second print to clear the screen...sometimes. Not so much to put down more ink, but at times to just clear what might not have cleared the first time. I am assuming that is what Shane is looking to do, I could be wrong, but I was inputting my thoughts as to the question that was asked.
Ryan

Well in our machines if you configure them correctly you really don't have the need to clean the screen. But I agree, let's wait for @Shanarchy to see what he meant and if there is another answer with a function in our machines.

Keep on ROQing!!!

Ryan nailed it. A second stroke to clear the screen.

Agreed, the right way to do it is to set it up so you are single stroking everything. Double stroking is usually more of a bandaid for something that isn't set up correctly (mesh count, pressure, angle, etc). But sometimes you do end up double stroking. I'm pretty sure that in most cases, you probably don't really need to double stroke, but just throw the extra dry stroke after to clear the screen without putting down more ink. Just thinking aloud.

Hi,

We are looking into your words and it sounds as you work mainly manual. Is it the case? or do you run an automatic? For our machines, from our experience and the feedback from our customers, you really don't ever need a second stroke to clean the screen. It's super easy to configure and easy to find the right combination for pressure and/or angle. And I believe it is so for most automated machines in the world. Well it's the basic for any decent automatic machine. If you go into a run of 100.000k or a Million or 1.000 or 100 pieces, you can't really be worried if the screen is clean or not. You just need to make the proper setup and load the shirts on the machine and in the end, count the ca$h :D

Keep on ROQing!!!

They would need to add a line to the PLC to make that happen.  Essentially what they want is to flood then print and then come back for a second print without the floodbar actually lowering to flood
