That's pretty cool.

Baron I have no doubt that it's effective for what it is... I'm just saying if you put pen to paper the revolver is probably a TOUCH "better" workflow wise. As stated it would give your shirts a chance to cool down allowing you to run it a bit faster vs a step back or flash back setup.

The Step Back Feature is no different from flashing without it. If you flash on head 2, it doesn't matter if you print the next color on head 3 or head 1. Using the Step Back Feature offers you a steady flow of shirts off the press.

Thanks for posting the vids Brannon!

I concur.

I agree Baron, it's no different than printing on head 3... but to increase productivity and work flow those with more heads available don't print on head 3, they leave as many heads free as they can as cool down stations.

So in that case the revolver program can take a 5 color job with PFP UB on a 6 color press and treat it like a 12 color press in that sense, where as with stepback or flashback it is more like a 7 color press where you are PFP on heads 1,2 and 3.

Again, we are talking about VERY small differences but they do tilt in favor of the Revolver.

Check out the the 3 user controled dwell times on the Aries system. You can have one dwell time when you start up. A second after the pallets warm up and a third when everything is at operating temperature. This will eliminate the ink issues brought up in previous posts. It's also done without leaving the load unload area.

So you are saying you are addressing this by slowing it down?

For the record, I'm not trying to argue with you here, physics are physics though.

You decrease the flash time as the pallets warm up, so you're speeding things up.

Ah, that's universal to all presses but you still have the issue with printing immediately after a flash.

If you set the flash time correctly, you won't have an issue.
