What this sheet is for

Deliver the count you promised and know exactly why the rejects happened, with the settings written down so the reprint matches.

Who it is for

Textile and paper screen printers, garment decorators, print studios, community print rooms and art departments.

How to use it

  1. Head the sheet with the job, the customer and who is printing.
  2. Fill in one line per colour: screen, mesh, exposure, ink and batch, squeegee and passes, and the cure you used.
  3. Record the substrate and how many blanks actually arrived, not how many were ordered.
  4. Tally pulled, passed and rejected as you go, with the fault on each reject.
  5. Note what was reclaimed and what ink was left at the bottom.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One print run from the screen to the drying rack: the screen and stencil, the ink, the substrate, the count pulled, the count passed, and what went wrong on the ones that did not.

Your screen, your ink, your settings. Mesh, exposure, ink cure temperature and time are settings for your screen, your unit and your ink — write the ones you used so you can use them again.

Questions

Why does the sheet not print exposure or cure settings?

Because they belong to your exposure unit, your emulsion, your ink and your dryer. The right figures are the ones that worked on your kit, which is why every one of those columns is labelled as yours to fill in.

Why count blanks received separately from blanks ordered?

Because the difference is where shortfalls come from. If the customer sent fewer than they think, you want that written down before the first pull.
