Hey Kwan if you ever want to try a test market or want to promote in Canada let me know, I'm sure I can save you the border hassle.

Sorry shameless plug,

this offer is also for anyone else, I would also be interested to partner with a shop down there that i could do the same. It is an issue every once and a while for me when a customer has a USA division and NAFTA friendly shirts are
limited or not available.

I've had my Brown ElectraPrint for nearly 3 years, and in that time I've had maybe 1 hour of down time. The problem was solved with one phone call to Brown.

Brown equipment has served me well and suits MY needs just fine. Kwan, it seems you have done extensive research, and I for one think you are intelligent enough to make a decision in obtaining equipment that will suit YOUR needs just fine. 8)

Best of luck!

Thanks tony,
Please accept my sincere thanks. I look forward to future collaboration.

Just an opinion here but I'd take a used M&R with no warranty over any of those 2 presses new with a warranty. 

Warranty or not...you'll be down for days and you'll still have to pay for transportation if I'm not mistaken...wouldn't it make more sense to by something that even used will be more reliable than your choices...and then to boot you won't have to take a 1/2 price hit after 2 years.

Sorry if this is harsh...and I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time...but with those #'s that your running and the presses that you mentioned you may just want to pay a tech to live on site at your location.

No worries, Thanks for your comment,

Up untill about 3 weeks ago I had 2 Lawsons in my shop... a Trooper and an Apollo. Both were 6 color 8 station. The Apollo I bought new in the mid 90's and the other I bought used around 4 years ago. They both were fun and easy to print with. The style of printing you are doing would be a perfect match for you.... Don't worry about breakdowns because there is not that much to go wrong with them. Good luck on your printing adventure..................
