For some of us SP nerds who travel a bit. Different shops have different terms for the same thing. So....upon my recent completion of consultation to a large volume shop I have learned a few new terms.
I personally refer to changing off contact by raising the distance in increments from screen to substrate. At this plant, they say "lower", as they drop the platens rather than adjust via individual head adjustments.
Right away, I looked at the white ink buckets near press and noticed some were labeled 50/50 and some Poly. Turns out the 50/50 was a cotton custom mix and Poly was of course for well, you know.
When pulling a print that is more or less wet before sending before the dryer, I refer to it is a wet pull, subject to "snap back". Others apparently refer to it as "popping"
BTW who came up with the "burn" time for screens? It is all about exposure light and time, not heat!
