Those are some sexy machines! Wow! I don't think I want to know what a decent pad printer runs!

For my own work, I found some online places that seem to have reasonable minimums as far as sticker orders go, so I may give them a shot if I can come up with a decent design. Meanwhile, I found out that you can do window cling-like printing with an inkjet, but it is absolutely miserable in quality and appearance. Blegh.

I think I'm going to have to sneak into the print shop at the university someday to see this for myself. They do a lot of screen work over there, I've been told, and I occassionally see old equipment being tossed. I have no intentions of trying to bring any of it back to life, but I couldn't believe they decided to junk a vacuum form machine rather than repair it!
