Hi there.
Take the shocks of the press and take it to the closest Auto Zone od any Auto parts store. They should have something similar.
Videos, the biggest collection on Youtube is http://www.youtube.com/user/Ryonet  A lot of advertising, but also a lot of good stuff for newbs.
Flash blower thingy is not good, save money for a small conveyor (used can be found for around 1000).
As they said, pull the ink with thumbs about 1/2" apart, if it cracks it is not cured.
Let the shirts cool down a bit before you stack the, and have a healthy habit of using 100 % cotton instead of 50/50. No die migration and shirts do not get that hot.

Also, good luck and welcome

Ditto what DK said about the auto parts store.  They have a pretty large selection.

Also about the dryer... may seem like a large investment but it's a good one.  I was doing the flash cure (block as you say) for final cure and quickly was getting frustrated.  Not to say my frustrations went away with the dryer but they are marginalized a bit.  You are able to concentrate on printing vs curing with a dryer.

So i took my gas springs to auto zone, it appears my springs are very short and they do not carry a replacement.

My originals are Suspa c16-06692, 6.6" extended, 4.6 compressed, 125 lbs

Does anyone know where to find some this small w/o paying $120 for the total set of four?

Until then, i tried to figure out where I would put bungee cords, i have no idea. Can anyone spell this out for me or post a picture of the setup?

Thanks~

Tifferpoo
