LOL, still haven't touched a micro!....... Dave, my ch3 press hasn't seen a spot color job since last weds LOL....... We have run 13 sim process jobs in a row on that press!

What is a spot color job like?  We do like 1 a week if that at times.

Most of the work we do is for Minor and Major League Baseball, as well as a number of other leagues. Tons of designs using team logos of course. Can't control how many colors a team has in their logo, we just do it. And of course they are all spot color. Butt register. There are some team logos that have eight colors in them. Ugh.

Got an 8 color, spot, all colors touching for...wait for it...10 shirts.  They're paying for it and we're making money so I guess that's all that counts.  Last week had one almost identical like this one that gave us fits.  Hope this one goes better but there are two browns that traditionally haven't played well when WOW printing so I'll hold my breath.  But good news is it's only 10 pieces so if we have to flash after every color we can still print the job in 5 minutes.

Just finished an order for a Science fair. 6 orders 10 pcs each all black tee's. The best part 3 color spot two locations on each. Full Front Full back naturally so in the end for sixty shirts it was 36 screens. All the money was in screens on this job.

8:30 and we have done 3 setups today so far..... Still haven't touched a micro  :o :o :o and ch3 still hasn't seen a spot color. Getting ready to put up an 11 color spot color but registration though on the press here shortly so that will be a good one to see how it does, maybe I'll take a video of the registration if we get time

Low tack additive is your best friend with browns and picking up on WOW prints.

I haven't had any in a while and have used process base exclusively for any ink alterations.  When I did use it on the older inks we have it didn't have much of an impact but on the newer inks it works great.  I need to buy some, thanks for the reminder.
