I know there have been past posts about the Xpress Screen making system but I guess I'm looking for some updates. If you use the system or know of anyone currently using it, I would really appreciate some input. I'm not sure if this is a good way to go or if I should just use the traditional screen making methods. Seems like it cuts a lot of prep time out but I'm concerned with the quality of the screens.

Thanks!

Im also keen to know a bit more. I dont think you can reclaim the screens at all, but it would be worth it if all goes well and you dont mess up with the artwork to begin with and get the process right. I was thinking of shipping one in, but obviously dont want to be sitting with something I cant use.

We have an XEF913 and have really enjoyed its simplicity and speed.

Can you reclaim screens? Well, they aren't traditional screens, so no you can't. We typically only keep a screen for a specific run, then peel off the material and trash it. Clean up is a breeze! And making another screen takes like 5 minutes.

We own one but haven't used it successfully. It does create the screen as advertise but our problem is we get a lot of pin wholing, etc. Our screens also broke down fast but could be due to the fact we were doing shirts in a garage (no air) and this material used for making screen is heat sensitive.

We've never actually found success with it but again it does create the screens well you just need to make sure there is NOT dusk, particles etc. that can cause pin wholing.

I have recently found an alterative idea thou that i've tried and got no pin wholing. I saw it on you tube a few months ago. It allows you to use a traditional screen and some vinyl.

NOTE: I do not own a us cutter and i don't sell them nor am i affiliated with the maker of the video it just caught my eye since i have a cutter and gave it a try. You don't need to own their cutter.

Would like to know if it works good and if it is worth my time. Haven't used the system and nor have I priced it. Is it decently priced?

Thanks,
Troy

Decently priced is relative, isn't it?

Actually, like I stated, we have an XEF913 (the larger unit) and a roll of the screen material and the screen frames. We are currently switching our business focus, and will soon have the unit for sale.

I liked the unit quite a bit for it's simplicity and function.

I have been looking at this equipment for over a year,i see they have made a new way to make screens. I'm looking still. I think it is a lot of money for the results, I have heard about. I talked to 3 shops that have it and only 1 was happy. ... JB
