@GammaSouljah : Naturally, the fastFrame gives the best trough-put on larger runs of the same size, so you wouldn't buy a fastFrame unless you have the type of production where you can sort the canvases into batches of a single size. But then, this is the type of production that is common in companies offering digital canvas prints to consumers and have a large enough work load to look for such a machine.

Sounds like you must me a Canvas Stretch Master owner with buyer's remorse or a re-seller of the Stretch Master. Why would I want a Canvas Stretch Master if it:

1. has more labor involved

2. takes longer to produce a finished product.

I have seen the Stretch Master. The fastFrame wins "hands down" in productivity. I guess there are some that would rather buy the "horse and buggy" over that new flash in the pan called the automobile.

Sorry but this machine actually seams like a joke when you compare it to say the canvas stretch master dot net in a production setting. the fact that you have to change plates for the different size canvases will slow up any line that is making lots of different sized canvases. which i'm sure 90% of companies would be doing.
