I hate these advertisements. 120 dark prints per hour at what size? What quality setting? How many full passes?

I guarantee almost any white ink printer can do 120 dark prints per hour. I can load up 15 chest pocket platens on my Neoflex and do a 1 pass white at the lowest quality speed and run through them quickly.

Need to see the data before I recognize this as anything special.

On 3880 you will not print more than 40 - 45 a4 prints an hour of CMYK only. You can go a bit faster on 720x360 but quality drops down significantly.

The clue is in the description. 120 pieces not shirts. At Fespa they were printing small squares of fabric that could be many times up on a 40 x 60 platen.

We changed our tact on advertising the Hybrid as it confuses people who assume it is shirts, which you would as these are all mainly t shirt printers.

The speed will be x 30 to 40 passes per hour depending on the configuration, twin CMYK on any Epson DX5 based will be good at 720 x 360.

Before anyone asks the Hybrid does not use a carousel !

Hello Colin,

Actually, this is not true. When we are talking about pieces, we are talking about full t-shirts desings, not small desings. The whole idea with the combination of digital and screen printing is to utilize both technologies. The number 120 is 100% true, and it came after our tests. Of course, in order to make the best out of screen printing, you need to print quite fast with the screen (in order to keep it operational). How to achieve that? by using 3 texjet plus printers for the CMYK layers (the white is printed only with the screen printing machine). Taking into acount the times needed for applying the white paste/flashing, the time needed to print the respective CMYK layer and the curing of the colors, the real number that you can get is 120 for a standard-to-high resolution image and standard t-shirt design size.
The digital and screen printing combination obviously aims for the businesses that are into volume and mostly for the screen printers that are already in the market and need to extend their business in the digital ground.
So, the result is to get all the advantages of both technologies (big volume in less time and with much less cost), without its disadvantages.

Hello Kostas,

I see now. So your figures are based on using three printers making each print 90 seconds or one and a half minutes per printer. I thought you were using only one printer !

Thanks that makes perfect sense now.
