Partially because I am in semi-retirement! Obviously not true but after being crap on by so many companies and customers, and considering the glut of used equipment out there and DTG and many factors, I have little reason to dive back in. Too risky. That said, when i left my last gig within two months all of my employees and many customers left as well. All of them. So, the glory days of yesteryear have mostly passed, and we are in a new era. ,Me? I am too busy with studio, gym, library, and kitchen etc. Thankfully all under one roof on the town square. We have car shows and farmer's markets, and most everything is in walking distance although keep my Mini and Karman Ghia. Do what you can, and do as you must, that was my father's best advice.

We have a new pricing calculator! This one is for contract decorating and would love some feedback on it.
https://www.promodecorators.com/calculators
Cool part is, it connects to our CRM and we can get the data on who is using it and it will eventually import the quotes directly into the shop management software.
if anybody is interested in getting something like it I can connect you with our developers.

I am on a Fiber connection, site took a good 30 seconds to load, that's way too long.
Also the chart doesn't have a price for second side or other print locations? I would think that would be a immediate issue for someone using this? Most garments we print have 2 print locations at minimum.
30 seconds, that’s crazy! We’ll look into that, thnx for the heads up! Our customers (wholesale) are impatient and need super fast solutions. Adding additional locations would make it look more complicated and they’d never use it so we decided not to include the additional locations. They just have to run it twice or double the cost of one side… Thanx for the feedback!

Do you have any at all?
Only need 3 and probably 2 would do.

God I Love AI
Try these AI tips for work-arounds:
Substitutes for Newman roller frame alignment clips (used to hold mesh in place before inserting the locking strip) can be improvised using short sections of spare locking strip, small C-clamps/spring clamps, or by hand-tensioning and securing with heavy tape.
The primary purpose of the alignment clips is to secure the mesh in the T-slot during the initial, crucial, "barely tight" stage of stretching.
Best Substitutes & Methods:
Spare Locking Strip Pieces: Cut small (1-2 inch) pieces of old, worn-out locking strip to use as "clips" to hold the mesh in the corners and center before installing the full-length strip.
Small Plastic/Spring Clamps: Use small, non-marring spring clamps to hold the mesh in the channel, ensuring they do not scratch the aluminum rollers.
The "Hand-Tensioning" Method: Instead of relying on clips, some printers pull the mesh taught across the frame by hand and immediately insert the locking strip into one long side, then the opposite, then the sides, pulling and tucking as they go to avoid needing pre-alignment.
"Reverse Curve" Method: Instead of clips, some methods use a pencil to mark the mesh on the edge of the T-slot for alignment while feeding it in.
Important Notes:
Avoid Damaging the Roller: Do not use metal pliers or heavy, sharp tools that can dent the T-slot and cause poor tension or ruin future mesh.
Alignment is Key: Regardless of the substitute, the goal is to keep the mesh squares perpendicular to the frame bars, preventing diagonal tension.
