So, it's a dust collector. Too many misprints on extremely expensive garments. Perhaps it was me, but I can't be everywhere at once. That stinks, I thought that would finally be the real deal for improving prints without causing waste. I found the M&R Hot Head did what you said the Stampinator did for you. 23

So, if you if you are one lucky enough to find a good job, prepare for a new one. Sorry but true 26

Ever buy an eighty thousand dollar auto reclaim unit but cant buy the chemicals due to bankruptcy? Ever get into high density/lenticular printing without costing it out and price accordingly? Ever waiting to your compressor completely dies and have to rent an outside gas one? Ever acquire a company that while having a book of business, loses money? Ever thought of moving ink inventory to an upstairs out of access area? Ever bought a larger/over engineered piece of equipment? On behalf of the shop I currently work at, I feel attacked. ![]() 27

Man, it could of went sky high. Harry across the street says, you can print these 8' panels of foamboard for the store. Risk upon risk, dumb upon dumb for money just staring out 30 years ago. ![]() 30

Need to replace our FX3U CLP 3v battery on our Sportsman EX circa 2011. M&R has the one we have benn using all along, but see others that are a fraction of the cost. I want to make sure the much less expensive, similar looking ones have same volt / specs will work? Not too weak, not too hot, just right. Any suggestion for a substitution? Thanks Crew, GG |
