Thanks to Lee, we've addressed the issue mentioned at the six minute mark. If you order a manual press from us, you won't have to worry about this issue from now on. Thank you, Lee.

[@85ink79]

Hell of a press and set up! Active duty Army now, but before I joined, I have worked for many shops and your attention to detail is by far the best I've seen. Quality shop, quality product. Been binge watching your videos from the first one til now. You are a perfect example of what other shops should strive to be like, big or small. I look forward to future vids!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. The quality and details are what I live for 👊🏻

[@PaulieDafuq]

This is the reason I buy thirtyeightrideco gear! The level of attention to detail and quality is always amazing!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man, that's the way it'll always be 🤘🏻

[@beliedat2457]

Current screen printer here. Love your videos. It’s cool how everyone has their own way of doing certain things. But I gotta tell ya if you get bigger and start pumping out higher piece count you’re gonna want an auto for sure. Saves on the wrists and shoulders lol. Also precision wise you can’t beat an auto once you figure out the set ups. Same exact pressure every stroke of your squeegee. Basically just gets rid of that human error factor.

[@leestuart38]

Absolutely man, my body has had it printing as much as I do every day haha. We'll be going auto this year, in the search for a space right now

[@schpoe123]

Dude I feel your pain everything has to be spot on can't stand anything off at all. I nolonger screen print but print in a wide format printer... Just kills me when it is off... Excellent vid

Just got my side clamps in , I would def like a more in depth video of how you leveled them out. and also how you set your off contact with the side clamps. I only ask cause there is not many videos out there using the new Ryonet side clamps

What was your reason in not going M&R right off the bat? The Kruzer offers exactly what you are trying to achieve in consistency. I’ve been running M&R since 2011.

[@leestuart38]

Ryonet had more to offer my needs in terms of a total shop solution. They've been great to me and I'll be loyal for a long time

[@Jolsen002]

You are still our hero!!!

[@Tim.McElheny]

Have you ever thought about trying out Newman Roller Frames? I think it would lessen the variable of your shop starting cool and heating up affecting the aluminum frames. Plus, you can control the tension of your screens and make sure all your 230's are at the same Nm and all your 158's are at the same Nm.

[@leestuart38]

I'd love to but I just don't have the space to accommodate rollers just yet. There's no one remotely close that deals with them so in order to do it properly I'd need to go all in and have the stretching table for them and everything. Once I move to a new space I want to transition over

[@JanetDiaz6152]

Thank you Lee .. Yeaupppp, you are so right...

[@petercole2339]

Awesome video with a great explanation of the benefits of side clamps! I use an Anatol 6/6 and did use a brown 4/4.. both side clamps with micro registration. I think it is crucial to side clamp especially doing multiple colors in huge quantities.. however I would love a 4/4 front clamp for doing all our single color jobs and odd jobs.. probably a purchase this coming year!

[@leestuart38]

Both setups definitely have their benefits, I'm wishing I had just one front clamp for doing neck labels faster so I might add a single color press dedicated to that. But for multi color stuff you can't really beat the side clamps 🙌🏻

[@johnsenpendon3529]

Super nice equipment... 😍 Nice vid sir lee

[@leestuart38]

Thanks!

[@StoversMotors]

Hope those vagi-gauge strips were clean before checking those gap clearances 🤣 excellent upgrade, cant wait to see your more detailed prints with the new setup.

[@mad2max]

I have an old native side clamps press, and I am always surprised at how it holds registration.

[@leestuart38]

Of course since I put these on it's been nothing but a string of one color jobs 😂. But I'm sure they'll work great

Hey Lee, as always I really appreciate your informative (and comical) vids. I’ve wanted side clamps for my Hopkins press for some time now and of course, this vid shows up on my feed. How long is that bar that you grinded off the corners? Thanks for your time 🤙🏼 -Jay, Pressland Printing/Pressland General/Locomotive Clothing & Supply

Thanks man. I don't remember exactly, but I think they were around 23". It's been great having them on my press, so happy I got the upgrade

[@bpprintco.1765]

I have a press just like yours. What is the cost for the upgrade? I definitely want to upgrade my 300. Thanks.

[@leestuart38]

Full disclosure these were sent to me by Ryonet so I'm not sure, but I don't think it's crazy expensive to do

[@matiasvaccaro453]

do you have a uv oven there? i can't figured out

[@butteryprintwear4700]

I don't know man..I have registration problems with my same 8x6 machine too, but $9500 for side clamps on a machine I feel like SHOOULD have dead on balls accurate registration as is!?

[@leestuart38]

Like I said in the video, it's no fault of the press. It's the flex and movement that comes from the screens themselves, side clamps get rid of most of that. It's definitely not $9500 to upgrade to side clamps, and you can buy this press with them already on. Both options are available on most presses on the market since a lot of people like the forward clamp for whatever reason, I personally think all upper tier presses should be side clamps only.

[@danielmullins572]

Great video!, you should make a follow up a few months down the road and let us all know if it made a difference in your prints.

Not one shitty video yet…. ALWAYS actionable takeaways or nuggets of information. I’m not even considering screen printing as of yet, Hell… I haven’t even established my company yet, but still get something from EVERY video. I can’t wait for the Rogue Lab “Boot Camp” where you offer 2-4 week internships where people can get hands on AND learn from you and your existing team. Just a thought…. Bwahahaha I’m sure there are new business owners that would pay for an immersive experience like that. Ps. How long until you develop a “Wheelie-cam”? We know he’s the one in charge.

[@cliffarnold7463]

Plus… maybe just maybe you could schedule it around equipment deliveries do you don’t blow your back out because you’d have a labor force. 😜

Make sure to tell everyone you can about that so I can finally break the 100k subs mark after 6 years of this haha. I do plan on doing some hands on classes here one day, I've got a few things cooking up 🧠
