Hello from California
« on: February 07, 2012, 08:17:57 PM »
Hello All

Robert from All Premiums here to introduce my self. Located in Mountain View, CA right in the heart of Silicon Valley Started pulling squeegees in 1985 out of a garage, by 1986 had 1500 sf a 6 head embroidery machine, 2 manual press's and 6 employees. Around 1993 got involved in ASI chatchkees thus the name All Premiums. . Thru the 90's we became on of the key contract decorators in the bay area growing to 10 color Tas autos and 18 embroidery heads and 22 employees on 2 shifts. 2002 was the start of the melt down with my corporate accounts, we re evaluated what we were doing and got completely out of the contract thing and only worked with the end users. Found it was better for us to print less volume at higher margins which has worked well for us. We recently installed a MHM press ( yes I am THAT guy ) and although it was one of the most trying experiences of my career the out come is amazing with our 10 color S Type press ( I will post on the MHM press thread soon) I hope to chime in with my 2 cents once in a while and help answer any questions I can and have enjoyed lurking this last month, looks like a good core group.

Look forward to being here

Robert..

Robert,

Sorry I didn't get ahold of you when I was in long beach. I had really very little time to do anything. I has 3 classes that took up a ton of time. I only got about a hour and a half to hit the show floor. I saw what I needed to.

How is the S-type?
