This morning I was setting up for a 5 color job.
One screen had a TINY 2pt outline, the design was butt registered, so there is NO room for error with alignment.
I burned 4 screens only to realize that the 5th one was not lining up. Film off.
Please check your transparancies for registration before you burn multi-colored designs.
I rarely check- I think I'd better start. 1-1/2hr mistake- at least.
Time is money, I just blew a bunch.
Yeah that sucks a lot. I always make my job harder when I get lazy and dont line things up or try to rush through it. I always have to tell myself to slow down and do it right the first time.
I use an Epson 3000. I had roll film loaded in- some cheap stuff I got off Ebay.
Somehow the seps didn't line up off the inkjet. Rarely happen, but sometimes with long roll film print jobs.
Just finished the shirts, less than 2 hrs printing 200pcs. More than 4 hrs fooling with screens and setting up. Not my best run. Picture looks good though.
Occasionally I'll have a separation that won't register. When I print out of Photoshop and use the registration marks, I'll get one diagonally from the top left that won't register. I think it might be some movement of the film in the rollers. I always take my first separation, tape it to my light table, then check the subsequent separations on it. No point in getting to press and trying to figure out why things won't register. I'm using an HP9800 and Chromopaque waterproof film output through Ghostscript.
Out Da Box...your NC customer here. The pictures look good. I can't wait to see them. Sorry about the registration issue. The design was made for offset printing. The next time we can add some trap to the job where you need it.
A big waste of time
