Default What do you think about this equipment?

I can get this equipment for around $2200. Let me know what you think. The press is a m&r Blue Max II. Not sure what brand the dryer. Has a washout booth, inks, screens, a hat press. Can I still get parts for the press?

Default Re: What do you think about this equipment?

If you are looking to get serious with printing I would look in other directions. this is just me but I don't know anything about the Blue max printer.

Depending on the dryer it may be a great buy if the dryer is a good one.

I would check into it a little deeper. Post the models and serial numbers of the equipment and more on here will be able to better help you.

Good Luck from Dad

The blue max is an older M&R manual machine.

I am hoping to go look at the equipment this weekend and get a better idea on what kind of shape it is in.

Looking at the pictures it looks good to be used, if it looks good to you get it, that a great price if it works well and the dryer works and you do not have to my part right away.
