It's Here! My New Automatic Screen Printing Press

I guess a lot of people thought I was short, now you know that I'm actually tall in real life 😂

Guilty 🥺😂 I knew you were at lest 5’10 I just didn’t think you were 6’2” 💀

For real I was thinking 5’’9”

[@aamerbangladesh1826]

Thanks a lot, bro ❤️

[@PrintKingdom904]

Not gonna lie I thought you were a shorty ahaha. Love seeing the progression of the shop. One day could you do a video on finances? Like did you initially build out your shop on credit or just use savings? And what about now?

[@dtruth5988]

Congrats on all your success. I have followed your channel from the beginning of your screen printing journey and respect and admire all that you have accomplished. Wishing you continued success and blessings. Keep inspiring, and keep it high level!!!

[@leestuart38]

Really cool to hear that, thanks a lot 👊🏻

[@trdsport]

I love the fact that we both run our business basically by ourselves... awesomeness. In charge of alot ppl don't realize

[@leestuart38]

It takes a lot of time and even more work to make it happen, but that's what I love about it 🤘🏻

[@LazzaraFPV]

Fuck yeah man! Love seeing all of this. Makes me wish I'd filmed my progress over the last two years! Seeing that press being delivered was a reminder of how fucking much of a bum twitching moment that is so fair play to you for filming it all, even if it was all shot in the wrong fps, which nobody noticed btw haha. Keep it fucking going man, love the journey!

[@leestuart38]

I was so bummed to mess up the footage of such a huge moment for me, but shit happens haha. I'm happy I'll get to look back on it either way

[@matthess969]

Hey man just wanted to say I'm so happy for you. You truly are an inspiration to small scale printers like myself. Keep up the awesome work and much love for all the videos you put out. Even when you're crazy busy with everything.

Can i be proud (for just one time) that i'm from Portugal? As for your videos and your channel. I do some screen printed gauge faces. It's a very detailed and complex job. I don't want to print clothes but I watch all your videos because the determinant and confident way you speak makes me believe in my business every day. I wish i could have a business partner so in love with the business like you.

Ronald is the homie man! I do livestream screenprinting & ryonet has supported me in amazing ways. Much love homie, can't wait to start my youtube up!

[@doggonenomads]

I have the same size shop and because I am by myself most of the time I made sure that everything I put in that shop has wheels. Believe me it will be easier to clean and rearrange once you do that. Good luck and thanks for the content!

[@leestuart38]

Definitely planning to add wheels to a few things yet other than the big equipment that needs to stay put. Thanks man

Keep up the good work man glad you are growing and hyped to be apart of your journey as a spectator🙏🏼

[@leestuart38]

Glad to hear this stuff helps. Thanks a lot dude 👊🏻

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Congrats bro! Getting older and being sore sucks. IMO, the biggest advantage of having an auto, aside from the obvious, is in life quality. Jobs will get done faster, and your body will thank you. After set, the only labor involved is loading, and unloading shirts. Sure there's all these other cool factors... consistency, running shirts at 250-500 an hour, etc. But getting the job done and having more time to do what you want is priceless. New to owning an auto advice: Biggest learning curve will be getting used to walking around the press to load inks / squeegees. Not that big of a deal for the payoff. Keep an eye on the ink consistently, and don't over do it on ink. Overprint colors will go longer, but white goes fast. Run a couple test prints until you get pinholes situated. It's really easy to run out of ink, or a pinhole show up and you wont notice it until you've printed a carousel worth of shirts. So first handful of shirts, keep an eye on what's going on with first dozen shirts before you really start ROQ'in. Warm up your pallets before a job, and you're golden. Looking forward to what you do with it.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot dude, that's all super valuable advice. It's going to be a massive learning curve that's for sure but I'm excited to see how it all goes

[@joseamador6966]

With all due respect, Mr. Lee, I'm very happy about your screen printing shop and I gladly you are progressing But let me tell you about ROQ automatic press is not for screen printing sorry but that’s my opinion I’m being screen printer industry for 20 years Being running all kind presses but the best authentic press for fast production and better quality is M&R.

[@leestuart38]

Lol ok 😂

[@Filiku]

[@leestuart38]

Thanks dude!

[@statusdesignshop4550]

Lee, I'm 60 years old and I must say I like your videos. You've taught me some nice tips and inspired me to keep at it. I had to give up my commercial shop due to all this Covid crap and move everything back home. I'm back to a one man band. Do you really do everything by yourself or do you have some employees? I really wish you all the best, keep having fun and it will never feel like work!

[@leestuart38]

Sorry to hear that man, but I'm happy to hear my stuff helps. I'm mostly a one man show here. I have Dan doing the design work for our clients but otherwise it's all me. I hope to bring on a few more people once the new shop is running

[@TylerCary]

Be sure to have them send over a registration unit, it was one of the best purchases we made before getting our second roq. Next on the list is wax to screen but the PRU is still amazing if used correctly

[@leestuart38]

I'll just say there's still more crates to open 😎

I’m super excited to see how you run with the auto! There aren’t many videos showing how they really work and how to get good quality prints from them.

[@leestuart38]

That's what I'm excited for, there isn't really any decent content out there with an auto and how to run one. I'll definitely be covering a lot of it as I figure it out

[@SarahWiseGarcia]

@@leestuart38 I was hoping so! I’m scared to even look at buying an auto since they expect you to be an expert before ever using one!

[@Bruv234]

@@SarahWiseGarcia the roq system is pretty simple to use. The tech usually provides some training after purchase. Roq has some pretty good video tutorials available also. The one thing that I did not care for, and I can’t remember if it was on the Eco or You system, was the digital registration set up. I much preferred the analog registration with the cross hairs vs the digital read out.

At the 0:09 mark, what jacket is that? Not the logo (UNLESS....), but the brand of jacket? I need one of those. Looks extremely durable and efficient.

Ryonet’s customer service is the reason we buy from them. They’re the only ones who came up to us when we bought our first screen press. All the other companies didn’t even greet us when we were looking at the equipment during the Long Beach convention.

[@leestuart38]

For real, they have customer service on a whole different level. That's what drew me in when I was starting up and was still a paying customer haha. The rest of the industry should be taking notes

[@TheGorillaBiker]

That offer for a switcheroo from Roq is properly good service. Well done them.
