I'm sure that your target audience is not a bunch of grey haired screen printers that have been around since the beginning of "Silk Screening".
Thank you very much all of you. For both the praise and the criticism. Yeah like you said my target audience is not going to be veterans because I am defnitely not one. My background in screenprinting started with being a graphic designer at a print shop without ever having to print myself. So really I'm trying to learn as much as I can while passing that knowledge to people who might be at the same level. I'm hoping that takes some of the intimidation factor out of it. You guys are right about the "projector style" title. No jerkdom there at all. Now that you guys point it out, I'm realizing its really not a projector. I had been hunting down the name for this style of exposure unit because I know that there are professional units that are similar (but waaaay better). I actually did not realize there is an exposure system that ACTUALLY projects your image onto the screen while burning. That is seriously something I had never seen but sounds awesome.But seriously please never apologize for any criticism you give me. It only helps me to improve and I'm really grateful. You guys have given me a wealth of knowledge while I lurked over the years so thank you so much!
Just call it The Horizontal Shoestring. btw, if your ceiling mount included adjustable distance, this unit could be used for different sized screens, similarly to the separate head units on wheeled bases on the floor. These are typically positioned on painted lines predetermined to be correct for the common differently sized frames in use. Of course, with a worklight, exposure times from much further away could get quite long.
