Dunk tank issues,etc.....
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 8:14 pm
Ok, i have been printing for about seven years, in all professional enviroments, no at home deals.
The last year or so i started using a tank for reclaming, after a month or so it would start not taking the emultion off, so over time i made a lid. Problem solved. now withing a day or two, mind you the temp dropped from70 to 30, it quit taking off the emultion completley. I use ulano (pink), btw, what i have always used. Before this method i had the cleaner in a spray bottle and did this for years. Why would it just stop working?
next, i own a shop and work at another. My boss has become vey impatient as to speed on manual printing. he has only printed for 7-8months w no knowledge of printing before hand,
Recently i had to do 150 beach towels, 3 over sized prints on each towel, 2 colors each by hand. I only needed 110 mesh screens or lower, but was only provided with 230's. its taking me 4, 6 hour days to print by hand, wet wet, and mixing the ink by the quart, by hand, for every 20-30 towels or so, am i going slow? Or is my boss expecting to much???
