Anyone done comparisons between wax units?

Is the drum you guys are talking about the same basically as the pusher frame on our I-image?

Yes.

The only reason to have a drum is for those using lower tension screens / To get the print head UP AND AWAY from possible head strikes. 

The downside of the drum is that it can distort the mesh causing registration issues.

It was many years ago, but when we got our machine, I had a machine shop grind my drum down. It was too "high" and not even. I had higher tensions back then, and there were times the (old style) clamping device would pop open. Not good. Anyway, machined the drum to where I wanted it and still running strong.

I have time tomorrow for a phone call if you would like. I'd spend all night on here putting my thoughts down so if you have time give me a call tomorrow.

Our Douthitt CTS30 prints bidirectional (purchased new last November).. I'm not a fan of the touch screen unless your operator is strictly imaging and not doing the wash out. Wet fingers don't mix well with touch screens, or the little track pad on keyboard.

A touch pen will do the trick.
