As a side note, I would think that a smoothing station could work as a cool-down station too, the direct contact with the ink may even help cool down things even faster. A small fan blowing on the top of the screen could help keep the screen/teflon from holding heat.
Anyone have close up pics of rolled and unrolled prints? And which white ink they used? I guess I'm still skeptical lol

Action Engineering Roller SqueegeePause the video at exactly 6-7 seconds for the best before rolling picture.Pause the video at exactly 1.23 for the best after rolling picture.Do you see the difference?
Is it worth trying if we already have a smooth ink deposit? Just asking to see if those that are doing it do so because of a rough print or does it make an already smooth print that much better? I'll give anything a try but I'm hesitant because we rarely run into a need for a smoother print, only on sweats do we have an issue sometimes. Blue, are you saying to run the smoothing screen after everything is printed or is everyone smoothing directly after the underbase?
