Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

I have no idea if that's what they ment or not in the video. Which is why i didn't assume one way or another. I simply am point out that maybe it's the two presses combined.... I know what fast looks like remember we have a press that will run over 200dz a hour. That's terrific, I had forgotten that you would know exactly what fast is. We can't even print at half that speed. Our press will only run at 84dz a hour. I'm almost ashamed of it actually. It really is embarrassing. LOL, ya because I suggested we run our press that fast or that mattered who's was faster. I didn't. I suggested just like you that you have seen what fast looks like. That's all.

I only take seriously those who would actually do it if I were in the same room. But do it to your heart's content if it makes you feel good.Wow this really went far from just a simple question. If you assumed the poster was talking about 1 press, then you have proven them wrong! No debate about it. I asked you a very simple question. Sorry if I found it silly to assume what the person posting the video meant since clearly the were videoing more than one press in the video. To me that could easily mean they were adding them together. Have you done the addition to see if that was 1700pcs a hour? As far as doing anything different here as I would if someone were in the same room? I mean seriously let's think about this. You and I watch this youtube video together in the same room. You note the press first in the video isn't running 1700pcs per hour, I agree because its not. I ask you do you think they were counting both presses? If I have this right you think I wouldn't say that to you in person?

Alan how do you know they weren't adding the two presses together?

If I have this right you think I wouldn't say that to you in person? Screw Darryl's feelings . If anyone really thinks the guy meant 1700/hr with two presses how about I have Tommy Boy come to your shop and hit you over the head with a tack hammer...you know the rest of the quote. This did go far from just a simple question like you stated but for me it has way more to do with comments in threads past and little things said in threads having nothing to do with arguments in the past. I should be bigger and ignore those things that I know were said in a thread meant as a thinly veiled swipe towards me and said only half-jokingly at the time. But it's meant as a complete joke if called out on it and not a joke at all to those who agree with you or find it clever. It's a creative way to take a little shot at someone without them being able to really know for sure if it was meant for them because you can always backtrack and say that the person is being way too sensitive and the comment was in no way meant as it was received.
I also feel (and I'm sure you'll correct me again if I'm way off base) that if the press in that video was an MHM or a Pretendtex that the question that set me off would have never been asked.
My comment about being in the same room didn't have anything to do with posing a question like you did in that scenario you laid out. I just think that people on forums, especially our great place here, should act in a manner and say things only if they would do it exactly as if that person was in the same room with them. It's human nature to say things and act way bigger than one is when your interaction is through a computer screen and I try to act and say things as if that barrier wasn't there. I could still do a better job of that, and I could also let things roll off my back a little better but it's a buildup of lots of little things that can set me off and that's what happened with that one simple question. I apologize to those who hate when things get tense in here. This is the best place for screen printers and I have been a part of that getting messed up in the past. I do try my best to never start anything and like I said earlier I try my best to act in a way that represents a person to person setting but sometimes I let not-so-innocent comments get to me more than they should.
