Just wanted to say hay from Trussville Al. We are are small but mighty garage shop beating up on a Riley Hopkins 6/4 and sweating next to a Workhorse 2608. Thanks to my loveley wife who is a great artist and lots of local support we have had three years of learning and growing. Thanks in advance for the info and hope to help out if I can. Just a minute on my soap box. To all the get rich fast anyone can do this folks out there, find something else to do. This is a trade that requires skill and people that can adjust or 360 at a moments notice. It is also hard and sometimes unforgiving work. Remember that, hard work. At the end of the day, week or month after you have paid your dues, this trade will reward you. Now off my soap box. Glad to be here folks and I hope this in the right forum. If not I'm sure I will never hear the end of it. Best of Luck Brett.
Welcome Brett
L@@Ks like you lurked for a while.
and you are right as most have no idea just how demanding our job is.
Sounds to me your just fine on a soap box, you are in your refinement period, which never ends.

Also sounds like you are doing good...which is good the way things are right now. I do feel that for our business things are better than a year or two ago and think that by summer we will see an even bigger change.
But to all you newbies and beyond. Be it new or used...have the best equipment you can afford at you press, dryer, flash, pos printer and exposure unit with a single point light source being at the end of the tunnel and a pressure washer that gives you back working screens.
So again Brett and all the new sign ups Welcome.
And tomorrow raise or lower your press so that the pallets are at your hip bone...you can thank me later.

And in the end it is still just a damn t-shirt.
