Canon Colorado is fixed and lots of rush orders
It's a big relief to have the Canon Colorado fixed. Clint from MKCnext ended up flying out to fix it because Canon was being a pain. We ran lots of tumblers and pens this week and also got the new embroidery machine fully up and running. I feel like most things lately have been a rush, I'm working on fixing that with our sales automations and management system.

UV printing on owala water bottles with the logojet UV printer
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Месяц назад
Today we discuss printing directly onto owala water bottles with the logojet UV flatbed printer. This was a bit of a pain because there is not really a zero zero, but we made it work. If we plan on printing more of these, I'll need to make a jig to hold more than one at a time. Owala bottle - amzn.to/3xtttwf

Chinese application table - game changer and better than a flatbed printer

With selling the Canon Arizona, I needed a better way to offer foam cut outs. One of my larger customers likes to use them for events that they do multiple times a year. I didn't want to pay $16,000 so I imported one. The cost for the table was $6,000. We've only had it set up for a few weeks and it's been totally worth it. Here is who I purchased mine from.

    Totally agree regarding shipping, you have to make sure its DDP. You may have to ask different manufacturers because most of them only do bulk or CIP shipping. They don't want to bother with small orders that won't fill the container. I ordered a relatively large passenger enclosed tricycle. I live in California though and am relatively close to the port. Price of my unit was around $1200 with DDP shipping around $2300 for a total of $3500 to my door. No need for a customs broker or freight forwarder, they handled everything, I just had to wait for it to be delivered. For me it was worth it as golf carts new are around $6k to $10k in my area.

    Hi, I bought same type and imported to Germany, Bavaria. I see, you haven't removed the bar above the roll. It is only for transport/assembly necessary, because it restricts the gap under the roll. Remove it for a better workflow, there are also 2 "hooks", which fit in this area. You can use it, when the air preasure is off. So the roll is not resting on the table and staying round.
