Screen Printing - June/July 2020 - 34
As for making shipping easier, there
are options available, from creating
documents you can batch upload into
your UPS or FedEx shipping account, to
private companies that create an easyto-use interface that streamlines the
process. I called on a couple of industry
friends to share how they handle this.
Every single one of them said they're
highly frustrated with shipping companies and the processes to ship. They've
all found something that works for them
(their solutions are all different), but
they're universally not content.
When done with labels, move all boxes
into either a designated shipping or customer pick up location and stack the
boxes so each label is clear and readable.
We don't want shipping and pick up to be
in the same space as it can lead to potential confusion. This makes it easy for your
shipping guy to grab and scan the boxes,
or for your customer service people to
easily find and bring out the boxes to
your customer. When your customer sees
everything clearly labeled, they feel confident they picked the right print shop.
BREAKING DOWN THE PRESS
Thanks to our awesome employee(s) at
the end of the dryer, within a few minutes of the print job being done, we
know the counts are complete and we
can begin taking out the inks, squeegees, and screens from the press. There
are couple ways to do this, each one
more efficient than the last. Many of us
have seen videos of "10-minute press
change overs" so this is not a new subject, but let's walk through it anyway.
We'll want to start with a screen cart:
Take the squeegee and flood bar out
and rest them on an end of the screen so
most of the weight is against the screen
frame. Then pull the screen out without
taking out the ink. Place this within the
screen cart. Grab the ink containers and
place them on top of the screen cart.
Continue until all screens are done. This
cuts your tear down time by more than
50 percent compared to taking ink out
of the screen during the press tear down.
We will now roll the cart over to a dedicated and well-ventilated screen cleaning
location. If you are printing with HSA or
water-based inks, you'll want your screen
tech to jump on cleaning the screens out
before the ink dries in. I know it sounds
lackluster, but that's it, that's all they
should be doing. Your press techs should
not spend any time cleaning screens or
messing with inks. Their job is to 100 percent focus on getting the next job set up
and ready to print.
