Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I don't think it's a faulty product, it's probably misuse. When was the last time you changed the blades?
Of course Nick... you still need to make sure that your meter is actually up to snuff.You might have perfectly fine screens (for statics) and your meter sucks... don't get in a rush to bad mouth the supplier yet.BUT, if your meter is functioning... then as Ricky always said "Lucy!!!..."
You are visiting a shop soon correct? Find out if he has a meter and if he does take yours and compare readings on one of his screens, atleast that will rule out wether you have a meter that needs to be calibrated.
That should have been top of your list Nick... that's where all this started. Foo... the tension levels he is talking is below that right out of the box!
Ok so I have some more info in my arsenal now, thanks to Danny for giving me the mini tour of his shop last night and providing me with some good feedback/info!!!We did check my meter with his and mine was off but only by 2n higher than his, so those screens that measured 10-12n were actually 8-10n....I also got to see/feel a true "ink gasket"! And while ours has gotten better it's still nowhere near where it should be. Same with the squeegee blades......those are bad!!!The owners are away at some trade show in Denver for the next couple of days so when they get back I think I need to have a talk with them, at least about the screens and go from there....Thanks again Danny!Nick
