Today I am working with my new UV RXP exposure unit from Ryonet. WOW!!! I am used to burning my screens for 12 minutes then waiting for the glass to cool before I could burn another screen. Not anymore. With the UV exposure unit, I burned my first screen for the recommended 3 minutes 45 seconds and it washed out beautifully. I am all ready to go with my next screen. No more waiting for the glass to cool off. This particular design does not have any detail so I am anxious to burn a screen with a detailed image.
I made one mistake with the screen. I burned the image in the wrong place. I needed to burn it more in the middle of the screen. This particular design will go on a tote bag. Tote bags slip over the platen with the top of the bag towards the press so your final print will be right side up, not upside down like a t-shirt print. I hope that makes sense.
It is so nice to have upgraded equipment. My other equipment did the job but the new stuff is so much better. Within 10 minutes I re-printed my transparency, burned a screen and washed out the image. Nice!!
More screens to do.....by for now!
