People are always fascinated by this contraption. Are you another snoopy printer like me? No problem, call up Mark Brown and we’ll trade secrets. That’s me, I built this thing. This device saves us labor. How much? Is it worth it? Well the robotic arm on the home page is the original prototype and this unit is what I advertised for $12,000. With all the expensive parts and the labor to build, package and ship this unit, 12 grand was the cheapest we could sell it for and we could see that we would make more printing Tee Shirts. No, it’s not worth it to all those shop owners that saw our advertisements. We took this machine to an industry trade show and we put an ad in a trade magazine for a few months. We had a few inquiries but nothing ever came of it. We put over $7,000 into the patent pending partial protection before we opted out of completing the patent. All told, we spent over $22,000 building and marketing a commercially high quality piece of equipment. We could see the writing on the wall; we were heading toward a completely new business with all the marketing and production that goes with a growing operation. Currently we strictly concentrate on printing the finest high end designs possible whenever a customer wants it. That’s plenty of satisfaction for now.
Below is an animation showing the concept.
