Thanks Frog, I knew that I thought he might have known something new I didn't, but you know how fleece is, the build up kills the tack in a round or two.

I'm sure it's different for me since I am printing on a manual with only 4 pallets to changeover, but changing tape really doesn't take very long usually.  I use textac, and for hoodies I can maybe get two printer per pallet before they are shifting like crazy, and thats assuming the glue is fresh and really piled on.  I just think the time involved in cleaning pallets every two pieces is more than changing the tape at the end of a run, but again that's for my setup.

MHM's are 12 pallets and I thought took forever but now the ROQ is 16 and it seriously seems like forrrreeeevvvvvveeeerrrrrr.

We have a set of 14" pallets that generally stay "fleece ready" but of course up comes 16" prints and sleeves. It's like keeping backstock.

We are flashing for that matter using two flashes, so how does that help?
it keeps the pallets warm and the tack stickier as Andy already mentioned..I do like and use the 3m 77. It is the best out there even though its more expensive it works so good you spray less so the yield makes it actually cheaper. And as we all know less spraying means cleaner presses, floors and lessens paper changes.
