See, we need a like button.
lets see if I can better explain what we do.......6 black shirts with ub white, 1 top color (red) + finish white
load 6 shirts
print station is at 6:00 o-clock
flash station is one index left
all screens are loaded and ready to print
UB White on #1 shirt advance one index #1 shirt is now at flash station, we introduce the flash while we print #2 shirt
Flash remains at swing in position for all 6 shirts flashing each shirt as we print the following shirt
shirt #1 has cooled on round trip returns for red print... the sequence repeats while flash remains at swing in position
shirt #1 returns for finish white while flash hitting #6 with last red print
One index moves #1 with all colors finished to flash station
AT THIS POINT WE PULL THE FLASH OUT
finish shirts 2 thru 6
unload all to dryer
Start all over again...........
So as you can imagine the flash is at the SWING IN position for two complete print color cycles
At the timing we typically print I would be handling the flash more than the squeegee.
We have never done it any other way on multi color jobs or one color PFP jobs, and I have never been successful at wet on wet anything except a big mess.
