Understand completely, and sorry for your loss. My boss just lost his brother to cancer Monday.

When, in time, things come together and you are once again accepting orders just let us know.


Thanks again,

Earl

I understand completely, Gordie. My father died on Monday. 85 years old and died in his sleep.

Take your time, just know you are loved in the rocketry community.

I understand your loss, and how it takes it out of you. I have not had the will to keep going at times, with the year I have had as well, but friends and family, as well as faith has gotten me through. Lost my wife, who was my rocket support group, of 33 years suddenly, In May of 2015. It is a slow process to get through, as you do not get "over" it.

Thanks guys but I have more bad news.

The printer I just received less than a month ago from Japan has just failed.

The failure (printer head) is not covered by the repair facility.

This is the second printer I have sent to Japan that failed within a month so...

Sorry guys, I'm done!

I have a few decals that are already printed but basically I can no long print or afford to send any more printers to Japan for repair.

Again...Sandman decals is finished.

Sorry to hear that, Sandman.
Sometimes one of the toughest business decisions to make is the one to get out of a particular business.
At least it was a good run, right ?

My last Alps is barely hanging on. The only other printers out there cost 10,000 to 20,000 and I doubt you would make you money back selling decals.

I'm sorry to hear the news.

Would a color laser printer work?

Best regards,
Brian

Are you still turning nose cones? I'm inspired by the BT-60 Gemini capsule and space plane posted recently in another thread.
