That's a pretty nice mobile setup, but looking at it a 12 color looks like the arms break down and fold up or down some how, just would not be enough room.  I would love to see that crew in action at setup time looks very neat and I know some coin went into that mobile unit.

Not sure if New Buffalo bought the one from M&R or what, but M&R used to have that full set up you could rent I believe. I think Starter or Adidas took it to Texas when The Texans had their first game. (Maybe?)

So I'm assuming that by all the responses so far no one on here actually does this? I tried researching on a few other forums and resources as well and no one seems to really be doing it. Is there a reason why?

I'm trying to figure out what would be attractive about this personally. The only thing that I am coming up with is that you wouldn't have rent necessarily, so long is it's cool to park it where you live when you aren't out and about.

I'm not sure what you mean...?? I was actually thinking as a side thing to my print shop (which I don't have yet, but some day hopefully soon), or for right now as a side gigg to make some extra cash to get my business going. As far as a place to park it I would just park it at my house, not sure the wife would like it but whats one more trailer!  8)

There seems to be some sort of market out there for it why not go out and get that money!

Definitely a market for it, we've been outright asked several times, and I bet presenting it to the right folks would be
a done deal.

That said, consider the actual operation. IE people trying to look over your shoulder, asking a million questions,
slow days, hot days, yada yada.

Not my cup of tea or business model but if it fits you get to it, seems easy enough to do.

I can see you doing a manual press and  small dryer in a 8 x 10 trailer or bigger...I can see this working at car shows and outdoor sports...summer time venture for sure.

I know a guy that has 4-5 Brown Pony Presses that he takes to events. They are a 4 color 4 station and it sits on top of the dry which is on wheels.

I've seen that "low rider" dryer setup in the back of a truck once.  That dryer seems like a terrible idea EXCEPT maybe in that case.
