"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Sam, call me. Hehe, actually I have to call you. I am losing an employee and I have no idea what to do. There are so many opportunities that I am not sure what type of a person to hire.
I have a 6/8 Diamondback.IMHO, it depends on your market and your plan. I do not regret getting a 6/8.Obviously we run a flash on head 2 so only have 5 heads to print on. We have done some high end 4cp on the machine and a lot of your bread and butter 2, 3 color stuff.It has been good to us. I can't recall a job we had to turn down because we couldn't print it. I'm a "little" older and don't plan on expanding much more. Our business is not just printing and embroidery, we have several businesses we run.What does your business plan say? Are you going to go after the multi color high volume stuff? There is a lot of competition for that , overseas and here. Are you going to be the fast turn around, "guy to go to"? Seems to be a lot of that business. With an auto you won't believe how fast you can turn the jobs.Whatever your decision, good luck, and call if you would like.Terry
