Best Place to buy Newmans?
« on: May 19, 2013, 10:56:10 AM »
Where is the best place to buy say 50-100 newmans and the stretching table.  Looking for brand new.  Don't have time to clean up old ones and I prefer to know what we are buying.  I hear people say M3s are the way to go?  That what I should do?

I'd think he would be in the best position to give you a good deal. 

Drop info@stretchdevices.com a line about your interest, I'd be surprised if he didn't say hi.

Our first purchase of newmans was 2 pallets full of mixed 23x31 frames.  Took awhile to clean up but they were in pretty good condition.

If you can find M3's in good to very good condition that would work but otherwise buying new with table is the way to go imo, we did also get 12-16 with our stretcher table.

I like the M3s over the MZXs too, less ink flying out, don't tend to lose the flatness, and obviously can hold much higher tension.  It's nicer having all of the same frames on the auto too.

M3 is best by far.  If you buy from Nazdar, they once gave me the table for free for signing a 1 year exclusive contract with them.  We also agreed to buying a bunch, don't remember the number, but it lowered the price for buying bulk, and they would send out 6 a month for a year and only charge me as they shipped them.  Also, some distributors will assemble them for you.  Make them commit to that, its a bitch to put all those together and the newer hardware they use today will strip easily if you are not familiar with them.  The old ones didn't do that.  That's my opinion on them.

We used all newmans, assorted sizes, some new, some used. Only problem is if you need a bunch, wait time for shipping. We had to go with statics for a need a hundred now order.
