Sample of production output for 1 week NOT using the Newman Pin-Lock Registration System. Prior to Pin-Registration: 10-12 changes (per machine, per week, 1 shift) 9,000 shirts/machine each week.

The Newman Pin-Lock Registration System was installed on ALL 12 (older style) machines in approximately 7 days without ANY production interruption. At the same time, New Buffalo Shirt Factory had just started printing for the Rolling Stone Concert Tour.

After using the Newman Pin-Lock Registration System for 2 weeks (on all 12 machines), the following productions numbers were achieved. 10 - 14 Colors.

20 to 25 Minute setup times. (previously approx. 1 hour setup time)
13 more jobs per shift per machine.
14 changes per machine, per week, 1 shift.
13,000 average shirts per machine, per week.
$3,000 extra profit per machine weekly.
$20,000 to $25,000 profit per week.

The customer invested $145,000 in the Newman Pin-Lock Registration System for all 12 (older style) machines. (Cost would be less for newer presses).
Return on Investment (ROI) The entire system was paid for in 6-7 weeks.

Job Examples (after only 4 weeks using the system)

13 - 14 Color job averaged 10 to 15 minutes with only 2-3 colors needing "slight" micro-registration (just a hair top to bottom or right to left). No "Z" axis (or twists) micro-registration adjustments.

5 Colors: 2-3 minute setup - 720 piece run - 1:44 from burning of screens to boxing of shirts. New Buffalo Shirt Factory received this last minute order at 4:30 PM on Friday afternoon for a Saturday morning delivery to their customer. The entire job was complete and picked up by Fed-Ex at 5:45 PM. The employees were able to go home by 6:30 instead of 8:00 PM.
