Overpriced, but clever and easy to use with an existing board.

You're paying for an idea, in the same way that Photoshop, or any other software is on a CD or DVD that itself only costs pennies. Now, whether one feels that the idea is worth what is charged, is another issue.

Easier to swallow when one cannot easily do the same task in a reasonable time frame vs money needing to be doled out.

on the print being on the pocket. MHM sleeve pallets are 5" wide....

Nice video, screen printers are natural problem solvers!
