We are super stoked!! We closed a sweet deal on a 14/16 M&R Guantlet 3, a couple Red Chili D's, and a nice big ole Sprint 2000, 60" belt with 12' of heat. Can't wait for install and to feel the speed. It's been a long process of researching and planning. We can't thank Rich Hoffman enough for having us out to M&R back in December and then coming in person to visit us and our shop the week after Mother's day to see what we had going on and what he felt would be a smart move for us. He came here back in 2008 or so, and then this visit had a huge difference from back then. It is amazing how he can walk into a shop and immediately see weak points or areas that need a change to make a shop more efficient. We, like anyone else gave the long process of time a fair chance at looking at other new gear on the market and we did see some nice stuff out there, but at the end of the day loyalty and piece of mind for us rested with M&R. I know there are other good things around that fit for other folks, but to us, there is something special about the owner of such a big company being so humble to take his personal time when he could have been at a theme park enjoying time with his family coming to spend a morning with us and offer help in areas that we truly needed it. And as always, Rich makes himself available if there are every concerns. I watch friends with other brands do a dance when ever they need help on issues and I personally can't take that type of stress. So as much as M&R pounds the point about being number 1 in service, we also want to be able to sleep at night knowing that this team is always behind us. There were a lot of friends here on this board that have taken their personal time to offer help and opinions/support during the past 2 year process and I want to thank all of you. Alan, Ryan, Alex, Diggler, Danny, Pierre, Doug, Tance, Eric, Brad, Rich, heck, Sam, heck I know I'm missing someone, but you know who you are. I know time is precious to all of us and the fact that so many of you took the time to speak with me, or chat through emails about a huge desicion like this means a lot. Oh Yeah, Dave(Bimmridder) ;D, and Alex M. Anyways, we are excited, huge huge undertaking for us at our little shop, We will be undergoing a total shop wide transformation out there over the next few weeks from total power service upgrade to an complete shop layout change, plus keeping our busy work flow days flowing. Awesome Stuff, God is good, and we are truly blessed!!!

Thanks guys, a day like today, feeling under the weather, it's like 100 degrees and high humid in the shop, we so wish we had it going now to get it all done faster and lock up early for the day lol. I need to set up what Diggler has at his shop with the a/c drops over the work stations, that's pretty pimp!
-
That's a LOT of press and i am sure it will serve you well.. congrats on the upgrade!

You suck, I am jealous. Congrats man.

Congrats! Can't wait to get our order placed for the G3!
I would love to see some pics of the install!
-
Congrats on your investment as I'm sure this extremely well engineered and built press will serve you well. In fact, if I were to begin printing again, that's the press I would buy. 8)

Mike,
A major congrats. I'm sure you will be grinning from ear to ear when the truck pulls up. I happy for you man.
-
Huge congrats Mike, that press is a beast! And a 12ft Sprint to boot!! Cheers man... :)
-
I forgot to mention. Say good bye to revolver!!!!
-
Congratulations!
-
Thanks guys.
Doug you know all too well how handy revolver can be, but when those color counts on orders keep increasing, always revolver running kills the clock. We can't wait. Also the chili D'S having the smart sensor technology is sweet verses multiple radiant panel flashes. The go to index feature for set ups, ink dam, ink dip, man I can't wait. The print head's functions will be sweet on lower color count jobs for setting up multiple set ups, and just going from one to the next, or print a test for customers approval and instead of waiting, being able to go into another run until test print is approved will be nice and time consuming. We've been on an all heads chop air head press all along so the change should be awesome.

keep that dback! you will be glad you did!
-
Hey man I was happy to talk and really get to know you! That's a big ass press, and all this time I thought you were looking at a Kruzer! ;D
Congratulations! I know you guys are going to kill it!

That came in so perfect for us when we slowed down during the holidays and we forever thank you!!! Not to mention your non-biased support and opinions on our decisions. We just appreciate ya man!
