Dude a sabre! I think you're going to really like that press. I've been really impressed with it. I'll be heading to Lafayette to check it out once you're set up

No sense in waiting too long!

almost done!

Sweet!!! Is that where the dryer is going? Looking clean!

[GaryG]

It's going right through the wall into the delivery truck so
they can be delivered faster! lol

Looking nice!!

Tight space, but real nice looking press. I'm jealous. I should have my new to me press all set by the end of the month. Give us feedback on how you like the Sabre.

Does the dryer run through the wall? Or are you moving it later?

[TCT]

Sweet dude, your place cleaned up nice!

Since no one has asked, what's going to happen with the dryer? 

[Binkspot]

Nice.

Never seen a Radicure with a 4" out feed, was that custom?

exactly! lol

I guess the picture is an optical illusion.

there is actually 43 or so inches back there behind the tunnel, the arms aren't on yet.

so far we are digging it.

Nice. When you see shirts climbing the back wall you know it's time to go empty the bin and put a new one under there.

Just ran our first "real" job on the press.

250 pcs (really did 264 as he forgot he ordered extras), two color plus under base, one sided... 1 hour 20 mins.

Running about 20 dz/hour with a flash back and one operator, I was just there to look pretty.

I was actually under the press tweaking the lift cylinder's rate and coushin to smooth it out to our satisfaction and playing around looking for interesting gopro shots for a future video (aka: slowing him down ).

Print stayed pretty good and we wiped down 1.5 times, he didn't need to but did it anyway... Tuned in for tips on that in another thread.  Also that could have been due to he forgot to lock down the micros at first.

Radicure kept up like a champ at the upper end of 10 feet per min.  Need to do more testing on that as we JUST got it 100% (technically 95%) right before the job.

We are happy.

Nice! Good to hear man! Did you end up getting 1 or 2 flashbacks?

[Gilligan]

Just the one now, but we could have ran this job with two colors and a flash back pfp each color.

Would have gone slower and was worth the extra under base screen. Though no butt registered colors so that would have saved setup time, lock and load!

Congrats Gilly, I know it's been a long time coming so savor the moment! It's a game changer when you start looking at 300-400pc orders as an hours easy work.

Looking at the pic, is the radicure in backwards?

[GraphicDisorder]

I bet your happy now, well at least your printers are anyway.

Funny you say that.  I got a call a couple days ago for 300 cheap black shirts with just white on one side as I quoted them, I thought... Man, that is cheap, but I wasn't saddened as I knew that would be about a two hour job and easy money.
