Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
*first actual forum post* WOOO!!I recently got a sample of T9 and I'm currently calculating burn times. I have PM'd a couple rad dudes on here and I have learned some stuff, so thanks to you guys.I have a Workhorse Lumitron LED as well so this is like the perfect thread. All I use is waterbase and discharge and I don't the fancy S meshes which seem to be pretty popular among some of yas. Just regular aluminum frames and some newman rollers with white and yellow meshes 86 up to 305. I was able to find a free exposure calculator on Anthem's site. Do you guys know of anymore free step wedge/exposure calculator vector images I could use with the one I have? I still use films and obviously have the glass on the unit.I successfully calculated my first 160 (white) mesh the other day and if anyone is familiar with the Anthem calculator (https://www.anthemprintingsf.com/Screen-Exposure-Calculator-s/216.htm). The last 3 rows looked decent so I got a range of 38-48 seconds. That may seem long to some of you but keep in mind I am still currently using KIWO 300 WR and those burn times are nothing less than 3 solid minutes. I will still be doing calculations for: 86, 110, 196/200, 230, 280, 305, and maybe 355. Again, NOT s-mesh.What are your burn times for some of these if you have a Workhorse LED unit?This T9 is probably going to be a permanent thing once I figure it out especially because of it's durability. I usually have to go through 2 or 3 screens if I'm doing a 1000 pc run. Having been browsing this forum the last week or two, I'm starting to get that I was half-assing some stuff or just plain not doing it right.I'm fairly new to the screen making process as my forte is just keeping the auto spinning. I recently got a new gig in which I do everything instead of just setting up and printing. I'll probably think of something else I wanted to ask after I post this but...oh well. Thanks in advance for any replies!
2. Though not totally inappropriate, this is far from being "the perfect thread" as it does not address your fluorescent exposure unit, but rather LED.
You are layering 2 pieces of film, which will have a doubled film dmax reading.
