I can't even believe I'm about to ask this. I should be flogged.
anyway.
Our 3 year birthday is coming up in a few days.
We've been BBB accredited since September.
We average about 300 shirts daily monday through saturday.
I flip about 75 screens a week.
and i have NEVER, I mean N.E.V.E.R. done an on press color change.







I use primarily roller frames on my manual press. and typically when clients want a color change, i just do two screens. one for each color. My screen making process is so dialed in, its just faster and easier to make another screen, than it is to stop production to perform a color change.
well, tomorrow I'm doing a job, that has 4 color front, 4 color back. AND they are doing a color change TWICE during the run. That'd be 24 screens. I have too many other jobs lined up tomorrow, to tie up 24 screens just because they want a color change.
I have a bottle of Franmar Color Change sitting here. it's just never been opened.
so... can't seem to find any definitive steps or even better, videos, on doing an onpress color change.
i would assume, card the ink, wipe down with color change, and apply new ink.
but i just know, i KNOW it can't be THAT easy.
any advise?
thanks
