Well someone had to buy it

May or may not need a little work to get her going as she's been sitting for a while, but we should soon be the smallest volume shop with DTS!

Dude, I looked at that unit and got the whole skinny and my understanding is you got the deal of the century on that thing.  Practically speaking you just scored an i image and I believe you can swap out anything that got funky while it sat. 

Congrats.  There is no shop with an auto that's too small for CTS imho.

You definitely got a deal.  I believe that unit originally sold for like $50k plus.  Even if you have to put new printheads in it you will come out of that deal like a dream.  Congrats!

Yeah, this is Danny's old unit.

M&R gave us an amazing deal on it (Thanks Rich & Alex!) so even if we put work into it we should still be looking good.

We're seriously a tiny shop, but I feel we are to slow even with the auto. Our average job size has dropped from 100-200 to 50-100. So we need to be able to set up and produce screens faster. We are embarrassingly slow on set up. So I'm thinking just in pre-reg time savings we should be able to sneak in a couple extra jobs/week. And if we can start popping the screens in and go this will be the greatest thing to ever happen to us

I'll keep everyone posted how we make out. If a shop as small as ours ends up benefiting, than I think a lot more people will have to look at getting one.
