some pics of my shop and press.
« on: April 04, 2013, 09:56:29 PM »
some of you guys know we moved last June, so we are still under construction haha...my shop is a mess,  we went from 2k sq to just over 7k and I some how managed to fill that up already...these are some terrible phone pics...nothing fancy like Al's or Jamie's new place but it gets the job done...there is another 6k sq behind the huge wall of shirts we can open up if we want...don't laugh at some of my decorating...we just recieved a 10 color gauntlet II a few weeks back. I didn't take pics of the sign shop up stairs, show room, break room, kitchen, offices, just the screen shop...we have a lot of rooms.


press arriving from Tony / CGS in New Jersey


there she is.


G2, yes that's a golf cart. It's a table for squeegies/ flood bars...it works very well to roll around from head to head..


 the two rooms are actually my dark room. you can only enter through the wash out room. upstairs there is the sign shop and embroidery.


shot from upstairs embroidery room. the ugly yellow room in the corner is my ink room.


embroidery. lonely single head. plugging away.


ink room. that's my first car holding up that box.


ink room. one wall of water base, one of plastisol. you know what ink looks like, no more pics needed here.


my washout sink. it's 12' long. behind me is the door into the dark room with exposure, reg table, all that jazz. we have a shower and pisser in the washout room so there is no need to leave! the shower is full of unused screens haha


looking down the bay from the top of my dark room, this is where we do wraps, signs, whatever...


more pics to come when I have time...just wanted to share.
...keep doing what you're doing, you'll only get what you've got...

I like the wall 'o shirts.  That's serious space you guys have. Our shop is getting to feel like a japanese apartment.  Jealous.  G2, also jealous.  That thing looks sharp!  Refurb?

Nice shirt wall... But the golf buggy modified into a trolley. Genius...

I love it when people post up pics about their workshop.

Looking good, where do you keep all the digital printers?
Up front? Do you have the store front/office at that place?

I love visiting other print shops and seeing pics isn't as good but it's pretty close.  I like the shop Homer, you got two autos filling up that dryer now, that is just plain awesome.

My shop looks like a isotoner slipper box compared to that!  Your dryer looks small in that pic and I know how big the dryer is, I have a cart's width between mine and the wall in places and have to rotate the manual arms to get past it.  You have enough room to do donuts in your MR2.

A bunch of years ago we went from 1500 sq. ft. to 8K, what a difference. Shop looks great. You really need another dryer though if you are running both autos. Our Gauntlet S feeds a 48" belt and keeps it full, and our MHM feeds a 60" belt, also to capacity...

Actually, there is so much infeed there that I would put either an IR bump panel or see if somebody can add a burner section to it.  if you can speed the belt up, and keep up with 2 autos, it's cheaper than buying and installing another dryer...and you'll save the space too.

Sweet setup!  I am so jealous.  We could play basketball on break inside if we had 7k square feet...   ;D
