Newbie here from Andrews South Carolina
« on: January 27, 2016, 02:12:20 PM »
Hello every one my name is Eddie and I have had my 4-1 Riley Hopkins press for about 6 months now and have only done single color stuff so far! I enjoy this business but I have learned real quick with out proper equipment this can be a tough business! Thanks for letting me join and I look forward to learning and getting better with every print!

Howdy Eddie. I used to make a living with an original Hopkins four color with only one station. It got a little hot when flashing was required, but it was a great old press! Welcome.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Yea I thought I had done all the research I needed when I bought my package but I let a Ryonet salesman talk me out of 4/2 with the little buddy dryer into getting a 4/1 with the riley cure jr. Big mistake

Hey,

Print 1, 2 and more colors on it with patience, gather profits and go for more equipment.
Sell, sell sell and it won't tale long.

Like everyone else has said, this is the best community.  I've learned way more here than anywhere else.  Mostly by just searching when I ran into issues.  Welcome!
