Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
When we had our dback machine one operator we would print around 35 doz/hr..... If we were running a basic 1 color type job with a single stroke that would be around 40-45 doz/hr. I think for a single operator 35 doz/hr is a decent average to shoot for.
We run a Diamondback R-Series (8/6) and I was browsing the web and looking for literature with information about it so we can take better advantage of its features.Already found some valuable information about revolver mode (even though will still need to figure out how to set it up) but one I was really interested to know is SPEED!I feel we could push it SO much faster than we do right now. We're doing 15/20dz shirts an hour which is just not enough and I want to give my printer something to aim for in terms of speed. We're averaging 20dz on 1color jobs and 15/18 on any other type of job. One single operator running it.Anyone with information regarding speed/averages?

Under normal conditions the press operator has to use a lot of care when taking a "wet" shirt off the unload station, before laying it out flat on the dryer belt, which takes "TIME!" Change up the scenario to have the operator working with a garment that's been tacked off under the flash, and they can load (throw) the shirt onto the dryer from 3' away and get focused on loading the next shirt to print. if your operator can't shorten their cycle time by 1 to 1.5 seconds per garment, at an improved quality level I'll bare my bum in Bourke Street! (This reference will make sense to any Aussies on TSB)Good luck and keep us updated on your improved production numbers.
Born and grew up in Sydney Now base in Indonesia. I took a guess on Bourke Street because we don't have a famous street called Bourke Street in Sydney. ?Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk

We can not answer the question about wash fastness until we know what mesh count/ink type/squeegee blade/fabric type/etc you are using
