i have piles of questions about rotaries and techniques. after years of learning the ins and outs to coil machines i feel like im starting from scratch, and i dont work with anyone who knows anything about em. so any feedback i can get would be really appreciated.

i understand the concept of short and long stroke. i have a can rotary ive been using for more or a traditional approach, so far im diggin it. when it comes to lining with them, doing soft black and grey, or soft color blending while still packing solid color; what in the machine itself would u look for to find a machines specific strength. with a coil machine spring tension, stroke, coil wrap and geometry make these differences. to utilize these machines for their full capacity what am i looking for in all the different styles and mechanics?

i understand its alot of opinions, and ill take what i can get. but its the mechanics and geometry(?) i guess and what make sets a can apart from a swash.

sorry for the long winded rant, i appreciate the feedback.
