It's odd having equipment that gets cleaner from the time it entered your shop. My press is almost there.

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

Where did you get that squeeze holder from?? I could really use a couple.
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

Ryonet has these a bit cheaper and with multi discounts.

I don't use them myself. 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!)

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!

Wow!! 700/hr!?  That's great! 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!

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!!

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.

Hey Mike glad to see you on hear. This is Tee It Up over in Connecticut.

You get 700 an hour but thats small to medium size prints and layered three wide on the belt, it takes a good unloaded as well to do it.

Alan802,
What kind of building is that?  How expensive is something like that to have built?  Is that one of those pre-fab metal buildings?

Thanks for posting those pics by the way. interesting to see.
