S.Roque Sleeves

[DannyGruninger]

I really don't know why Ryonet or Action don't have any interest in our design. They work amazingly well for long sleeves, short sleeves, on pocket, koozies, you name it. Over pallet arm load or threaded. We aren't engineers. I would think they would be able to improve on our design *shrug*

Can you post a photo of your sleeve pallet design?

I have to agree.  Had an excellent chat with your shop's owner about them and with my rep at the time at ryonet.  It seemed like the lowest tech and most straightforward approach in my eyes- run as standard sleeves or remove spacer/bracket and thread.  Only drawback I saw to this design was the tooling being naturally higher than regular tooling which can be problematic for fleece and off contact, depending.

How does, say, thick hooded fleece do on them?

They are the same thickness at the standard roq pallets so no need to adjust off contact. Printing hoodie sleeves sucks no matter what pallets you use

1/2" Stock with rubber. 4" tapering back to 5" where the first bracket is mounted. We have been using these things for a while now and  can one stroke all colors with very little pressure and no reg issues from deflection (which is minimal when threaded) on multi color prints.

Is deflection much of a issue?

The only thing I could see being a issue is you have to make damn sure the top of the arm on your press is CLEAN. Great idea though! And you guys are not interested in making them for sale?

[ZooCity]

Deflection is going to appear regardless of the design to keep the low profile.  The dual outboard we have has some deflection but it's minimal as I'm sure this threadable one is.   Doesn't impact prints that we tested on.

[1964GN]

Yes, if you are going to thread you need to make sure it's clean under there. We clean them when we change pallets. Since we do it fairly often they don't get very dirty

Deflection is minimal but it is there. Again, multi color prints register just fine for us but we don't tend to do many jobs like that. Squeegee height and pressures are adjusted as needed. Usually up and way back since we haven't purchased small squeegees yet.
