Here is some crappy pics of our shop. Need to take some better ones with the DSLR, but this will do for now.

Can't leave wb ink on the squeegees so mine get washed, dried and stacked.
screen opener will remove the lint buildup! (and lotsa other stuff, make sure it's not dissolving the paint!)pierre

Yep its the 54". We stack three wide on it if necessary to keep up, tho i think we topped it out at about 700pcs an hour on the new press. I think that is adequate for us rarely would we ever need to print faster than that. Other than that its a fantastic dryer for the price, tracking is perfect!
i used a citrus solvent on it before but it ended up smearing the logo on the leg - i guess it was too powerful so i stopped. i'd like to give it another shot of cleaning though--thanks for the link!!

We advertise 500/hr, it's great to hear of that high of numbers!! We need someone with one of our new BigRed's to try and max it out like that!Quote from: shellyky on April 27, 2011, 03:56:18 PMi used a citrus solvent on it before but it ended up smearing the logo on the leg - i guess it was too powerful so i stopped. i'd like to give it another shot of cleaning though--thanks for the link!!Anything you see screen printed on our equipment is an air dry ink. It really does not hold up well to any solvents. Unfortunately, the powder coated metal isnt' the easiest thing to get a durable logo to stick to. The rest of the machine should hold up well to the cleaning solvents though. Definitely be sure to grease all of those micro knob threads, and put some oil down the center shaft. Also, watch out for the gas shocks. Getting spray tack on them will prematurely wear them out. The spray tack builds up on the shaft and then blows the seal out. I've seen people cut the fingers off of latex gloves and use them to protect the shaft of the gas shock.
@ Alan & Graphic Disorder, nice looking shop dudes and dudette!
