Alright I gotta know... Digital Squeegee questions...
« on: January 20, 2017, 11:18:16 PM »
For those of us who couldn't make it down to LA...

Digital squeegee...

Does it work on carousal presses? Only see it on strikers..

When is it available?

What costs are we looking at? Feel free to PM me..

Max print size?

I'm excited. this looks like a game changer..

I'm sure others will chime in but...It is very new and some growing pains are sure to come with it.

Looks to me, as of now you would need the striker to accommodate the unit.

It was VERY impressive....And this could be a game changer...The quickest unit of its kind I've ever seen. Running at 450-500 an hour ( what M&R said it's running speed is )

$500k price tag.

Did anyone happen to see what the cure temps and times were on the ink?  THe machine itself is a game changer to the industry and in my mind would cut back on the need for employees

Rich showed me a prototype of this at the Indy show last year.
Will give Kornit a run for the money.
And it only cost the same as a starter house in California.

I would think for fleece you'd need to hot roll after the base print to get the same smooth surface as a tee and the reduce the chance of head strikes.

I think it will make it harder for smaller shops to compete at some point, as the big well financed operations can run the small, many colored designs much more quickly. Perhaps it would mean the smaller shops find a niche instead of being everything to everyone. As I approach retirement, (5 years or so) and want to be able to sell a going operation instead of a customer list, paying attention to the upcoming technologies is pretty important...

The pricing can be had by PM, 500k is incorrect for just the DS.
Cure temps are standard for HSA inks in the screen at the show.
We were running 320 for 1:45-2 min at the show.
It will run at standard production speeds.
Lots more info to come in the near future!

It's not a direct replacement for Kornit as you have to set up screens (I believe 3 total screens) and print with this.  It makes a higher quality product but it's not a 1 off / print anything on demand type thing.

Very impressive for 100+ shirt runs for sure.  Expensive too...

Are you F'ing kidding me, 500k, yeah big shops would have to take every little job and big job to get ROI in time, but I still don't see it taking out smaller shops DTG hasn't done it yet, but looks like to me they are trying LOL.  Maybe our customers are right hey can you go back there and hit that button and print me one shirt with every color under the sun and I'll pick up after lunch ;D
