Pretty sad that you can't sell a good press any more. I just sold a 6x6 Chameleon for 500 bucks a few moths ago. I couldn't store it anymore. Don't be so picky John, take it!

SMC fittings are dirt cheap. So is hose. Buy a little Magnalube-G for the cylinders and you're golden.

Used presses need time and attention but hot DAMN a free Chameleon? You can put a couple grand into it and STILL have a 100000x better value press than any other new one out there.

8/4 is the sweet spot in my opinion. Handles any *manually printable* screen you can throw in it but the 4 arm table spins fast.

Just take it John. I probably at least have the air line I can give you.

I would grab this in heartbeat if it was closer to NYC.

I feel the amount of equipment going up for sale will triple in next few months.

I wonder if you think this is due to people upgrading or something else?

DTF. We've moved about 1/4-1/3 of our production over to it.

Definitely DTF..

We got ours up and running in July, we are prob at 80-90% dtf. 4 head with the oven.

This week we have only printed 2 jobs on our auto. Some orders are just more efficient on the auto. We have a diamondback 6/8..

 We also  have 2 MEM auto heat presses. One person does first press, the other second press.. 100 per hour

We have a Jennings manual 6 head, im thinking of taking all the arms off by one and put in a corner. We pretty much only use it to print our boxes.

The price and demand for screen printing equipment especially manual presses has dramatically declined.
Hard to figure out appropriate listing prices. Many customers refuse to sell equipment at current selling prices.
They think the value for the equipment is still at pre-pandemic times. Meanwhile there is a lot 7 year and newer
equipment available like never before.

It is still available.
We never used the airlocks. I got it used with other equipment.

We have two four color, one six color and an eight color manuals, flashes, a couple of dryers, three exposure units all in storage. Plus more pallets, squeegees, screens, accessories than I can list. Not worth the low ball haggling, crating, shipping etc. Too much of a glut market.
