Hi All!!!
« on: April 06, 2011, 10:20:59 PM »
I sure do miss the old boards - I was always kinda quiet but i recognize all here. Glad to see a new site for all us old timers

OK - my story......I'll make it short.......

I own a small shop in Las Vegas. We are mainly a contract operation. 15000 sq ft, 45 employees, 2 shifts, 3 autos, one manual, 2 huge gas dryers, 2 million shirts a year. Started all this 17 years ago - by myself. I never worked at any other screenprinting shop. I started in my garage - not knowing a thing about this business. I was a crap dealer for 25 years on the Las Vegas Strip.

Thanks for reading.

I'll take 'em, but the ball was passed to Lemorris!

But seriously, since the few jobs that I had hoped to use you on didn't pan out, I was really stoked to help when Lemorris asked about a printer recommendation in Vegas.

Yes

What would be the PMS number on the brownish color on the Latest Chirco Print. By the way Lemmy did the art on this and it is an outstanding piece of art.

I'd like to get in on this group hug with Ron.  

I have been in aaaaa lot of print shops and BY FAR, Ron's is the best. It's clean, organized, high tech, and run by the greatest group of people.  (I know for a fact that Lemorris has a crush on at least two of his staff).  The work he produces is high-end...some of the best I've seen.  Not to mention him and his wife are probably some of the nicest people you'll meet.  

If you're ever in Vegas......

Ron...we missed you in LB.  Saturday night's beach house party went into the wee hours of the morning.  NEXT YEAR!

Ron,

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!
