Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Al, do you guys use tape on ALL screens or just wb? we only tape on wb screens. wider scoop coater on the plastisol screens = no tape....I can justify spending a bit more on tape for wb if we don't go through a yard on every screen we make. we use 3" wide paper tape here too.
I remember someone mentioning that they use a permanent blockout for the edges of the frame and then use a scoop coater that overlaps the blocked out area. I wanted to try something like that to avoid tape all together.
So to bring up this thread again....We had PMI split tape send us a sample pack two weeks ago with their 3 lines. We used them up right away and got a few more to test, I have to say I like their stuff. It is without a doubt more expensive, but it is real nice stuff. It seems like it is easier and quicker to work with, but is it worth the extra $$$? Seems like it holds up better with discharge and when cleaning screens to change colors. Are a lot of people using it? Or have people found that it really isn't worth the extra coin in the long run? It just seems to me like the ease and small amount of time saved may justify the cost.Thoughts?
Where'd you get the dispenser?
wait a second..you are worried about tape? really who worries about tape costs? oh that's right people running the F**KING BUSINESS.
