How to print information on static frames?

displaying that info in there as I noticed what was being reclaimed was suspiciously close to what we needed.

Haha, but that seems great! Why reclaim a screen you don’t need? I would love to reclaim exactly what we need plus a minimum quantity of each for emergencies and rush orders.

That was sort of the idea but "plus a minimum quantity" was the problem. Need to re-shoot the 8 color using all 305's?
Screens are half of the name of what we do, they should always be aplenty.
CBCB:
Yes I realized our inventory can’t exactly match what we use and 305 is a good example! But it’s an outlier. You do need a minimum amount of inventory but that doesn’t mean there is not a point of excess.
I try to remind myself that inventory isn’t the enemy - it’s Excess Inventory. We’re in trouble anytime we make more of something than what the customer needs. I agree we need plenty of them, but where is the bottleneck?
I want to shoot them as fast as possible from when they are paid for. And I think I want them ready for reclaim instead of ready for exposure. Screens do go bad once coated. Eventually. But they get harder to reclaim the longer they say as well you could argue.
So we can’t get rid of that bottleneck, but I often think about where it’s going to be. I’m leaning towards having them ready for reclaim.

The fun thing about bottlenecks is, you will ALWAYS have one somewhere.

What stretcher do you use? We might go back to stretching our screens in-house again.

I built one a long time ago, pneumatic and it works well. You can buy them on Ali express. If you want I can send you photographs and some technical info.
