I had to cancel my trip. 
if anyone happens to be at the brother booth looking at the new GTX, I'd love some feedback about it compared to the 3 series. I have an opportunity to purchase a new 361 with new pretreat and new heatpress for 15k all in but if the gtx is really worth the extra money I might go that route instead. With all the fixin's I'd be looking at 27,300 on the gtx so a $12,300 difference. I haven't heard much about it since brother launched it and can't find any real world user reviews, just info from brother and their sales partners. I would appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks!

Thank You to Mr Richard for his expert shuttle service and dinner recommendation in the FQ last night.   I shared dinner with Gilligan, Pierre, Richard Greaves and this tubby t-shirt guy from Indiana.  Your hospitality was first class as well as the seafood, even though the hush puppies were kind of average.

Have a great show

Same here, had to cancel more work came in with bad deadlines from some of our really good customers and they come first, but I was dang sure looking forward to it.

So it has come and gone and I still have but one question that looms large after seeing a lot of the ingenuity this industry offers:

When did Alan start selling televisions on the side?

Minute 1:40

Perhaps this is why he didn't show...again.

I can't dance like that, at least not till the new knee gets put in.  I'm still running a successful shop, unlike some blowhards around here .

My definition of success is "Having the time and the money to enjoy my time, at the same time". 

Over the years I have been flat broke with tons of time and also so busy I don't have the time to take the checks to the bank or do anything else for that matter. 

See previous definition for insight in the balance required to productively and PROFITably attend industry events.

My 2 cents...

I got a chance to see the 6000 in action at the SGIA Expo.  They put a black shirt on it and started printing.  First the white which took ~30 seconds?  I wasn't timing it.  But when the color started coming down on the second pass, it was quick!  And the print looked great.

Then I moseyed on over to where they were showing the GTX.  Also a black shirt.  They hit the start button and the print was done in like 10 seconds!  Second pass?  GTX don't need no stinkin' second pass.  The print may have even looked better than the print from the 6000.  When you factor in the lack of required maintenance, it gets even better.

If I had the $22,000 laying around, I would definitely be getting a GTX.
