If any of your past posts are an indication, you have a lot of exits. 

I recommend waiting until the very last shirt of the day exits.

GraphicDisorder:
I feel like we are way to hot.  But I could be wrong.  I had 2 pullers the other day and we where running about 60dz and hour and they both had blisters in no time flat from pulling the shirts. 

Temp gun has been dropped a few times and I think its also reading "low" now.  It's shows we are low, but the shirts are way hotter than they used to be when we used our little dryer, I know that has to do with the length the garment is being heated and such but I still think we are high. 

shellyky:
crazy logic question: Does a long chambered gas dryer "saturate" the whole shirt with heat, vs. a short electric dryer just hits the top?

I can barely touch the shirts --that is not normal, right?  i think im having a weird transition from electric to gas and getting my feel for "done" considering the ink deposits are now thinner with the auto vs. manual so they come out soft and im not used to that either.  i have a hard time in my head with soft does not equal still wet.

squeegee:
We have a donut probe and it's great to have, especially since we are relatively new to discharge and water base.  Plastisol is time tested for us, so we don't always need it because we know where we have to be on dryer settings, but with a big variable like a discharge under base I wouldn't want to be without it.

OK

Maybe I've become so simply its turned simplyminded.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
