I used to be a top feeder only, after the weekend, I think I am a bottom feeder.
One, like you say, it keeps the clear leader off the floor, entire print stays on the
platter and protected until start time. I find that bottom feeding gives me more
consistent loops, especially coming out of the intermittent.

Secondly, start projector motor then start projector when black leader hits. It was
especially nice to do it this way because the Coke trailer has an introduction, not
like with IDYKYDG that just had the whoosh sound. I admit that I left the start
projector motor on a few times but hey.

I thought your article on presentation was good. My booth manager would have
liked to see more reasons as to why something should have been done. Like,
doing this actually prevents this.

I don't understand what you were saying there.

Thanks for your suggestions.

#1 Check your intermittent shoe tension. It should be set as low as possible.

#2 Check the actual intermittent shoe for a burr or sharp cut on it. This can be
smoothed out with a fine grain emery cloth.

#3 Check the gate bands for damage of any kind. Replace if necessary.

#4 Check all the pad rollers. You should be able to put two layers of film (use an
old trailer) between the sprockets and the pad roller and the pad roller should still
spin freely. When you put three layers of film, there should be some resistance
when spinning the pad roller by hand.
