    The Printing of HX/HZ Sandmans Stripes.

    Will update this in a little while when we have more time. But here is a sneak preview of what goes into printing the HX/HZ stripes.

    Printing of the Orange in the DY3 stripes.


    Drying of the Yellow in the DY3 stripes.

    Yes mate sure can. I have some DY3 HX (lighter red) stripes fully done. (side stripes only). They where part of our first batch.
    But yes if you just wanted stripes that's no worries at all. We will always offer these stripes. We are happy even if you just want a door stripe happy to sell just that.

    Happy also to do once off colours. But be aware these will be priced much higher than standard colour combos due to the amount of clean up!

    Cheers

    Ouch that hurts!

    OUCH!!!!!!! This is one thing we did not want to happen!:cry: Last colour of the HX DY3 stripes!

    A ripped screen. This is going to slow things down yet again..... Will need to be repaired. Another cost... bugger... Is going to add another couple of weeks. Have a few of the HX DY3 combo done that are ok. (printed before the ripping of the screen)...

    Very very sad......

    Frustrating! The screens must be made out of light material?

    Yes correct they are! They are under very very high tension also. Also the other issue is a very fine thread material is being used. Which means we get sharper lines.

    This is the 3rd time a ripped screen has happened!

    We are thinking that there is too much tension and maybe too much pressure being applied while printing the colours.
    When it rips they go off with a almighty crack!

    To fix the issue and stop it from happening again all the screens are going to be remade. I wont go into the costs but they are high!

    We are under the impression and also the screen makers are thinking the same that there needs to be more "green". (area not used) allowing them to flex just that little more while printing each colour.

    Its not like this is being done for the first time. To give you an idea the HQ/HJ stripe screens are even larger than the HX/HZ ones.

    Hope that make some sort of sence.... When I have a spare min or two I will post some more pics of how they are printed.

    Cheers
