Forced to learn screenprinting
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 4:14 pm
So 4 years ago the boss bought a $20,000 embroidery machine and made me learn how to use it. Alone. No training. I managed to build a successful embroidery business. Now he wants to get into screenprinting. I am expecting the same thing. "here you go Tom, a shiny new screenprinting machine, now just learn how to use it". Before I get into the basics of screenprinting, I need to design the screenprinting room for a new building we are having built. Are there any special electrical requirements for a screenprinting machine? I am assuming we will start small, 4-6 colors approx. What about plumbing? Will I need a big wash-tub style sink? And what if any by-products of the process are hazardous and require special disposal? I thank you in advance for your help and stay tuned for lots more stupid questions from me.
