Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Only on the automatics that do NOT have a pressure regulator on the front of the arm - will I ever touch the depth settings on the squeegee.If your press has a pressure regulator - keep the squeegee depth set at maximum and do ALL pressure adjustments with that front knob.That way EVERYTHING will read the same and there will never be confusion when re-setting up a job as to what pressure was used.When I, and many others, talk about pressure settings - it is always from the pressure dial on the front of the arm.Hope this helps

So to make sure I'm getting this the knobs on the front that are the main pressure adjust, does it control every head all at one time or just that individual head?
We will never change the depth of the squeegee blade.We will change the pressure according to the mesh/ink type/type of print (halftones vs. spot)/etc..I will go up to 40-50 pounds for sim process work.I will go up to 50-60 pounds for "vintage" thin ink deposits.I will be at 20-30 pounds for some top colors. But sometimes I need to go up to 40... it depends on how the ink is behaving...We are all a part of a craft industry. There is no Absolute right or wrong way to make things work.
