Colin is the MAN!

I was reading John Magee’s post about peel and this was a perfect demonstration of how to keep air gaps and get proper peel. I have been a victim to the typical 1/16 off contact (or quarters) and not doing the above mentioned techniques on my R250. I would like to see a visual difference between squeegee durometers and angle if you could please sir.

[@brandonschmunk4404]

Good idea

[@stefanoboria1765]

wish this kind of info were available when I started with my Riley 250

[@Ryonet]

Lets get ahead now. What other concerns or questions do you have?

[@crackshotscreenprinting]

very informative, thank you

[@Ryonet]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Venlonaer]

Do you also need to adjust the tilt after changing the off-contact? It seems like the screen is higher at the end of the platen.

[@edgarrivera532]

@ryonet i have always put a dime on the back where you put the pcs of clean card when i do hoodies. i have my off contact for t'shirts just about 1/8 work great for my 8year old R250 4/6 screen press

[@Ryonet]

You've got your process! That's what it's all about....

[@heatherarneson3814]

With the “do not touch” bolt, are you just saying don’t touch it after you’ve gotten your screens in registration?

[@ceelocc1]

I touched the do not touch bolt. How do i fix it now?

[@Ryonet]

Thanks for the wait. The "Do not Touch" bolt is used to lock in the level for the print heads so that every single print is consistent. Here is a guide to reset it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpzJkpiErdSrrbs
