

I personally think it would have been better to make an optional "2nd lift" that would drop the carousel another couple inches to allow more room for a flashback.  Much less floor space overall.

Until Workhorse patent on the flashback is over, printing and flashing on the same head other companies are going to have to be very creative, but wait a friend of our's just bought a new Diamond back and it has a infrared flash that shuttles in and out, is that the same as a flashback hmm maybe not?

The flash back allows you to print and flash on the same head. The flash shuttles in just below the screen.

I'm curious what the index/piece per hour times are for a P-F-P with a Workhorse flashback, Anatol step back, RPM innie-outie, and just adding a second revolution to the print cycle.

Flash back stroke is adjustable, so that time can be really small for just a left chest or tag print.

Does your press show the pieces per hour you're running at with the flashback calced in?

Getting back on the RPM heads, to me it looks like a way around another companies patent instead of the flashes shuttling in and out the head does, Homer might have this right if it makes in the field somebody is going to get hit from carelessness.

Yes it does... it "knows" when a shirt is loaded and unloaded (not really, but it knows when you are SUPPOSED TO and assumes that you did your job).

What are you typically finding your pieces per hour to be when doing a P-F-P using the flashback, assuming a one color print? Normal size print, not a left chest, just a typical 10-12" print.

For us we would be somewhere slower around probably 12-14 dozen per hour using p/f/p.  It is quicker and easier to run "rapid strokes" and do 2 rotations.  Or even better run a second white screen.  When we run 2 white screens and run the flash in table up mode, and with that we have ran 16" long prints at 39 dozen per hour.

I'll have to ask the guys... We are pretty slow right now so they all asked to take off early and the bank account didn't mind.

It's not a speed demon by any means, even when not using the flash back... But it's plenty fast enough and certainly faster than manually printing.

That feels about right for us... I pretty much NEVER print and only stick my nose in there to show them who's boss (kidding).
