M&R DTS and comment...

Well...we got our ST before Christmas but had to wait on the LED unit till after the show. (we purchased the unit seperatly for internal reasons) What we quickly discovered was that we were "exposure lite poor" the ST (3 head) is so fast, we simply couldn't keep up at our exposure. We have purchased more exposure units - not here yet (1-2 days out). Here is what happened today - one of our two exposure units broke!! NOW WHAT........!!

Well...the answer was so simple...just burn the screens in the sun!!   

I'm wondering why I even bought extra exposure units - LOL (we are in Las Vegas - 300 days of pure, intense, UV laden sunlight)
Our 110's are exposing at 34 seconds - dual cure, 2 over 2.

Thank You again to M&R for giving us solutions in ways even they did not see.

I spent the last almost hour on Saturday schmoozing (along with Binkspot Brian) with Winston Strickland, a former California beach bum.
One of our subjects was using the sun and Space Bags as bargain exposure units.

My dream has bee to build a shutter system exposure unit where the shutter works off an integrator.  It would be sweet, except for nighttime screen printing.

Also, getting sunlight inside might be a tricky thing for most shops, so it's an idea that sounds really cool in my head but would be a bitch to actually do.

I never quite understood why Frankenstein needed to raise the operating table to get it closer to the lightning rather than just running longer cables, but that's what you need, a system that raises the screen to an area with a cut out in the roof and ceiling, or at least an unfiltered skylight.

Ron the Exposure that broke, was that the new LED unit or your old exposure? Just curious.
Thanks,

Yeah, it sounds like one of your new units went down but I doubt that's the case.
