Kwan, perhaps you can tell us a bit about your screen printing lesson and what made you decide on the press you mentioned.
Have you attended the New Jersey show?

I have no prior knowledge on screen printing (before 11/11/2013 - lol). After meeting with my advisory department, I've come to the conclusion that we build our own Screen print department instead off hiring private contractors. I certainly believe that I am at the right place (forum), this will allow me to get educational information on screen print equipment.

According to my research, P10-M is in my budget and offers the best for tomorrow (for me need). I am not planing to offer services in future, This machine is only to print our promotional Tee-Shirt.

My apologies,

Best wishes on your venture. 

I look forward to benefiting from the discussion to help you make your decision on the press you've already decided on.

Thanks

Do you have dryer, exposure unit, screens, computer and film printer and knowledge to do this. Even coating screen and exposing screens with know knowledge can be handful. I would do just as another suggested contract out and save time and money. Until you totally understand the consequences of what all you are talking about. You still have a long way to go. Money wise and knowledge wise. 15 years of doing this has told me that.

Currently we will be using third party for Exposure Unit and film printer (until the funds available to purchase).

Need help to purchase screen, Dryer, compressor and any other small things (which I'm expecting to find out here)

Damn, what kind of business are you in that you can afford to hire a printing staff just to give away free t-shirts weekly? Or did I miss something?

Fellows please accept my request, could we please stay on the topic
Thanks

I think its hard to stay on topic when no one understands what it is your looking for. People here will help if you let them, but it seems like you bought the press and are looking for confirmation that it was the right choice? If you actually explain what help you are looking for, you'll get a lot less smart ass answers. At least 2 people here own SRoques and would be more than willing to answer questions but if your just going to avoid everything with open ended answers you won't get any help

Kwan-

 Here are some questions that can help the whole thing along....

-How many shirts will your average run be?

-How many color prints will your average shirt be?

-How many days do you plan on printing per week?

-How big of a electrical service do you have?

- Have you looked at dryers?

-What model S.Roque are you looking at? I know you said a P10-M. But a P10-M- Amigia? YOU? ECO? A P-10, is a 8 color, it may be overkill for someone starting out, especially if you still need to buy a dryer, screens, ink, ect.


What people are saying(and I thought the same thing) you may be able to get the shirts printed on a contract basis and save a TON of money!

Why don't you start off with those questions and we will all see what we can help you with.

Hey Kwan,

People here do want to help you. You came to the right place. However..... are you sure this is the route you want to take? If so you have so much more to invest in than just a press. Everything from tons of support equipment to software to training to electrical and the actual shipping and fork lift and install and then inks and the proper ink for your garment and then 1,000 more things. I hope after work hours you have a lot of free time to invest and if you have a family tell them you will be absent for about six months. Not trying to be negative but realistic. It can and does happen. Just make sure this is a route you want to take instead of contracting it out as others have said. And if you are nervous about money it will help to have friends that are electricians, plumbers, and other construction related resources. If not that is where some real money problems can develop. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

I am not sure why most of you folks here are so "negative"?.....Is it because you feel threatened?....While I realize most of you here think screen printing is akin to "rocket science", it is not......A motivated person with cash, intuition and desire can do exactly what Kwan is proposing to do and do it okay...For some businesses it make sense to bring stuff in house and I wish Kwan well....

[Nick Bane]

we all wish him well but he has given little or nothing to work with as far as questions or answers, so there is not a lot to work with.  if he really needed help, with all the posts he has in this thread alone, he couldve asked an actual question and gotten answers.  maybe he will do that and get some help soon.
