I'm the new guy
« on: April 28, 2017, 02:20:30 PM »
I might not be doing this correctly but I was told to introduce myself.  I am Charlie, my kids nicknamed me Chucklier.  I thought it was a cool nickname so I used for my user name.  I am a print floor supervisor and have worked in the industry for 25 years. The weird thing is I am still learning everyday.  To much to know in this industry.  We have several automatic screen printing presses and print millions of shirts a year. As you know I am new I will ask you to be gentle.

Welcome...you've come to a good place.

You can never assume you know everything in this industry.  With inks and ingredients and fabrics constantly changing, it's always a learning game.

hi Charlie,

welcome aboard! Glad to have you with us, you'll find us to be a friendly bunch! Lotsa information sharing here and most of it is pretty good. I would imagine that with 25 years of experience we'll get a chance to learn something from you!
Did you guys buy and of the ROQs yet? We picked up two last year and could not be happier. . .

Hey Charlie!
Yep, it's amazing that this is an industry quite simple to enter, but that also has so many levels and nuances, that more than 30 years in I am still constantly humbled.

Blue Moon, We have looked at the Roq's as well as others.  We certainly think they have a made a press that is efficient, simple, and sturdy.  Very few moving parts, claims of zero pallet deflection, and it runs super smooth.

The two presses you guys purchased were for replacement or adding?  If replacement, can I asked what you replaced and why?  I can send an email if you would like not to discuss that on the shirt board.

we added 2 presses to the MHM E-Type that we still have. The idea was to use the ROQs and have the old press as standby. So this was both an upgrade and addition.

feel free to reach out via PM if you'd like more info.
