Adam is very kind but I would simply change printing company

There's nothing "simple" about it! Printing high resolution images on
painted metal requires fine mesh screens, precise registration, the
correct ink, and lots of experience. You can't just go to any old T-
Shirt maker. We worked with this printer over several print runs
before we were satisfied with the quality.
Most companies would not even fool with us at our run rates (100 to
150 panels total per order, 1 to 25 panels per design - each design
requires tearing down and reregistering a new screen).
We won't be doing stooge panels forever. We are running out of decent
volume designs to do, and one off custom stuff won't be worth it in
the future if that's all we are doing. When Larry and I get our
behemoth systems finished we'll have all the custom panels we need,
which was why I started this whole thing in the first place. When
that day comes, we'll probably make another panel run or two to flush
out everybody's anticipated needs, then retire to the Caribbean on
our vast profits<g>.
If you find stooge panels useful, it's good that you are an MOTM
customer now. People coming to our world a few years from now may not
be able to buy them. Think of how the value of your stoogified
modules will skyrocket!
Anyway, it doesn't make sense to try to train a new printer. I
believe my current printer when he says he's not making any money on
us, after he figures out the time he puts in. He was giving us a
break to begin with because his son is an MOTMer. So, we'll pay him
more next time.
