Some are definitely M&R and still have stickers - unreadable manufactured date though on them


Back of typical platen in the set of 14


The better looking platens have this sticker, made in 2010-2011, not M&R then?


Difference in platens


Worst platen


The brackets do all seem the same on all of the platens though.

I am pretty sure these are ours. We used both stickers and the bracket is ours.

Were you finger painting on them? I have to admit My boards get thick enough with lint and waterbase tack that I have to raise my off contact some times.

We have done 0 prints on them haha...and there's a TAPOUT print on one of the platens too that's funny.

Scrap aluminum isn't worth it...maybe someone else would want to buy and resurface these instead and we could put the money towards new ones.  Anyway we have awhile to figure it out since our buildings electrical still needs to be upgraded before we can use the CH3.
