I gladly offer my knowledge and experience to people in this industry to help them make informed equipment buying decisions.

That’s my story and it’s one that I’m proud to tell it.

That's an excellent story, as a man of means like yourself, what are you willing to do to help Printex penetrate the USA market so that it can regain some sales and have the financial wherewithal to right its ship with these USA customers

Show us that you are the industry guy you claim to be, open the doors at NaZdar and take Printex under your wing and help

The most respected industry professional in the screen printing world. Let's call him YOUR Jesus.

Runs one of the most successful businesses in the screen printing industry. A person that is a industry professional and cares about people in general EVEN when they aren't buying his products.

A person who reached out to you to try to help you get your metal issues under control, even though your true colors were apparent very early on (before even speaking with you). I don't like to see people buy machines and not get them, or not get what was advertised. You continue to rip people off in those respects. Fact.

He's your own customer, imagine that. You have taken payment for 3 machines of his around a year ago and he still only has 2. Reader should know that.

Industry professional that cares about people in general and doesn't want to see people get ripped off MORE by you.

Another one of your own customers. You delivered a press with surprise shipping costs, not as pictured in adverts, does not print the print area as advertised, and a host of other issues that are not only dangerous but indicate sloppy manufacturing and backed up with even worse support.

JMD has been watching you close for years, he also doesn't like to see people ripped off.

You have more aliases than anyone, often creating one or more a day, is the interesting part. So maybe you should watch where you throw stones from that glass house in that respect.

Are you saying that people should not do business with Robert Barnes

inkman996 · March 27th, 2012, 08:26 AM

To the OP what you should find out is the real story behind Miami's 2 beta machines, Robert certainly will not tell you and the obvious lack of vids and pics of the machines should tell you there is something going on behind the scenes. There is lots of rumors about the two machines probably mostly false but there is some actual facts do your self a favor and find out. If you think you can afford to be like Miami ha go for it lol.

He was kicked out of the trade show for multiple reasons and adding to his fat belly was not one of them.

First of all a trade show is set up for vendors to show case to end users like us. Robert is and never was an end user he is in the vendor side of the business, he had one reason only to be there and that is to further his type of business. To be fair to all other vendors he needed to pay for a pass above the level of a normal end user, he cried like a little girl as suspected because its not fair so he says lol.

Also he was kicked out because of numerous complaints of him sneaking up to people and having pictures taken with them, everyone was gracious to him but some did lodge complaints of his actions.

Robert will not spend money in the conventional way like most of the rest of manu's, and when he tries to take advantage of others hard work he cries unfair, again it shows his true colors.

What about taking a picture and emailing it was hard work? Maybe this is why you struggle with how to build, represent, and sell quality printing equipment. After all if taking a picture is hard for you, well that says a lot!

Who is PushingInk and why does he care so much?
Who is californiadreamin and why does he care so much?
Who is inkman996 and why does he care so much?
Who is jmd and why does he care so much?

Then, we have all seen the numerous aliases that are here just to bash like "The Bumper" who are these people and what are their behind the scenes motives?

I am the guy who you stole my 80k if ANYONE want to call me and discuss 563-593-4654 Jeff

And why do I care so much?? You will see why!

you and the other Blue Crew are making every effort to trash talk every brand that RWB is associated with, for god's sake Alan802 is trash talking the Mustang (the newer version of his RPM Revolution) it is so obvious to the readers here what is going on behind the scenes, do you not look in the mirror when you shave?

Lets stick to the facts:

Robert Barnes sold 15-20 presses in 2-3 years.

Me being one of the RETARED customers.

He is NO threst the guy is BROKE period.

He has failed at every venture in business.

Robert Barnes is at best a mouth piece and a keyboard junkie.

Robert Barnes has stole many customers money and delivered the goods

He has Michael in Florida that they gave 2 machines to test, yes gave FREE to use.

Robert Barnes has no technical field support except him, Brian his old tech got ripped off by Robert.

If Robert was a sales manager for a company and sold only 20-30 presses in 2-3 years he would be fired!

Third, if China offers "no credit check" direct financing it really becomes a game of how quickly can China sign everyone up

Finally, now that the Big Blue Lawsuit is over and everyone has had their day in court, we as an industry should be ready for some change in the status quo

BUYERS BEWARE!
If you are thinking of purchasing any type of screen printing equipment, I highly advise you to stay clear of Robert Barnes from Spider Machines. He sells Printex,Mustang Printers and has several business fronts.

Since your purchase is going to be a very big decision, I recommend that you research Robert Barnes so that you can see for yourself, that he has not only stolen from printing companies, but has also sold equipment falsely advertised as well as not working properly, or not even delivered the equipment.
Below is a quick copy and past of a few members here on this forum that will honestly tell their story of how Robert Barnes has ripped them off. I suggest that you take a few moments to read it, and if you follow up by contacting these people, they will surely convince you not to do business with him or his company!

Robert Barnes goes by many alias' on this forum...more than can be counted.
Ask the following people on this forum about their experience with Robert Barnes, or private message me here!
