I'm Part of the BLUE TEAM now......

[Crazy Mike]

Well Monday I decided we need another manual press asap with our new hire taking to manual printing so well.

I saw the Kruzer at the Indy show last month and was really impressed.

Called Rich at 7pm Monday and told him I needed a Kruzer.
On Tuesday he had them starting the paper work.
Wednesday they shipped it.
On Thursday we received it at noon.
65 hours from first contact till delivery.
Now I'm really really impressed.

Kruzer is how I make most of my money and my only shirt printing press.  I love it!

It is alot more impressive to see it up close than in a picture.

That's how I felt as a young man seeing Carol Doda!

The Kruzer is an awesome press... we were looking at a Workhorse 6c and a Vastex 6c, both of which were nearly 2x more...

We use the Kruzer all the time here and everybody that uses it loves it... while the other presses would have been ok, it sure is nice to be able to trilock as well as share platens with the auto, oh, and I did I mention it was 1/2 the cost?

You use the Tri-Loc with the Kruzer?

I've had mine about 3 weeks.  That, the Starlight and the flash I got from you are the best money I have spent.  Very impressed so far, even with my far from stellar levelling!  Way better than the Brown junk I had, well have sitting here.

I have, it works ok, though I suppose if I choked more than i choke for the auto it would work better, but I don't always have the opportunity to know what press we're going to put something on.

In the 100s of setups we've done on it, I think we've hit perfect registration once.

[Racer Tees]

I'm only choking bases 2px at 600dpi now on the Kruzer.  But I'm registering everything off a film on the platen.  Not sure how much time a Tri-Loc would save me as I can have it registered and be adding ink to a 6 color job in about 15-20 min.

[jvanick]

That's a great setup time.  I wouldn't feel too bad about that.

we sorta 'have' to use the trilock on the manual due to the fact that we don't print registration marks or anything that needs to be taped off... if we don't use the trilock we have nothing to register to.

[Racer Tees]

Well.... I got 4 to tape. Takes extra time.  Could be worse I guess.

I'm just happy I can burn screens for a 6 color print in under 20 minutes instead of 3 hours.

I had to look that up. Wow - niice. Thanks for the shared knowledge.

May have you beat Andy. Used to run into Andy Warhol at Max's Kansas City NYC. He had his own room roped off.

speaking of reggie marks, I'll gotten to where I only put one on our art and thats just to keep center other than that I set up with printed black plate or use my homemade reggie system.
