Cool down after flash

[3Deep]

I know some companies have units out that will cool a flashed white besides having an open pallet after the flash, what I'm looking for is a cool down and print on the same head much like flashing and printing on the same head anyone got something like that, or what do you do besides cycle around twice them print your top colors.  The best answer would be to buy a press with more heads and pallets, which is not always what some of us can do or have the space for, so I'm not looking for those answers

The flashback on Tuf machines is the only one I know about. Anatol had one, but it was a flash between heads
that then indexed backwards to print again. They might be able to upgrade your press software to do that for you.
Would drive me nuts if I was loading though....

sounds like you are wanting as flash back that workhorse sells for its auto presses

He wants to be able to quickly reduce the heat on the flashed image and then print in the head right after the flash.

So no cooldown spaces.

I remember there being these tube fans that would connect to the bars holding the print head stable and blow constant air angled right up against the screen that would keep the platen cooler... But you don't have any print head support bars do you?

Otherwise, I remember the mister that would spray silicone on the print as it cycled from under the flash....

Would this be for right after the white base or after flashing of colors?

No I'm wanting to cool a flashed white print right after it's flashed so I want have an open pallet for a cool down, does that make sense

Sorry posted while you where posting, but yes you are correct Colin

On our small gauntlet, we stuck a box fan in between the heads with some coroplast directing the air flow. As it indexed, it took a lot of the heat out of the print. It didn't cool it completely, but it made it so we could safely print the next head.

Whoever purchased Ken's Anatol got a Q Runner.  See if you can find that one.

look up the Koolmist on our site

Put one of these: http://scene7.targetimg1.com/is/image/Target/11153981?wid=480&hei=480 on a stand so it sits between heads an inch or two above the pallet as it rotates.

Like this.  Works best on the Challenger III but also works on the table lifting machines.  You either need to run a double stroke on the first head or a slow flood to give it time to cool.

I have successfully used the same system as Lizzard.

Sonny I'm not looking for another flash just a way to cool down and print on the same pallet much like Lizard vid showed.
