Rev 2.12 - Matthew "Argy" Argyris of Europlacer Loves Talking Screenprinting



...and as you'll see, so do we! Welcome to the 4th uh that is FIRST try at getting Matt Argyris, famous inventor of the "Closed Loop Pressure Feedback System for Squeegee Pressure Microadjustment" (we are testing something, watch to find out), onto the podcast.



For what it is worth, that is almost entirely Elias' fault. (Trust me on this one.)
