support,etc. The exchange rates have been a factor,. I am very surprised
that they did not open another operation in a lower cost country to
complement Austrailia. They are very Reliable,well built machines!

A year or so ago, drunk as a skunk in a bar in Shenzhen, I met up with an Aussie guy I had seen earlier in the week at a tea tol factory. He was an agent for product, but I think he also organized setting up JV's in Asia and he knew machines so had training. He was telling me way back then of some tie up between SRoque and TAS and to watch that space. Actually may have been longer ago than that and nothing has happened in that space, but it could have made sense. He preferred the TAS there in the humidity and dust and leaky roofs over the MHM and MnR because the locals could keep them running so much easier.

Dude, THIS is the machine YOU should be selling!

It basically means if you don't agree with the few Blue Tools around here you are an idiot and deserve to go out of business

If you persist on disagreeing with them they will google bomb your business, welcome to DigitSmith

Well if you can't talk about other machines then go kick rocks! Hand puppet? You sound like the hand puppy! FYI the list of my machines I'm interested since it will make you cream your pants would be:
MnR Diamondback XL - where else can you get an 8 color press with servo that prints 20 x 20 for 35K?

Brown Electraprint- because I just flat out like the company/family.

Anatol Stratus II - because I like the feature sets of Anatol.

I hope that pleases you!

I think he is getting you mixed up with that eee guy who is a puppet of Barnes.

This is where I seen that Tas is coming out with an entry level press. Only a 16x16 print area though which is a bummer.

Gerry, for a little bit more, maybe 20% you would get one of the leftover RPM 8 Colours. IMHO it's twice the machine of the diamondback for not that much more. Go on YouTube and check out Alans RPM. It's a whole class above. It's not just the investment but the return on investment over its lifespan. I think it's twice the machine of the Brown through the changeover times which keeps you invoicing and turning work over quicker.

I here what you're saying PW, I am really impressed with the RPM. The only downfall I see is according to rpms website is the print area of only 16x18. I would love to be able to do that 20x20 and so would some of my customers.
