That is about as personal as dear john letters.

And besides the Mustang presses are being sold by Griffin Hawk LLC.

So if I treat you like ***** and curse you out on the forums you would still want to do business with me?

Rick, 244 , Preston. What stuff? Please elaborate. We all want to know what MnR own and licence to RPM that Mustang can't use. Just saying stuff or thing or bits or components is just frustrating. What exactly is omitted off the Mustang. Describe, explain?

Yes the same company 2M will be making the press that was making the RPM but that is where your facts end. I can't wait to see how this is going to play out in court as I am pretty sure that is where this is headed.

I love how we've gone from Printex now to this.. Man i tell ya the screen printing drama doesn't end. I love it!

Last week i was wondering if people that make other machinery and their customers troll and flame each other on boards?

Like the people that make the machines that make the tillamook cheese. Do they fight with the people that make the machines that make the velveta cheese?

Screw your cheese machine! No screw YOUR cheese machine!

That'd be awesome!

Want to guess who and what's behind Griffin Hawk LLC ? it's pretty clear to see just like the Printex machines Barnes makes sure his name is on nothing except the installation. When the proverbial **** hits the fan the end user is left dealing with a LLC or a company in Poland. If customers were smart they would get him or you to sign up for responsibility of the sale and a whole lot of the scamming would cease. That is if there is any going on. LOL!

That would only happen if Barnes worked at either one!

RPM Legal Notice / RPM Customer Notice

Quote:

August 13, 2011

RPM is an LLC started in 1997 owned and operated solely by Rick Fuqua. RPM has remained a successful manufacturer, seller and servicer of screen printing equipment for nearly 14 years.

This is a copy/paste from the IRS.gov website about an LLC with a Single Member ... interesting how they are called a "disregarded entity"

A single member LLC (SMLLC) can be either a corporation or a single member "disregarded entity". Again, to be treated under federal law as a corporation, the SMLLC has to file Form 8832 and elect to be classified as a corporation. An SMLLC that does not elect to be a corporation will be classified by the existing federal guidance as a "disregarded entity" which is taxed as a sole proprietor for income tax purposes.

Quote:

RPM recently settled a legal dispute with M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. on terms wholly satisfactory to both parties. This settlement gives RPM the undisputed rights to utilize certain features on its RPM Revolution, but no other seller of machines that might be similar to the Revolution is granted any rights to use these features.

This lawsuit by M&R was based primarily on the absence of (2) little metal sensor flags -and- (1) sensor ... below is a rendering of the new Mustang Printers design -and- below it is a pic of the Rhino/RPM Revolution (without flags/sensor)

Can you imagine the amount of $$$ that was spent by M&R -and- RPM to have a court case filed/fought over something soooooo silly :-@

Here is the first page of the Lawsuit ...

Quote:

Next, RPM's vendor and exclusive contractual relationships were recently compromised in an unethical and unlawful manner by another party, to the substantial detriment of RPM and the market place. These actions will not be tolerated, nor will they affect RPM's continued existence and success.

Spiderman does not really understand what is "unethical and unlawful" when people adjust their business relationships based on a given situation (good -or- bad)

Quote:

RPM continues in business with no plans or agreements to sell or to authorize any company or person to represent itself as an RPM agent or replacement entity. Any person or business representing a product or products similar to RPM's with the complete digital / electronic features, including the features licensed from M&R, the totality of which make the RPM Revolution unique in the market, would be in violation of the above mentioned rights and agreements between RPM and M&R. Those rights will be aggressively enforced against all infringing parties, and notice thereof is hereby given to any purchasers of such products.

Ironic ... knowing that the financial demise of the situation for RPM was primarily due to M&R's Legal Actions ... had they just stuck with (2) metal flags -and- (1) sensor ... well we know the rest of the story :-@
