OVERVIEW

Below are ongoing tasks that will be done throughout the day. The goal is to ensure all inks in production are mixed prior to being used to minimize downtime during both setup and runtime.

• Mix 5 gallon containers of all 3 main White inks as well as Black ink for the day (Follow the SOP: Mixing White Inks In The Morning)

• Load the current Agenda page and create a list of needed mixtures.

• Review Plastisol Technical Data Sheets

• Review Additives Technical Data Sheets

• Review Waterbase Technical Data Sheets

• Mix / replenish all PANTONE colors needed for the day (Follow the SOP: Mixing Inks - Rutland M3 Plastisol & SOP: Mixing Waterbase / Discharge - Matsui Alpha Series)

• Continue adding PANTONE swatches to our Swatch Binder for all in-house inks

• Depending on the application or special effect requested, mix inks with additives (Review Cheat Sheet - Additive)

• Reclaim, refill, clean and inventory inks that are no longer in immediate use for the day

• Ensure backup stock of supplies and inks. If low, needed inks and supplies on production order form

• Ensure spatulas (for manual mixing and automatic mixer) are clean and ready for next mixtures
