Had to tow the trailer with something Justin :lol:Originally Posted by JNMann
This was a classic car show on our doorstep and, it was our first and last show. Our last because we haven't had a great deal of time.
We're pretty well equipped but when we did a 'dry run' outside the house, we discovered the generator wasn't up to powering all the equipment! We had the following with us:
Embroidery machine
Computer and laptop
BIG heatpress and compressor
Graphtec cutter
Mug machine
and a few other bits an pieces!
The generator we had was 2.5Kva and it struggled
so we purchased a BIG 6.5Kva 13HP one. It didn't miss a beat
The reason I took the Atom was a plan I had to sell mugs by taking pics of kids and dads and sometimes mums, sitting in the car and sticking them on the mugs.
The day went very well for us and we picked up orders afterwards too BUT, as I said, we learned a lot.
1 Arrive in plenty of time to set up.
2. Rehearse
3. Make sure the products you produce happen as fast as possible - fast printer (the Ricoh GX7000 does this). Personally, I think ink jets are just to slow.
4. Lots more I'll elaborate on when I have more time :)
We've purchased a 5m x 5m gazebo now.

We learned a lot from the day and plan doing more.
