Attention Digitsmith Members
Have you heard about our latest innovation? Roller squeegees have numerous applications. One of the best is to use them with a piece of Teflon film as a smoothing station following a flash.
Just in - the first video of the Roller squeegee being used. In the video - The Roller squeegee is being used for smoothing. There is a very distinct difference in the quality of the print when the smoothing station is employed.

Roller squeegee seen at .43
The screen used with the roller squeegee has a piece of Teflon Film spray tacked to the print side of the mesh. When the roller squeegee pushes the teflon film against the recently flashed image, the print becomes glass smooth with no fibers sticking up and much better clarity. The recently flashed ink does not stick to the Teflon film and there is no mesh pop. No ink was transferred to the film.
The Teflon Film is 18" x 24" and will last a very long time. Smoothing stations are being used by the many of the best known printers to produce a product with an enhanced hand and appearance.
