Anatol?

Sure, that wasn't the point I was making.

I guess we will have to just agree to disagree.

I can live with that.

It's never wise to print directly after flashing. Too many possible problems.

I think you are both right. Its not a good idea when you can avoid it. When you can't though, I think you can pull it off. It does require some baby sitting and such. But if its the difference between getting or not getting a job. I think it's clear you can make adjustments.... We do it on occasion.

Might not be the best method, but like Brandt said, if you aren limited on heads, you gotta do what you gotta do. We do it all the time and never have a problem. We just keep an eye on flash temp and time.

Not sure of your printing background but you won't find many if any veterans printing anything directly from under a flash dryer. If you like unclogging cooked ink from the mesh, screens sticking to the shirt and top colors bleeding everywhere, go right ahead then yes, we agree to disagree.

Both systems are GREAT for that "in a pinch" moment.

BUT, if you had BOTH systems on the same machine at your disposal, I'm pretty sure just about everyone would choose the revolver.

Keep in mind he is talking about a feature that is likely used by a small shop, that can only afford a smaller press. Most "veterans" will have larger presses and even multiple presses.

I think its clear that if it can be avoided you would. I doubt his Vindicator owners are using that feature. But a Horizon owner might be all over that due to space or budget.

Using a free standing flash in the unload position allows you to print max colors, flash and cool without any problems.
