ISS Ft. Worth 2010 Rundown

Had a chance to head over to the ISS show in Ft. Worth this morning.  I definitely was interested in seeing the new Challenger III and watching Omar from New Buffalo Shirt Factory try and set the world record for shirt printed in one hour by one operator.  M&R and one of my suppliers, Graphic Solutions Group pulled out all the stops.  M&R had their Alpha 8, a prototype Challenger III, and the new Sportsman EX, and GSG had their own stock Challenger III, the M&R Diamondback, and the guys over at Pony Printing were doing a demo on Matsui Waterbased Inks.  The highlight of the show was obviously the World-Record Run, but lots of other great manufacturers were there as well...Anatol had their jumbo machine, which is an awesome machine for oversized prints, and lots of other guys had their new stuff out to show off.  I came away suer impressed with the prototype Challenger III...the digital controls on each print head looked awesome and for such a big machine it ran unbelievably smooth.  I'm gonna have to start saving my pennies so I can upgrade to the Challenger III...

Here's a quick vid of the World Record Run, you can see M&R's CEO, Rich Hoffman, hard at work with that can of spray tack.  Congrats to M&R and to Omar....Great job guys!
