Yet to be setup, the tech should be here shortly.

It's huge, the picture doesn't do it justice.

The learning curve with the pretreat will be the hardest thing to get right.  We did buy the Viper XPT-6000, which has all digital controls, so repeatability isn't an issue, it's getting it right the first time that is tricky.  Different brands need different amounts of pretreat, and sometimes different colors within a brand.  Also ringspun prints better, less pretreat and less ink than a standard cotton tee.

If we do some cool prints today I will post some up.

You won't like the machine. Tell you what when you had enough of it you can send to me and I will send you our GT541 as a fair and equal trade. ;D

hahaha, at first I was thinking "oh no, did they know somebody that tried it and hated it?"

mike, I've got some mostly full 500cc carts with 2 cap cleaning kits for $200 if you like.  I can weigh the carts to give you the exact amount left in each one if that works.

Man we just bought a full set of the 500 carts lol. can you say $$$$$$$. But let me ask the owner and see if he wants to invest in some more. The brother is a little slow lately, embroidery is whats been really busy. Printing is just average for this time of year. The weather is not helping at all.

yeah, I understand.  the ink isn't compatible at all, and I sure wasn't going to send these carts back mostly full. 

We are training today and printing some stuff, I'll take some pics and the new carts make the old ones look tiny...they are about 2ft long.
