Doesn't this process hinge in being able to use this immediately after flashing?
Though not impossible to arrange, will most manual users have a flash unit right next to them for this?

Otherwise, the rolling pin without even bothering with a screen is not that crazy.

Yup, you could wrap a Teflon sheet around it too...

I hate to be the bad guy here but what in the world are the benefits of trying to use this device(even reworked)in a manual shop.. would the results really outweigh the time, effort to use this tool? will it help generate higher profits?

Smoother base coats
Improved detail in top colours
No need to heat press for fussy customers
Nicer finished product on ring-spuns and fleece

would the results really outweigh the time, effort to use this tool? will it help generate higher profits?

Both of those depend on the execution, but you're probably right to wonder. It would be easy to make it an extra step that you don't get paid for if you didn't sell it or execute it correctly.

Obviously the benefit would be to match the quality of the same print being produced in a shop equipped with an auto and a roller/smoothing screen set-up.
The execution, as I pointed out, could take a little more work in positioning the flash. We already accept the fact that unlike an auto, a manual requires proportionally more work for more colors.
This is just one more step.

Hi all - sorry I dropped out early yesterday. It was time to watch football. After hearing your input, we think the application of the roller squeegee to manual printing is not going to yield consistent appreciation from our customers. We are going to therefore put it on the very back burner. We're moving to other ideas to develop. Thank you gentlemen for your valuable insights. We should employ some type of incentive to the fine people here who offer there expert opinions. Any expert advice on that?

Happy New Year to you also Tony!

We won't be making presses anytime soon. There are companies doing a really great job with that already.
Some of those are our best customers and we don't compete with our customers.
There's still plenty of fun to be had focusing on our current areas of interest.

I think a Teflon rolling pin is the answer no screen involved, I wonder if those plastic ones that claim to not pick up the dough would work? Maybe a trip to the bakery shop is in order.

Worse case scenario if it doesn't work, you go make some cookies!

Yes - but because the key to the process is rolling it quickly with lots of pressure & while it is still hot - it seems like the fatigue issue and other logistics prohibit the use. I wouldn't want to do it...I think we should let that one go. Many people have mentioned it, but I just really can't see it working consistently.

Thanks for any response.

Don't like the handles on the outside, but if you want this thing to work on manuals use a manual squeegee handle and some kind of clutch to adjust the roller speed movement.  Free roller movement would make this thing roll way to fast and cuz Moose to fall on his face.
