Rockstar is a pretty sweet supplier--Randy knows his stuff, although I'm going to miss Shelly.
I haven't dealt with Jennifer much, but from what Shelly mentioned, she came from Graphic Elephants, so I'm under the impression she's no slouch either.   :)
 
They carry used gear and new Anatol as well.

That is a great press that has been for sale for a looooonnnggg time. I think they want 14k for everything and aren't budging on the price.

Hello All,

I worked in the corporate life for 24 years and that changed the end of last year and now I'm starting my own Screen Printing business. I’m starting with nothing but a 2,000 SF workspace and a lot of desire. I do realize I have a lot to learn and willing to put in the time. This site was recommended to me from one of your members and it looks like a great site to gather much needed information and guidance.

Welcome aboard............for what it is worth I did exactly the same thing nearly 12 years ago starting with embroidery then into screen printing. Best bumpy dusty frustrating ride you will ever have .....enjoy the ride & the boards.

I noticed that the listing right below the 13K listing was the same equipment and they were looking for somebody to partner with them and run it so they might not know what they want right now.

Mooseman, Thanks for the words, it helps to know there are success's in the goals I have set for myself from others in the same situation.

This one is close to home but I've heard nothing about this manufacture.  It's a Lawson 6 color press /4 platen. Here is the craigslist listing - http://westslope.craigslist.org/bfs/3063385138.html

Any suggestions on this?

Good press if it's been taken care of. Not the best. I think someone here runs one.
