High Speed White on Roq

[DannyGruninger]

Since the gallery is screaming that you cannot print fast sheering ink on a roq due to the single pivot squeegee I figured a quick video would prove otherwise. Nothing special here, standard block style print using good mesh, good ink(new wilflex white from ryonet), good blades, proper off contact, etc....... I only have one operator on the press so the indexing is delayed otherwise this print would run 1000+ pcs per hour easily.

Squeegee speed is maxed out on both the underbase and the top white.

nah dude,  we turn ours up to 12!

Like you mentioned already, the stroke speed look great.

I recently saw one run at 1092 per hr. That was a 1 Clr black ink on an M&R tho.

What mesh,
What squeegee?
what  squeegee angle?
What off contact?

Our squeegees go  to 99. WB only though.

Danny our Eco maxes at 1600/hr, are the new ones faster than that?

The Eco1600 is the fastest one right now, our eco here is a 1200 model but we can run 1000 pcs per hr on it often.

Good to hear, I don't have to be jealous now.

We hit 1600 for just a minute the other day. Small LC.

Seriously,

What mesh?

What off contact?

Reason being, I want to see if what you are doing matches up to what I was telling some people they should do.

This job was done on 150/48 thin thread mesh - 25 newtons

Squeegee is single duro 75
Angle of blade is around 8 degrees
Off contact is 2mm
Wilflex white yet to be released

White looks very white and smooth. Much brighter (like perfect)  than what I had recently seen done on a regular 156 base and top white using a 70/90/70 at vertical angle at 1/8th" OC.

so both the 150 S mesh and this ink offer great results.

Liking the white better than the synergy?

Yeah I will say if we were printing this on a regular 156 mesh we would be running half the speed and the print wouldnt look near as good...... Mesh in my opinion plays a HUGE roll. We still have some standard 156/160 mesh in our shop here and I literally cringe when I see a job on that mesh. Using standard mesh is like trying walk with your feet tied together LOL

Nice.  150s for base and hilites?

Yeah

What is your pressure set at?
If I could actually get the dip out of the front of my pallets fixed we could run it maxed at as well, but since we are not parallel we have to compensate and slow down a bit.

Our air pressure is right around .3 and our depth adjustment is set at 3mm from 0........
