"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Getting the Ink solid helped a lot, I now know what my correct exposure time is. I checked the glass and it is the original or appears to be. I have yet to check the voltage, that is the next step. The exposure time on it is 81 LTU on white 180 mesh with SP-1400 emulsion. Going to have to get a new lamp for it ASAP as 81 LTU is a burn time of 9:20. So either the voltage taps are incorrect or it is in serious need of a lamp.Pierre I wil try out the T-rip, but that means breaking out the windows machine, and Windows hasn't made a good OS since XP as far as i am concerned. But if it lets me do custom film size it would be worth it. I didn't see where I can do custom Film sizes with Accurip, unless the paid version adds that feature.
1 LTU should ~= 1 second.I can't remember if the integrator has an adjustment or not, but something is way off.
I am using the Glisten method, shirt side first, rounded edge of coater, nice and slow, then one coat squeegee side the same, 2nd coat shirt side. Dry in rack shirt side down. Just got done ruining some shirts, going to check the voltage taps shortly.

I can expose two screens at a time, and when i pull them off i have enough time to wash both screens out, dry them, and take a break before the next set of screens are exposed. I think its either a voltage issue or lamp issue at this point. I appreciate all the advice, Thank you Pierre for pointing me towards a Rip, that was definitely one major issue I had. Films are printing like a champ now at least.
I opened the Expo unit up and the wiring has been worked on some, lots of splices. I will have to contact M&R to see if I can get a wiring diagram for it.
