Actually the best part is he doesn't even have to.....the machines work. But the fact that he does shows hes confident in what they build and how well they build it.

it is right after a huge Long Beach show and A.C. show. That put about 30 presses in front of yours of your model. We will try to do better.

I know of many printers locally and nation wide that run machines well past the 10 year mark. One of your machines right here in town, pushing 21 years.
When the Blue Max was in production parts were made by the thousands and cost was low. Now that the press is out of production parts are run on a as needed basis and as such are much more expensive. Some must be batched to run any amount and those parts are usually available but some may take weeks to get the material and then manufacturer a one off.

Based on what we have read thus far, Would it be ok for another manu like Workhorse to go visit tbayprint and interfere with M&R's contract by delivering a Falcon M?
Tbayprints delivery will be exactly or sooner than what was quoted at time of order. Nice spin as usual but won't work!

I know why. Ordered his equipment from the wrong people!! Losing $150,000 in one case and $80,000 in another case is enough to make both be on the roof. BTY there are others that should be on the roof as well. Ask some people in El Salvador why they should be up their as well!

The fact that it will be delivered is amazing if you buy a Printex. F U C K Printex machines don't cost anything to build, ask my 16 color Prism ll " The Phantom Model"! The profit margin on a Printex is the best in the industry and they sell the same machine 5-6 times, get paid for it and never make it. Guys we are in the wrong business! If you want to make money with no overhead and product sell Printex, It works for RWB

Funny thing I have heard Rich for many years now state that after trade shows lead times are a bit longer than typical. So nothing new there Robert and atleast the CEO of M&R has the professionalism to come here and explain truthfully why such is such.

And just to add don't most of us here increase our lead times when busy season comes around, granted we always beat our lead times but it is safer to tell the customer a certain lead time just in case you either get swamped or unforeseen issues arise.
