Well a buddy had 2 skid steers and had a plan, but then he only sent one.. no go.

Also our lot is at a slant.

We did end up getting a flatbed to pull I out on, and a skid steer with forks to make sure it didn't tip over.

I uncrated and then it was problem solving to get it off the damn crate.

But did it and now in position.

Can not wait to use it!

They are big girls, but we have a dock so its always been pretty straight forward.

Tilt bed wrecker is the safest way if you don't have a dock. Pallet jack out of the truck onto the wrecker then tilt onto the ground.
Move slow and think twice...

a while back we bought a used 8 head Tajima - the one with the larger sewing area...  that was annoying to take off the truck even with the forklift and fork extensions.

It's best to hire a rigging company.  They are damn good at their jobs...and insured.

What a beast to get off the truck and in my shop, uncrate and put where it needs to go...

I do not want to do that gain.

Link?

Angle certainly matters, that's a no-no.

The spray may be the cyanoacrylate (super glue) activator, basically makes it cure super quick.

Screen Making / Making Screen's Question
« Last post by 3Deep on March 17, 2025, 02:02:37 PM »
Ok I ran across a post on instagram show a shop that re-mesh and makes screen's, as I watched the vid they had all the correct machine's but they glued and sprayed with insta spray.  Now my comment was I didn't think the glue and spray would last very long for new or re-meshed screen's even though I use it to fix edges coming up from my old screen's. Another comment was about the angle of the mesh to the frame's the OG said mesh is mesh and it didn't matter how you put it on, I'm thinking I would never buy new or re-meshed frames from them because if the mesh is not put on correct you would never print halftones through that mesh without moire, so what do you all think about this I'm I wrong in thinking mesh just can't be glued on in any kind of angle?

Looking like we may be picking up a new in box, unused epson F series 44"w printer. Only thing that i worry about is its only CMYK... some of the higher end models have extra carts for either fluro's or expanded color range. Not sure how critical that will be for us. I guess we just need to get running first to see how were actually going to put this into action. The Mimakis looks nice as well but having had experience with the old 7600's / 9600's im really trending towards epson.

Laser cutters are a whole nother thing... the units they're making now are insane.

Belt feed, dual axis / head with CCD cameras and everything. Probably overkill.... but if we're going to do it why not go all the way. Anyone know how sensitive these lasers are to heat / humidity / dust? I'd like to keep them on the production floor with the heat press / screen print and everything else. I really don't want to have to build a room and pipe in AC.
