The value of peripheral equipment

The views of the author on the cost value of the peripheral equipment used in the printing of apparels are presented. Screen printers have mistakenly placed a higher value on raw materials and core-consumables than they allocate to conversion cost while printing on T-shirts. Screen printing of T-shirts has to consider the labor, time and other expenses above the cost of printing on the T-shirts. If the vacuum security blanket needs a change, it must be changed otherwise it requires the other costs include reshoots, pinholes, premature stencil breakdown, loss of detail, and the frustration of incessant screen wiping during the press-run. Expensive screen mesh is the gauze that is used to stop the bleeding caused by old blades. Buying more holders and blades will help to reduce meshes.
