BS PW... Go reread from the beginning...

I spent WAY too much time trying to help understand that guys needs and make sense of his "I print 2k/day but can't afford a new auto" non-sense (yeah, that is straight forward)! Then he just throws all the advice everyone is trying to give back in their face and says he knows what's best for his business. Then just F'ing do it and stop flaimbaiting on the forums.

You certainly are not that oblivious PW, I know you are smarter than that!

Exactly, I print way less than 2k shirts a day, I have no problem affording what most would call a expensive first auto.

I knew the guy was B U LL S H IT after he said he needed to find the most affordable press which was why he was interested in the China Junk, then he says he is swinging towards the Mustang, how the F do you say you can only afford a cheapo then all of a sudden you can afford one of the most priciest, that stunk like fishy Robert all day long.

Now this is too funny you guys take post and make what you want of them. I never said i print 2000 shirts a day. Please feel free, go back and read all of my post. Show me where i said this? I clearly stated that we got a new account and 2000 piece runs are becoming more frequent, creating a bottleneck. Gilligan I'm trying to rationalize with you but you make it impossible. The issues don't lie within me affording a new machine they are within what i'm willing to spend. Yes I can afford a new machine, no i do not want a $700 month payment, simple as that. My wife is getting a new car, I have $700 a week in payroll. House payment 2 kids and all of the other wonderful monthly expenses. I never asked if i could afford one I simply asked information about them. Also graphic for you to make assumptions when you do multiple other forms of embellishing doesn't put you even close to the same category as me. If you were only a screen printer and with the work you currently have, would you still be able to afford your machine, do you have kids a wife a house? So how can you judge one way or the other, lets face it Im here for information on machines not on my financial well being. Lets leave that to my accountant.
Thanks and have a great Easter weekend.

Could I afford it still? Yes. Be a lot tighter, but yes.

I am being honest. I think screen printing and the cost of the equipment is easy to afford if you are printing 2-3 days a week, for those of you printing more it should be really easy. Regardless of your other variables.

ACTUALLY, what you said in this post:
Sporty-Tex Should we give it a go?

I'm not made of money and the last thing I would buy is a new machine is if I didn't need it. I'm running 2000 prints in a day on a jav while a guy stands on the chameleon printing another 100 pieces on darks. This is happening more and more, a 2nd shift would for sure kill my brain, and I'm over 60hr weeks, like I said wife and kids.

So you must forgive me if I took what you said to be factual... I just assumed you were telling us the truth.

My point was maybe you couldn't "afford" a "beta" press and all it's problems if you are that busy and things are only getting busier.

I can see how that may sound like we run that every day, I honestly was just trying to state the fact that large runs 1 maybe 2 a week tie up my machine. Now that we have cleared this up lets get one thing straight. Im not here to put anyone down or question their ability. I feel im a pretty stand up guy but i don't take s hit from anyone. Im not a liar, thief, and im probably one of the most honest business people around. I have a true passion for what i do, I may not have the best business sense but when it comes to production I feel we manage a pretty good flow. I am here for information on machines that is it. Put all the BS aside I am just looking for honest opinions from owners and operators. All the negative crap can be used on someone else.

Honest can be negative some times.

Have a good one

Well, if you ask me "what do you think about an all ice cream diet?" I would tell you that it is a bad idea. That's negative but truthful (honest).
