Re: Bigger transparency films

You'll want to call around, but some places like Fedex Office and Office Max can do 11x117" transparencies. If not them, look for a blueprint shop in your area. I got one transparency printed through the local blueprint/sign shop once, and an 11"x17" cost me $12. I said "never ag...

Re: is it even possible?

If you have multiple print heads, like on a normal manual rotary press, then it's easily doable: you would load one screen into one print head, and then the other screen into another and put whichever color ink you'd want in each screen. If you only have one print head though, that's a whole differe...

Re: Equipment order = placed!

No unboxing video to speak of, but I will be trying to post little notes and videos of everything in action once it's all up and running. I wanted to report-in though to say that everything arrived safe and sound! It *did* arrive a day earlier than I had anticipated, though. I contacted the destinat...

The Ranar DA-1616 in action

While the missus was out of the apartment for an hour or so, I decided to print-up some patches that I've been meaning to do. In the process, I decided to record a short, shaky video of my freshly-acquired Ranar DA-1616 forced air flash in action. What used to take around an hour of sitting hunched-...

Re: Degreaser to clean screens

I haven't heard any horror stories in regards to prolonged usage of Simple Green other than people often recommend to dilute it (or any other citrus cleaner) about 9:1 or 10:1 in water. I'd guess that would be so that it doesn't get so soapy that it's a nightmare to get it all washed off. I've been ...

Re: Old Ranar Rotary Press

You may want to give Ranar a call at 1-800-421-9910 and see if someone there might know more about the the upgradability of your particular unit :)

Re: Marketing

Great input, Casams, thanks for the info! So when you do "event sales" do you mean that you're there with another organization and printing on-site?

Re: Not using proper equipment?

I'd have to see a picture of your screen to know for certain what you mean, but I think I've experienced the same as well. I recently burned a screen which turned out to be underdeveloped, so I reclaimed, dehazed, and de-greased it. I never tried printing with it, but I can still see the outline on ...
