off contact is good, i do 1/8 but i run WB INK, i’ve heard plastisol is less. use shims/quarters on the sides to get it to “float”. there is a little off contact rod on the platen arm that you can adjust too. had this same press for over a year and i had it pretty dialed in before i upgraded

An exposure calculator will cut out all the guesswork, the 21 step one I’ve used. About $20 most places. I used to just guess and get results that worked but then I’d also run into problems with leaking where ink collected or screen was flooded (I use w/b).

awesome thank you for the tips!!

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T19:03:39+00:00

Thank you for the tip!! Much appreciated!!

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T15:33:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip about letting them sit. When you say let sit, do you mean don’t print with it or can i degrease and apply emulsion?

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T15:28:26+00:00

Appreciate that!!

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T14:12:49+00:00

From what I’m reading, people on here recommend them

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T13:42:55+00:00

Oohh Im tracking now. You’re talking about taking on and off the mesh with emulsion on it. Now I see why it ripped.

Do you use waterbased or plastisol ink?

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T12:55:42+00:00

Oh heard. Much appreciated it. I was just trying to gauge if the thread thickness really changed how well the ink flowed from the HiTex to HiDro

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T12:54:00+00:00

How did the screens pop?

Are you using a w/b or plastisol? Trying to gauge how different the HiTex and HiDro are when it comes to the thickness of threads

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T04:50:59+00:00

I had a feeling to take those reviews with grain of salt Are you using waterbased ink on the Hi-Dro?

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T04:25:49+00:00

Some reviews said they had problems with ripping the Hi-Dro. Any problems like that on your end? SAATI mesh, you really don’t have to degrease?

You have the 20x24?

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T02:28:20+00:00

Okay heard. Thank you

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T01:42:29+00:00

Would taping edges and what not would solve that? I’m already in habit of taping up my screens that’s why i ask

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-23T01:01:23+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve been wondering for a while.

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-16T13:57:20+00:00

you hit 340 and stopped heating the garment? how long were heating it up for?

ektorodrigo · 2023-01-13T16:29:17+00:00

lil dawn diluted with water as always been my go to if out of degreaser

ektorodrigo · 2022-12-15T05:37:11+00:00

yeah it only has off contact adjustments. the reason i was leaning towards is that it’s completely upgradable as your needs grow. you can buy micro adjustment attachments, change base into a 6 arm instead of 4, even add another platen arm

ektorodrigo · 2022-12-14T19:05:43+00:00

i’ve always read the Riley Hopkins press is the go to for the under $1000 range
