Any Mustang Owners out there?

Screen Printer

I have not been posting much, just checking in each day on items for sale.


My Learning experience

Not fast enough because of my busy schedule.

Workflow was not good at all...I was going in circles.
Cleanup was taking way too long.

I spent a couple of days at Alan’s.

I picked up a lot of workflow ideas which is helping to speed up everything.

I got a dip tank....
a vat to clean squeegies
I made a darkroom.


I created designated areas for different setups..such as:

A table to tape screens
A table to coat screens
A table for cleanout gun

I setup tables to fold items.

All designated areas...instead of back tracking where I left the roll of tape..hehehehehe

As far as printing....It is going pretty good....But...I am doing mostly basic stuff.
Printing mostly solids for now.

Remember..I never printed before.

I did do a 5 color..which came out nice.
Mostly 1 and 2 colors

My largest job so far was 600 pieces ..1 color front and back.

I just hired a guy that I am training...so hopefully he can run it soon.

He is doing pretty good...but now and then..he forgets and prints a pallet...lol

I am not really sure what type of work I want yet.

At the moment, I am juggling 5 different businesses.

It is hard for me to get used to having to price out a job before.

In my photography business....they would want me or not.

This was the price take it or leave it.


In this business...it seems like many people are used to getting cheaper prices.

I am actually setting up a store front now.

I have a school uniform shop now....

I will also start offering many items to wear to sporting events.

I think in the long run...I may be offering :

An inexpensive 1 color shirt to wear to games...to get them in the store
I will offer some higher end stuff too.

Maybe mixing screen printing with rhinestones
Or
Maybe appliques for embroidery.

I can sell items for local high schools and universities.

I may also do some sign..banner.....work.


What I don't like about screen printing.

THE INK.....lol

You just have to be very careful.

As far as my mustang....That is one fine machine.

For my embroidery I bought a 6 head and a single head barudan.

For screen printing I bought the Mustang.

I believe buying new...these machines run in tip top shape....helping me learn...by not having to fight equipment.

So...you want to know if I had any problems with my Mustang?
I have a couple of air leaks now and then on the screen lock downs.
I need to make time and change my o-rings.
If I have the problem..I usually flip the switch a time or two and it stops.

They did send my spare parts kit. LOL

When I was doing a job of 600 shirts...I did have a problem.

The machine locked up a few times.

I had to restart. Then i noticed...it was only locking up when I used the foot petal.

I decided to remove the foot petal to see if that was the problem.

As soon as I touched it...the wire fell out from the machine.

It just got loose....I slipped it back in and tightened the lock nut and it worked flawless ever since.

I love my equipment...not sure i love the business as a whole...you know....the INK.

As soon I am caught up with my school uniform business..I will take a few pics of my setup.

Thanks Ted, how many prints on the machine. And I am curious, why do you have to fix the leaks, won't they send a tech out to take care of it?

Are tech charges customarily included during the warranty period of new autos? Or is it just a parts warranty?

We do on the products that we decorate and embroider.


Mustang has a better program than M&R - 1 year 1 million print

Then its prorated from there, how's that for balls (blue or otherwise)

Ask 244 to put that in writing for you!

You lost me here Rich.

I guess the argument from Mustang would be your warranty starts from the sale date, and of course by the time you get it the warranty is almost up.

pushing ink

hell I couldn't even get phone support after the sale, I mean after the STEAL they took me for!

Prosperi-Tees

Ok I just read a warranty. Labor is not included. What does that mean? All tech charges (travel,hotel,meals etc..) are the customers responsibility? Correct?

prozyan

Barney claimed earlier that Mustang will have a one year/one million print warranty.

From what I heard new seals is only a band aide it really needs replaced cylinders.
