Printex hurricane max stroke length

I decided to make this video to protect my a$$. Because of Roberts actions and deception in the pass I figured I should make some videos of issues I do have on the press before Andrew and Robert come to visit. I am worried Robert will leave and post all my issues are fabricated or as Preston would say operator error.

So here is the vid of the stroke length or lack of I should say.

As you can imagine not getting the stroke length advertised is a huge issue for us, I was mortified when I put my first twenty inch graphic on press and I could not come close to printing it.

Next week I will probably do a vid on the three air leaks I have, one is getting to the point it has to be fixed, but sadly my spare parts list did not have the gasket oh wait I did not have a spare parts kit. And amazingly the support person has not sent me the parts I need yet to fix the leaks yet I have a warranty hmmmm.

Being heavy handed, I would break several things on that print head. It doesn't seem like it would hold up to the grind our press goes through. Seems more like 16 inch maximum clean print. What's the biggest you've printed on there?

I beat my head one time to get 18 and it was not ideal either for a print.

It looked like 18 with no play but that eliminates any hope of the ink shearing and the mesh rebounding cleanly. Did they even measure the maximum print size before they wrote the advertised specs?

Looks fine to me. Falls within standard Polish tolerances: 20" plus-or-minus 6".
