screen print
Those of us that deal with screen printing on a daily basis are painfully aware of the ever present and sometimes overwhelming variables. Becoming one of the largest contract apparel screen printers in the industry has made this all the more obvious as we have grown. After much consideration and research, we decided to contact the gang at Stretch-Devices to see what they could offer as a solution to some of our problems. Well, as you can guess by now, we were more than pleased, we were ecstatic! Stretch-Devices came in to our facility, surveyed our plant, our employees and our equipment prior to making any suggestions or recommendations. Once all aspects and angles were surveyed, Stretch-Devices and Liberty Screen Print made a commitment to have all appropriate areas, (i.e. Art, Screens and Production) set up on level 2 pin registration system. Although this would involve extensive work in all areas, Stretch-Devices was committed, as were we, to making our operation as streamlined and efficient as possible.
The level 2 pin registration system is a very accurate and easy system to use. It allows us to basically preregister all the artwork prior to buming screens, therefore minimizing missed placement and shortening set-up times considerably. We have cut our set-up time by approximately 40% and our rebuming of screens for placement issues by almost 80% since installing the level 2 system. Within a year we plan to knock our current set-up times down by at least 40% and it's feasible that our rebum's for placement could virtually disappear.
In addition to our pre-press registration system, stretch has also helped us with many other areas of our production facility. They have provided us with several cutting edge tools like the Vector series flood bars and the LOC (Level Off Contact Gauge). These tools and Stretch-Devices commitment have made great difference in our ability to produce a quality product in a timely manner for our elite clientele.
With all of the up front and continuing help from Stretch-Devices, liberty Screen Print has become, and will continue to be an industry leader.
