That's not a horrible vintage ;-) It's usable by age standards. If it happens from time to time, so be it- 13 months isn't as bad as it could get. The snapped butt cover and damaged vinyl would be my issue.

absolutely. there's a fine line between under and over exposed. how are you clearing the print after exposing the screen? Use an exposure calculator in varying times or do it the slightly less exact way- burn a few halftones on a few screens at varying exposure times- starting with an average...

really, really stupid question- how long are you allowing the screens to dry after applying emulsion, and do you have air movement in the space/dryer?

great advise, i forgot about that one... masked one for a month, pulled ink :(

Suggestion: 2 part diazo (get a cheap quart from atlas or red alert, just to test... we prefer Saati), check your exposure time (our 6-bulb is 8 min MAX), make sure the screens have been properly cleaned and DEGREASED.

I use R-Tape 4075-RLA conform series for everything, even print/plot applications. High tack, but releases easily without ink damage after install. Might want to check to see how the ink is curing before jumping for a new tape though.

Welcome from Tampa, FL!

Welcome back! Glad to see ya around!

2-0, is it time to start a Lightning thread?

try vipre, it's faster than avast, uses less resources and has great detection rates. also, if any program advertises that it cleans your registry- don't be an idiot! run away. most registry cleaners do more harm than help.

How about those amazing boys in blue! GO BOLTS!

Still up with an upset 2 week old (2 weeks today!), switched to Yuengling.

These are hilarious (even the old ones), the wife and I had a good laugh at em!

jelly.

Just got home, got a 6AM start tomorrow... but it's a mcclellands night.

I have informed our reps that we will no longer be buying 3m, we have samples of other materials to replace it on the way... Plus Oracal in-house ready to print/install.

that's actually... pretty re-assuring. still not changing my opinion on purchasing at the moment, but hopefully that's what we see.

Yes, this is America- the people here are expressing that their upstream manufacturer is entering direct competition and that the practice is not appreciated, so we're going elsewhere. They make the materials and obviously will have pricing cornered- with their pull, they will certainly have...

but this has been confirmed... (http://www.mfrtech.com/articles/13159.html among many others)

We've been transitioning to Oracal exclusively, only stocking 180cv3 and matching laminate for one broker/wholesale client.
