|
|
| The Automatic 'GOTO' Registration System explained in 10 easy steps... |
|
 |
All screens are pre-registered using the free-standing film positioning unit. Complete with built-in fine line ‘LED’ guides, this ensures all the film positives are positioned in precisely the same place on all of the screens. |
|
 |
|
 |
Expose all screens in the normal manner. Film positives may be cut to size, avoiding wastage and minimising film costs. |
|
|
|
 |
A simple push button on the Synchroprint 4000 touch screen display with perform a ‘reference drive’, ensuring that all the screen holders on the press are starting from exactly the same position, duplicating the film-positioning unit. |
|
|
|
 |
Load all the screens into the Synchroprint 4000 in the correct order and switch on any flash cure units. |
|
|
|
 |
Next, take the primary positive (usually the key line) and place it onto the leading pallet, taking care that it is square and in the correct place for the garment. Then simply tape it in place to secure. |
|
|
|
 |
Move the leading pallet under the first screen by pressing the ‘index’ button and then press ‘up/down’ to lower the screen on to the pallet and artwork. |
|
|
|
 |
Using the six directional motorised movement controls on the print head keypad, position just the first screen ONLY to the artwork. (A little time getting this accurate will pay dividends). |
|
|
|
 |
Once complete, press the ‘GOTO’ button and all the remaining screens (irrespective of how many colours) will be driven to exactly the same position by incredibly accurate high-speed step-motors.
As all the artwork was initially pre-registered - the job is done! |
|
|
|
 |
It's then just a matter of loading the squeegees, adding the ink and running a test print/sample. |
|
|
|
 |
Finally, don’t forget to save the job by assigning a ‘design name’ from the touch screen display. (Again, this is as simple as pressing a few buttons). The Synchroprint 4000 will then record and memorise all the individual screen positions, flood/print speeds and number of strokes required on each individual print head along with the location, power and time settings of any flash cure units used. |
|
|
|
| |
An unlimited number of designs may be stored for re-call at any time in the future, making repeat production a breeze! |
|
|
|
| |
PS: If you didn’t get the films on straight at the pre-registration stage don’t worry, you are able to make any fine adjustments at this stage, but don’t forget to re-save the design under the same name and the Synchroprint 4000 will automatically overwrite these changes and take them into account every time you reload that design – how’s that for technology! |
