Are either of your plans using a single light source or are they both using multiple bulbs. I built a multi bulb box and now I'm reading all this stuff about under cutting. Any suggestions
Oh Im kinda new also but so far mine has worked great. It is a vacuum unit so it makes a great seal with the transparency. I use 10 2 ft tubes evenly spaced. There is a vidio on ebay you can buy that shows you a very good step by step way to biuld one. Cost a little more than 200 to biuld it.
Hope this helps some.
Hi I built mine 8 years ago with a single light source. I don't use a vacuum but weights and I also have a auto timer incorporated in the design. I can burn screens at the rate of about 1 every 11 min. with a 1000 watt halogen. It works good enough that I have run many process color jobs without a hitch.It works great if you don't run through tons of screens..Let me know if you need more info I'd be happy to share.

What is the distance from the light to the screen and do you put anything under the screen like foam? You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the unit would you? Last question I promise, when you say you have run process color jobs do you mean you have ran halftones.
mine is a vaccum unit sono i put nothing under the screen. I will take a picure of mine and get the measurements for you tomorrow but will need a e mail adress to send them to you. I will take a bunch of pics for you so you can see everything well.
Thanks,Brad

That would be great just send it to . Also if you can clue me into the type of light fixture that you are using that would be great.
sounds good I am using 5 2 tube 24 inch lights evenly spaced. I will get the info on the bulbs tomorrow when i go to my shop. I know they were about 6 bucks each at menards.
I built my own UV exposure unit using the plans from eepjon. They're still available via archive.org. They are meant for photography but I think they will work just as well for burning shirts. Can someone send me the link for making a vacuum frame? Thx. ~m
Home built exposure unit.....
