Getting Ready To Print?

Post by Catspit Productions »

Are you getting ready to set up a print job yet? Well if you are I have a few articles and videos I want to share with you. Since this is the point at which you will need to understand things like off contact, screen angle, and micro registration I figured I should link you to some videos and articles that will help out. The following videos will be of great assistance to you when setting up a print job:

These articles will also help you to understand how to use a manual rotary textile press:

What type of press do you have? Does your press have micro registration? If so would you recommend having micro registration to others? Do you have rear or side clamps and which do you prefer? Off contact can be difficult to set, do you have any tricks or tips you would like to share on how to set your off contact?
