i have attended/worked at many print shows since I was in my late twenties, Different times, I know however, there seems to a tendency to oversell products. Auto scoop coaters do not the time it takes to refill and by the way who cleans them and how much time that takes. Thats money. Presses claim 1200 pc per hour but pls if anyone who can verify this in an eight-hour day I would respectively retract this statement.
Some old timers might remember that I ran a column called "The Printers Perspective" in Printwear back in the day. That's what it was all about,
,Boots on the ground what works and what else you may try, It was a "works for you" approach. But always remember, if you change one variable for the positive, you may have a negative on others.

 I have to say that I am around of those works, dated as they be now.

I started asking these questions and pissed off a ton of people. Really shows you which shops are just industry folks, and which ones are actually trying to build a decoration business.
