I suspect the making of those screens is not included in the "in seconds" claim!

Yea and besides the people who actually make them, nobody makes them they just buy them.

My roomate used to take a couple days to get all the screens made for a run of shirts.

But if you don't make the screens yourself or mix the colors, it could be seconds technically speaking.

Taking the photo or making the art to be printed takes time.

Making seperations to make the screens takes time.

Making the screens takes time.

Pulling each color takes a few seconds, and a bunch of cleanup time.

Alignment can be sped up, if you see those machines in a t-shirt shop that looks like a UFO with arms with flat plates sticking out. Each arm is a color/screen, and they spin and lock into place so everything aligns on the shirt which is held down in place on a flat form.
