Tell that to my crew, we only have infrared flashes, so heat builds up too much and then the inks will be tacky on the bottom of the next screen or so hot that we have dry in issues.
I know that you can do the wet on wet method with multiple screens but we haven't perfected that yet, we still take 3 screens to do a white we feel is good quality.
The struggle is real, but... real worth it in my opinion. Next time you're in Portland come teach us the best method, we probably need to "science" our inks better as well, not using S thread currently, come give a seminar, Homegrown Smoker on me!

There is already air in the arms / squeegee holders, seems like to add some holes on the bottom of the flood bar and a valve to turn air on wouldn't be that difficult. Flip the valve to have air spray, and set your flood bar stroke speed. Could even have the valve open and close so it's only spraying air while moving.
We have some copper "sprayers" that were built to use compressed air but have to have a separate air line hooked into them. Also surprised Action doesn't make something like this or I'm missing it?
These are more for cool down that lint sprayers. Also could use the air pressure to possibly make a vacuum that could vacuum up lint in a similar "attachment"
We don't have this issue much, but as we do more HSA, not having large enough presses for cool downs becomes more of an issue. Who's gonna drill holes in their presses to prototype?
