Or double index?
Except you cut your color count and flash ability in half I believe?   Voiding a pallet just tells the machine never to print or flash that specific pallet.  But the machine will still single index.  It really comes in handy if you’ve got some odd job that requires a bunch of stations or print heads.  Instead of buying say 36 or 18 pallets for an oval, or 18 or 9 pallets for a big rotary,  you can just by 3 or 5 or whatever and just void out all the other pallets.    We had an umbrella job that would come through twice a year that needed like 10 screens and 8 flashes. I think the umbrella pallets were like $900 each.  It would of cost a ton to buy a full set or even half a set.  I think this was on a 28 station oval so we bought 7 of them and then put them every 3 pallets.  It ran at a snails pace but it was good second shift work.
