I personally think that video was more like it. The closeup pic has some loss of edge definition due to either poor EOM or the double stroke can do that if your pressure is a bit high. I didn't see near as much bend in the blade and less ink leftover behind the stroke. What did you think of the prints compared to last week?
Sharp squeegees are pretty important.Buy a roll of squeegee material and get to it. Can't be neglecting one of the most important tools in the process.
First point: GET RID OF THAT RUBBER!It must be ancient and probably poor quality, I never seen squeegee get so bad its tearing, not here any ways because we replace it as needed.
Two things I noticed tho in your video, one is that your flood stroke is bottoming out at the end and knocking into what ever is at the end of the linear rail,, that could spell disaster for registration and probably hard on the mechanicals. To me it appears you shoot your art work to high up in the screen. Which then causes you to have to go as far as you have to do with the flood. You have nothing else in that screen so lower your art work down another inch at least.
A quarter inch OC wow not good dude.
Well the "orange-ish" squeegee that is on press right now (in the video) is the "new one", I think we replaced it last February so it's probably a year old.....is that too old... and what does the term "Sharp squeegee" actually mean? Just that is has a "crisp" edge as in not "rounded"?Nick
