More questions for S Roque users

[ol man]

Ok, it seems a little snugger on mine but I can do it. Thanks for the video! Huge help.

Next dumb question, how do you turn on the lasers? I'm not seeing it in the manual or seeing where it is on the control panel.

-Yes, I truly am helpless.

After watching the video, quick question- are the roq floodbars angled to properly fill the ink well ? as oppose to the "standard " angle of floodbars which typically just drag ink across the top of the stencil?

I'm looking at the flood/stroke menu. Is it possible to set it up to flood, print, print? As opposed to flood, print, flood, print?

[Ryan]

no. I asked when I first got it and they said no. doesn't mean they won't do it at some point, but as of now, no

That's too bad. With all the different flood functions on the menu you would think that would be an option.

I just finished printing my first job on the press. Just a simple one color black ink job. Runs really smooth. I really like loading and unloading with the pallets not coming up and down.

I really like loading and unloading with the pallets not coming up and down.

That is almost addicting if you ask me. After getting use to that, I honestly don't think I would ever buy another machine that raised and lowered the tables.


As far as the double print thing, you can kind of do it... You can lower head and print, flood(with head lowered), print again, and fold and lift the head after. 
I don't think there is really a machine out there that could flood, print, print. After a print stroke the print carriage needs to return to the front to print again. On that return it kind of floods by default.

Hi, good morning,

At least for us here in Portugal.
Well I looked at your question and just went down to the assembly and asked about it.
It is possible. I am sorry for the quality of the video, I just had my cellphone with me. If there is the need I can send the steps in the menu to do this.
You can do flood, print, print, or print, print, flood.

I hope this helps and if any other question arises please contact me.

Keep ROQing!!!

@ nvenda, very neat action there but would not printing in both directions cause a misprint or out of registration?  I do like the concept of getting two print strokes in one stroke if that is what I thought I saw or seeing in the vid.

I don't think that is the way "WE" want it. I think (at least what I wanted way back) was FLOOD - PRINT - flood stroke without actually flooding - PRINT. essentially a 2 complete strokes (front and back) but only flooding 1 round and not the second.

Humm, ok, @Ryan I see your point and it kinda goes with the idea of @3Deep.
So let me see if this is more of what you are looking for:

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

That setting is there. I think we are trying to do so its not actually flooding ink on the second pass, just a second print. You would have to program the squeegee/flood carriage so that it its raised to a neutral point where neither the flood or the squeegee is at the mesh. the carriage would just move back to the print location and just print again. Does that make sense?

@Ryan: So if we understand what you want to do is, flood, print, move back the carriage with out flooding or printing and print a second time without ink on the screen.
Being so, and as I am not a printer I do not understand the theoretical advantage of doing this process. Can you help me understand what are the advantages/objectives of this technique?

Keep on ROQing!!!

I am not sure I understand the need for that either. Am I missing something?

[Ryan]

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.
