I just want to protect myself from being called a liar. Remember when I first posted about this,issue Robert went to the other hurricane he installed down south that hurricane was specially ordered to have a longer stroke length because the company printed flags, he took pics of a tape measure showing something like 30" strokes and tried to bs the world as that being standard. What I am curious about is what Andrew can or will offer to resolve the issue.

Ink, I know this is probably a silly question, but is the diametre or footprint the same as advertised? Makes no difference in the overall scheme of things but wondering if the arms were fitted short, or weather they are shorter arms, and if correcting the stroke length would increase the footprint. In your opinion would you say it is complete design error that would be across the hurricane model or could it be fitting and construction on your press only? Either way is academic because what was delivered was not to specified advertised, and the problem wasn't rectified in a timely and professional manner.

Great video by the way, love YouTube clips!!

After seeing your press there is only one way to rectify the stroke issue and that is to replace the heads. Nothing you or anyone else can do to fix it. As such the diameter will increase to accommodate the 36" frames. You should also be able to easily fit the 36" screens in the press with the micro's in the center of travel.

Without seeing the press I always wondered if there was something that could be done to make the stroke longer with the existing print heads, but Rich saying it won't after seeing the press answers that question. I had previously thought that maybe there was room on the inner part of the print head to move the components back and make better use of the room that's there, and adding a longer carriage rail if it needed it. Having to completely remove and install new print heads is not a major task, but when it's something that should have never needed to be done in the first place, it makes the task 10 times more difficult to me.

I do not believe any on head adjustments could get you the twenty inches that's because the rear hanger is literally hanging off the rail when all the way back so with out replacing that whole rail assembly it would never print twenty.

Wizard I do believe the diameter is as advertised which does tell me a major engineering snafu happened.

You guys will love this! Below is an email from robert to me the boss and Andrew (supposedly) please read and the next post is my reply.

Hello Andrew :-)

As you know there are some "Problem Children" in the Printex Family ... Below is a link to a tactic that one of them have resorted to ...*

Printex hurricane max stroke length

based on the tone of the YouTube video within the forum post ... we will be walking into a hostile situation with this press operator (Inkman - cc'd) ...*What is strange about this is that the owner of this company (Dan - cc'd) had a phone call with me the other day and agreed to a productive meeting during your "Coming to America" visit ... my hope is that by cc'ing the company owner (Dan) he may explain to his employee that harassment and extortion are both illegal and the YouTube links will be deleted :-(

Note: I know you are on an install in Serbia -but- we need to talk :-@

My reply

Andrew please do not read into this garbage from Robert. The YouTube video is for my protection from Robert, in the past he has lied and deceived his customers including me.mthe mans behavior forces us normal working people to defend our selves. Andrew when I get to work Tuesday I will gladly show you the post Robert made stating he was going to sabotage our machine if he got the chance. It was because of that threat we had to take drastic action and refuse Robert Barnes from entering our facility. Me and the owner agreed to allow him to return only because of your presence, we sincerely want to discuss with you Andrew our current issues, I currently have many technical issues on our press some require simple parts that Robert has refused to send me even tho our warranty covers these parts.

As for the video Andrew it does not lie and certainly is not illegal as paranoid Robert makes it out to be, the video is solely to protect our selves from Robert in the future.

Andrew if you would respond to this email and please provide a number I can reach you at, it has come to my attention that other emails in the past I sent to Peter were never received by him or he simply ignored, this is serious stuff going n here in the USA and,I hope you have the professionalism to deal with a customer of yours and stop throwing us to,the sole mercy of Robert.

Also there is absolutely zero hostility awaiting you in this country that is something Robert is fabricating,to manipulate your visit. You can and and should speak to all customers here first and verify your visit will be well received.

Now Robert is claiming the video is harassment and extortion? WTF planet is he from? Can someone seriously really explain to me where he gets extortion from? Who am I extorting? So by asking for resolutions to it press that is not as advertised that is extortion?

And since when does a video showing a product what it can or can't do be called harassment? If you do not like it then do not sell something that is not as advertised and something you will refuse to support.

All I can think of is all the posts vids and pics of competitions machines all in a bad light all by Robert but now he is crying Like a little ****** he is because I posted a video.

Come and reply Robert explain to the public how I am in the wrong, how on earth you see extortion and harassment?

Oh yea and good luck getting the vid removed from you tube lol

Here is the real problem with this. It's not that they built, then shipped, then installed the WRONG press (mistakes happen, we are all human). It's how it was handled afterwards that is the real issue here. Support staff in place went to another shop to attempt to prove him wrong (even though the presses were not actually the same) and then deny deny deny. 3rd party was brought in or decided to say it was user error.

Here we are approaching a year later, no resolution.

Inkman, email Andrew the poll I created about his visit. I think that clears up any myths on if he is welcome in the USA.
