Thanks in advance

I was wondering if there is any other alternatives.... i also checked out the site sponsors and saw equipment zone, has any body ever used them?

Thanks

What I'd like to be tested is to have you load the Epson Stylus 1280 driver for your 1400 and see how well it prints.

Looking in particular to see if the driver is compatible with the 1400 and print the same as the 1400 driver.

Why would I ask you to do such a thing?
Simple. I am under the assumption that it should print perfectly fine. So this will allow you to use the Epson StylusRip that supports the 1280, but not the 1400.

This will save considerable $$$ by using the Epson Rip with the 1280 driver instead of purchasing any of the other more expensive rip versions available.

Thanks,

First and foremost...I hate applying emulsion, because the soft corners get thick and messy (maybe more so with Shur-Loc panels than with mesh from a roll??).

Is there a technique behind dealing with loose corners when applying emulsion?? The "softer" corners just seem to invite emulsion buildup...and it annoys me! ]]> Screen Printing Equipment KaceMN http://www.t-shirtforums.com/screen-printing-equipment/t102140.html newman retensionable frame help http://www.t-shirtforums.com/screen-printing-equipment/t101940.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:44:56 GMT Hi Im new to screen printing I wanted to ask about newman retensionable frames, are there any down side to using these frames? after I am done using the frame and the artwork can I store the mesh and reuse it later when needed? can it it be put back into the newman frame for re tensioning? if so...

I wanted to ask about newman retensionable frames, are there any down side to using these frames?

after I am done using the frame and the artwork can I store the mesh and reuse it later when needed?
can it it be put back into the newman frame for re tensioning? if so how long would the mesh last? and how should I store it. ]]> Screen Printing Equipment smellvir http://www.t-shirtforums.com/screen-printing-equipment/t101940.html Micro Registration for Silver Press http://www.t-shirtforums.com/screen-printing-equipment/t101930.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:53:49 GMT Has anyone seen or used these on their silver series press?

I hope all is well with the screen printers out there!

Quick question: I'm looking to purchase a flash dryer. I would like to buy a 18x18 but I just dont have the money for that just yet. I figure that a 16x16 flash should be fine for now since i'm just starting up.

The question: Is a "oven" like heating element okay on the dryer. I have read that infrared does a better job but will the older models still serve my purpose? I'm looking to purchase one of these dryers:

any advice?
