Don't get yourself committed to this until you try it. My 60 years experience duing this type of work say's it won't work. Think about this, plastasol inks are for giving, you can take a coffee break with a wet screen and the ink won't dry in the screen, the ink you will be using is sollvent based and is fast drying, you need to make at least 4 prints per minute, that one pass every 15 seconds, you have to load 20 parts into register, make one pass with the squeegee, flood the screen, remove the 20 pieces ;aying them out to dry and then re-load 20 more parts, you have to do all that in 15 seconds. I could'nt do it. You will have some pieces that won't lay flat, you won't have a vacuum to pull them down, this will more than likely rip the screen. These inks dry by removing the solvents with air movement, your shirt dryer won't work. If your comitted to this, I would suggest printing just one at a time, 100 pieces would be only about a 20 minute job. Just check every thing, dont get your self in trouble. When the big production starts, the plastic will probably be furnished in a larger size, then printed 20 up and them cut apart. My 100 unit price I stated on my first reply would be devided by 20. | |
