Have had mine for two months and everything has worked flawlessly. I put two thin washers where the pedestal attaches to the base to shim the flash head to a level position in relation to the pallet. I am new to the full-time business, but there is no way I would use a standard always-on flash now. I had been looking at the Flash-Amatic on a BBC flash originally, it would of been over three times as expensive as the Quartz flash and the thing uses electricity for the entire time you are in the shop. If I take a break for an hour, only the tiny fans on the quartz flash run. I may even buy a second quartz flash for backup. Or save my cash for a $3,000+ dollar "usa" quartz flash. Either way...Thanks Cam for taking the risk of buying a "cheap" Ebay flash to review!
I use a couple old squeegees on of the floor. Perfect height to level.
Do you still use the flash? Overall good experience?
Works great. All bulbs were intact. Thanks again for the review.
Cam!! Gratsi for the review!!! Been watching your posts to see if your still using this thing!! Looks like you are!! I finally pulled the trigger. Came within a week from So Cal!! Came with 10 bulbs and all worked first time!! Thanks again for the review!! Stoked!!!
Thanks for the review! I want one too... I already have to pull my flash away when I have to take a call or load more ink, etc. Having the automatic on/off feature is a very desirable feature. This is a welcomed review! Happy Birthday Com-O!
late to your videos, but two things that came to mind, were, the fans will blow the heat down and keep the heat off the wires and sockets more so that may help with that issue. the second thing was after seeing the dust and lint built up on the fan, i would be worried about the lint and dust blowing from the fan onto the wet ink
Thank you for the review! I'm curious, now that you have had the flash for one year, how is it holding up?
We have 4 at the shop can plug into the automated machine they are awesome!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Earven. Yup, when you hit 35-36, you start getting called "Mr." !!!!!! Wait until 50...they start speaking louder assuming you are deaf.
That's so awesome man, I definitely think you should do more review videos like this!
Hey Cam really enjoy your videos brother. My question is. After 3 years how is the flash dryer doing now
Print Fam... love it!
Got mine up and running for about 8 months now 👍
Still using the flash? Overall how do you like it?
Cam, thanks for the review. I think I might try one of these. I have a nice vastex IR unit but have cooked a couple pallets in the past. One thing I was wondering that might lower the flash time (only on plastisol), would be to cover the intake to those two fans on top and stop the air flow. Plastisol seems to cure faster when you don't add air flow. Just a thought. Thanks again.
Just ordered...Thanks for the heads up !
I loved this thing until it started acting up in about a year. I got to where it won't turn on via the motion sensor. Changed it, and it is still not consistent. Hard to get seller to help troubleshoot
Went up to $700 last time I checked on ebay.... Just purchased a new press and conveyor dryer. Now time to upgrade from a heatgun
Thanks for your videos Cam
There are MANY sellers selling the same item. Saw one trying to sell for $1,400!!!! Even this seller has several postings with different prices for unit and shipping. Should be in the $530-$550 range with free shipping.
Thanks, I saw that also, I just followed Cams link and see his seller is cheaper than the one I saw for $700+. Kicking myself for not having my electrician install 220v outlets and breaker. I definitely need an flash unit.
Im guessing the fans are for water and discharge inks? Can they be turned off so i can only use like a normal For plastisol? My old Chinese flash is almost out it has lasted me about 3 years.I'm looking to get in to water and discharge i have no air belt i cure my inks with flash ...so this and a normal belt dryer would do ?
Hi Ken am a new follower, I don’t have a conveyer dry I use a flash unit to dry my T-shirt’s, with the one you have is it possible to dry the shirts as well?
what kind of conection have?
Cam I'm looking at getting one of them flash dryer. I'm seeing them on ebay. Can you tell me how amps it is and what amp breaker you are using. I know it's a 220V. By the way great videos
thanks Cam , saved me hundreds, owe you a beer
How did you like it?
Hey Cam, quick question, you wouldnt happen to know where to get a fuse for this flash unit do you? One of mine blew and everything at the hardware store is a little bit long and I cant screw the cap back on. Thanks!
Mine came in today, I got it assembled and it is dead as a door nail. Went through all the fuses, got nothing. Took the 8 screws out of the control panel and the 2 main Hot 220 wires... Were hooked to NOTHING, one even had the fork connector ripped off. I cannot even tell where they were connected. Lucky for me, those wires did not touch anything metal in the case. Up side... all 8 bulbs are in good physical shape, just cant test.
OH shit, That the kind of stuff I was worried about, sound like the results will be very different for everyone.
You want to hope its one of those accidents that happen. The seller has instructed me to take it up with the MFG in China... Yeah, this will likely end badly with EBay / Paypal spanking a refund out of them. I will give it a couple days and see if they are "helpful" or not. The Seller is "display-quick" so buyers may want to consider a different Seller.
Ron Lueth what end up happening?
I worked with them on the phone a few times on their clock. They assisted me with understanding how things were laid out inside. This led to the biggest problem which was the main HV Relay. The base of it was broken so it would not stay on the mounting rail. They have shipped me the replacement HV Relay. The unit has worked without fail and I really have liked this unit. I do not have a rotary press and I am using it as a manual Flash.
FYI... It appears to be related to shipping damage. If the box falls hard on its side, this appears to cause hardware to brake loose and pull wires off. To me, this also indicates the wires could have been attached and tightened better, as I found with all the other connections that I tightened while in there.

Thanks for the info
I’ve had one of these flash units for a few months, and now the sensor stops working after about 10-20 prints. If I turn the power off and leave it alone for about 10 minutes, it starts working again, but then stops after another 10-20 shirts. Any idea how to fix that? Or what’s causing it?
What is the max height this can go? Need to make sure it will fit :).
Does anyone know how to wire the plug? Which wire corresponds to what.
Do you happen to know what kind of amps that unit pulls? I found it on eBay but that info was not listed. Thanks for the update!
6000w @ 220v= 27 amps. I ran a 30 amp breaker with 10/2 w/ground (3 wires total). Doesn't come with a plug. It is 50hz, not the normal USA 60hz, but that doesn't matter with equipment like a dryer.
30 amp double pole.
How many amp breaker is the circuit plugged into?? 20 amp or 30 amp?
I believe he used a 30 amp plug. I have one as well but im using a 20 amp plug, outlet, and 20 amp 220 breaker
Thanks, @@xknoxravenx1
Knox Raven how’s the 20 amp working out for you after some time? I’m thinking of trying one of these on a nema 6-20r dedicated 20 amp circuit but 6000w seems like it will be tripping all the time?
WHERE CAN WE GET REPLACEMENT BULBS?
What are the exact specs on the power supply on this? Does it need single or double phase? I assume it has no issue with the US 60hz instead of the 50hz it's spec'd at from the other comments below. Thanks!
Damien that is outside of my expertiese, how ever it is running on a single phase 220 circuit just fine.
@@ThePrintLife Thanks for the reply. We're looking at this unit for when we expand the Printmaking committee at the Dallas Makerspace, and will be needing to put in the power line to run this unit.
Can you cure plastisol ink with this too not just flash cure? Also did your unit come with a plug or did you pay to get a power plug cord installed?
Also these are quartz even though the ebay ad just says infrared ir flash? Anything with bulbs is quartz? Like the lawson digi dry box?
Neither of the links work ;( How would a heat press compare?
Morgs88 that product probably expired. Just go to eBay a quick search will work. I have never tried curing plastisol with a heat press.
Do you still have it Cam?
Are you still using this?
I have a vevor 18x24 flash unit. Also a Chinese product I bought on ebay, it has burned out on me twice but I've been able to repair it and keep it going. About once a year you need to go through and clean the corrosion off of the contacts and replace the wires. Also side note. That is high temp wire and it is really difficult to find small amounts of it.

My unit arrived with 2 broken bulbs too. LOL
Mine came with a total of 8 bulbs, all were fine. I ordered two extra when I bought the flash, they took about a month to get (ships from Hong Kong), but it turns out they weren't needed. So I have 4 replacements now.
. 🙌🙌🙌
All the parts for the big name units are sourced from drum role========= China
No shit! That is funny stuff.
It's the truth I tried sourcing the bulbs like in your unit from china but it was to much. I'am build a flash unit right know using 250 watt infared heat lamps just because I can and the bulbs are available locally for 10 for 40 bucks building mine with a foot switch and time relay.
