Sooo remote monitoring via wifi or 3g isn't new press technology? I was busting Robert's chops about a year ago when he was touting the serial flash plug at every head. My argument was, "why not use bluetooth", and why not wirelessly network the press to send job data to a main computer to get around M&R's blanket patent, "screen printing apparatus with data storage".

Pretty sure most of the time he would pair "old technology" with "overpriced". Oh drat, there I go spinning it again. Call fox news!

Great Post!
This is new technology for China. If you think about it, China is where we were in the 60's.

If you buy toys for kids from China today, you are dealing with lead paint.

I am not a Barnes supporter but I have been paying attention.

Barnes never say M&R was not good.

He always referred to Printex as newer technology

He is selling his press on a few features that Printex has and M&R doesn't.

These features may not be needed to operate, but they are the leather seats..the wood grain of the press.

Would Barnes sell M&R if he could? You bet, That is why he went to China.

Think about how Barnes is positioning himself


His top of the line press is already proven. They just have to make a couple more larger models. The RPM renamed as Mustang has had zero complaints

His mid level will be Printex. It is unproven, but a fine machine with a few growing pains.
As soon as they get it straightened out it will be a top contender.

His lower line the Sporty is designed to run next to M&R lower to mid level presses at a fraction of the cost.

After watching it over again, I think he did well especially with the language difference.


Robert is smarter than you think.

The Geography lesson was used to describe his territory.

Planting the seed!

He is selling himself to them.

I originally gave him a B- for the interview.

I may up that to a B+

Now to be fair to everyone here.

I think Robert has a good product line.

I know M&R has a good product line.

If they could compete on customer service instead of having dog matches, we would all win.

I don't agree with many of his tactics here.

For instance, M&R post something about their product, I don't think Robert should post in their thread.

If he wants to compare, start another thread and compare side by side.

I don't like when M&R post an image of their press and Barnes post who is Robert Barnes in the same thread.

If he could learn to have internet manners, everyone would win.

On the other hand, sometimes M&R owners do the same.

Check out this video!

Looks like he Interviewed Barnes.

Gives me a greater appreciation for poorly translated instruction manuals.

I know it's a popular thought that everything is made in china but it's just not true. The United States still manufactures more than china.

Check out this link

I think they are on track to bypass us this year though. The US has been moving to a service based economy for a long time now.

Our future in the country in science, tech and innovation. Not labor. THis is why it's important to give our kids a good education. They are falling behind so bad it's embarrassing.

If america want's to stay as fat and happy as it is.. we need to invest in our future.. the kids.
