HELP ME Buy a Right Automatic Screen printing machines

[Kwan]

Edit on 12/14

Hello Fellow Users.
My name is Kwan from NYC, I am not in screen printing business. My First class of screen print was 12/05/2013 (lol).
Wish I could attend any trade show to check out demo, unfortunately we need to make this purchase before New Year.

It is proven that I am new but I love to explore new options and expand my search, so please help and guide me to pickup right equipment

So far following printer I am interested, however I haven't truly decided yet. I must explore much more with everyone's help here,

- Mini-Trooper Start-Up Screen Printing Package MSRP $19,700.00

- Brown "ElectraPrint Junior Automatic Textile" 4 Color 7 Station $18,995.00


- Workhorse for "Freedom" 6 Color 8 Station Starting at $21,800

- M & R for "Diamondback S" 6 Color 8 Station MSRP $27k

- S. Roque for "You P10M" 8 Color 10 Station MSRP $49k


Reason of purchase:
We are running a successful online business for past 10 Years and we really have a huge amount of fans. Beginning of this year we want to make our fans happy so we decided we'd do a free giveaway. Year of 2013, we offered a lot of stuff including 2500 Tee-Shirt per week.

In an effort to keep our fans happy in 2014, we will be increasing our give-away (Tee-Shirts) from 2500 to 5000+ per week.
Final conclusion; we want to take a control and open up our own Tee-Shirts print department (before christmas) and create more jobs


My Budget is almost up to my Neck so I planing following;

I will be picking up only 6 color machine for now, will upgrade to 8 in future if need.
I will just pickup one flash cure under the printhead for now, will upgrade up to 4 if need


Air compressor and Dryer is undecided (please help to pick the right one with reasonable price - left over Budget is very limited)

My request is to my fellow users, please guide and help me to make my project successful.

Your input will be greatly appreciated

"LIKE" 

That was for you Gilligan.

Well, he did ask for advice about compressor and dryer, but obviously, there must be (or at least should be) hundreds of other questions before jumping into water this deep.

[Printficient]

Might I recommend a 8 color Precision Oval.  Probably pick one up for under 8k.  No compressor needed.  This is a good starter press.  OK guys let me have it

[TCT]

How many CFM are you needing for the press?

You will have to forgive us, but the post(along with the one immediately following it) seem rather vague and almost in a SPAM fashion. I would be happy to help you out as well would some other members but can you expand on what kind of info or suggestions you are looking for? Do you just need a compressor and dryer? You have EVERYTHING else under control?

Smells like a RRRRRRRRRRRRRRARH WUBBBBBBBBYA BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEE POST LOL

May not be but it's certainly got the flavor.

Sorry Stan,
Can't make private calls.
My first step is to stay here with community and organize my plan together before any purchase.

I was thinking that, or who remembers Habeeb from TSPMB?

Sorry Stan,
Can't make private calls.

? really, you can't make a call to talk to the #1 screen equipment supplier in N.A. about you upcoming screen equipment purchase? Because it's a personal call?

Absolutely incorrect,
Lack of my knowledge in screen printing area, I need to prepare my self in community first. Please understand open discussion here can be valuable gift to others.

[MrBreeze]

I'm having a Habeeb flashback!

My apologies,

Best wishes on your venture. 

I look forward to benefiting from the discussion to help you make your decision on the press you've already decided on.
