NEW MELCO EMT16

Melco has advanced the potential of machine embroidery with its latest release of the Melco EMT16 modular system. The new machine gives a 20% increase in production, it’s easier to learn, use and maintain.

Whilst the new machine retains some physical characteristics and proven features of its previous XTS model, it steps things up in three major respects: speed, usability and versatility.

The most notable feature is the new hook and trimmer technology that enables the Melco EMT16 to improve production by at least 20% over the previous ground-breaking Amaya XTS.

Melco’s software engineers have created a new operating system called Melco OS (MOS) with a very user-friendly

I picked the Melco embroidery machine from Amaya mainly due to the modular system it works on. It meant that I could start small with one machine and buy more machines as my business grows. The extensive 16 needles on the machine has increased the speed of my production and allowed me to offer larger designs, immensely benefiting the business. I’m very happy with my choice and have since purchased a Texjet Direct to Garment printer as well.”

- Darran Chopping, Chogou

I decided to buy the Texjet Plus printer from Amaya, having seen it perform at the Sign & Digital show last year. The print quality was far higher than the competitive models I looked at. Their after sales support is spot on, with everything solved quickly and efficiently. The investment has, without a shadow of a doubt, benefited my business immensely.”

Already in Embroidery?You may have noticed, The Melco EMT16 system is quite different from almost all other embroidery machine options available today

The Melco EMT16 system is a modular embroidery system. Let us show you how this can drastically improve your embroidery production.

WHY CHANGE?Before the launch of the previous Melco (branded Amaya) modular system in 2002, Melco used to manufacture a range of conventional multi-head machines from single to 12 heads. Their product development team started a project to analyse the efficiency of their current range of machines and their competitors. Their findings showed a significant amount of downtime on multi-heads throughout the course of a working day. They calculated that on fixed multi-head machines the average downtime during a day was around 48%! Their findings resulted in the creation of the Melco Amaya Modular Embroidery System, and the 48% of time was saved in the following ways: MACHINE SET-UP TIME On a 12 head machine for example, if you were to set it up for a new logo, chances are you may need to swap up to four different shades of thread. This is 48 cones of thread that need to be replaced. 12 garments then

need to be hooped and the design loaded and set-up before production can commence. You can argue that this is the same for all machines, but on a Melco modular system, you can set up one head and get it into production before setting up the next head, you don’t have to wait until twelve heads are threaded before starting.

THREAD BREAKS AND BOBBIN BREAKS On a well set-up machine, with fresh needles and a well digitised design, thread breaks should not be common place. But we all know from time to time they do occur. Bobbins also run out and every time one of these situations occur the machine will stop. On a multi-head machine a thread or bobbin break stops all heads, and if only one head has the issue almost 92% of your production stops for no reason! On a modular system this isn’t the case, only the head with the problem stops, therefore 92% of your production continues, significantly improving your output every single day. HOOP CHANGES On a conventional 12 head machine, when the design is complete the machine stops and the operator begins the process of swapping all the hoops. Imagine how this

would work on a modular system. If the machines do not start at the same time, they will not stop at the same time. Therefore if the operator has been trained correctly you should very rarely have a situation where production actually stops at all! DESIGN CHANGES & ORDER QUANTITIES As you will be fully aware order quantities vary greatly, from small runs to large orders. But it is very rare for the quantities to divide exactly with the number of heads you have on your machine. This will almost always result in heads being switched off when finishing the last few garments. These heads become totally redundant and quite often can be up to 50% of your machine. On a modular machine this is simply not the case. When finishing the remaining few garments, heads that are no longer needed can easily be set up for the next order as all heads can, if need be, be controlled and used individually. Imagine how that will affect the set-up time! No more heads switched off!

PERSONALISATION AND ORDER FLEXIBILITY Adding names to garments has always been popular, but

never more so than now it seems. On a multihead, this is impossible without switching off all but one head, as a multihead can only run one design at a time. With a modular system all heads can run individual designs, giving you total flexibility.

There are many other advantages to the Melco system, but all we ask is for you to scrutinise your current embroidery set-up. Have a look at how often your machines are sat idle and the reason why.

The Amaya system means you can get greater production from far fewer heads. This is fact, and has been proven on many occasions, by many of our customers. It will improve your business and we would love to show you how. JOIN THE AMAYA REVOLUTION!

One big investment, thousands of bespoke orders...Glenmuir, the renowned Scottish golf clothing brand, has started a huge investment programme with the purchase of 16 Melco single-head embroidery machines from Amaya Sales UK, to improve the speed and efficiency of their bespoke embroidery service.

To answer this question it is best to look at your current printer, and ask yourself the following questions:

HOW RELIABLE IS MY DTG PRINTER? How often do you need to carry out maintenance that goes beyond the daily maintenance routine? And how much downtime and cost does this cause?

The Texjet Plus Advanced is arguably the most reliable and easy to maintain printer currently available. Simple daily maintenance enables you to leave the printer fully switched off, with inks still inside for up to 30 days!

CURING TIMES AND WASH ABILITY Does your finished print spend as much time on the press as it does while printing, or even longer? And how about wash ability? How confident are you that the product you send out the door is going to please your customer long term or just until the first wash? After all, DTG prints are not just for promotional products, customers want them to last!

Using the new ‘Power Inks’ exclusive to Texjet Plus customers, you enjoy curing times as low as 30 seconds on

white/pale fabrics and as low as 1 minute on dark/coloured fabrics with unparalleled wash ability. It is difficult to see a difference between a washed garment and one that has just been printed!

PRINT QUALITY How does the quality of your prints stack up against your competitors? Are your customer’s ideas limited by the quality or feel of what you can currently supply? Is your printer printing at a lower quality just to improve speed?

The print quality achievable on the Texjet Plus Advanced is second to none, we would love you to challenge us on this as we are so confident that the print clarity is so impressive. Coupled with a very soft feel that is often not achieved with other printers and inks. Go on… give us a try!

PRINT SIZE How large can you go? Do you find yourself limiting print sizes to your customer because of the limitations of your printer?

The Texjet Plus Advanced has an extremely large print area for a single bed printer of up to 42cm x 60cm! It also comes with various quick change platens to enable you to print on children’s sizes, hoodies, sleeves, polo shirts, not to mention T-shirts and sweats.

HOW EXPENSIVE ARE YOUR INKS AND HOW ECONOMICAL IS YOUR CURRENT PRINTER? Have a look at the cost per litre that you have to spend with your supplier and consider how much extra you are paying throughout the year that could be significantly effecting your bottom line. And how economical is your printer? Do you know how much a clean or cleaning cycle costs you in wasted ink? Does your supplier even know?

The Texjet Plus Advanced uses a combination of DuPont Artistry textile inks along with their ground breaking ‘Power Ink’ to give you a very competitive print cost. Coupled with a pressurised system that allows you to refill the cartridges, the Texjet Plus Advanced is quite simply a very economical unit. When the Texjet Plus requires a clean, the amount of ink wasted is significantly less than most other printers and as a supplier we have accurate waste ink costs for you to work with.

HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE IS YOUR CURRENT SUPPLIER? Do you find yourself going to the forums for advice? After spending in excess of £10,000, should this help not be coming from your supplier?

At Amaya we pride ourselves on being the go to source for all our customers, there is no need to go anywhere else, we have a very knowledgeable team with many years’ experience, and you have the peace of mind you are dealing with a supplier that has been in DTG pretty much from the beginning.

When taking into account the cost of the printer, the ink costs, the superior quality of print and the reliability we firmly believe that the Texjet Plus Advanced is the most viable option available today. Whilst understanding this is a big claim we are more than happy to show you exactly what we mean. Give us a call, drop us an email with a design to test or arrange to come and see the printer at one of our showrooms around the country. We promise, you won’t regret it!

HIGH PERFORMANCE


Start with a single-head, and add more heads as your business grows!

Today’s embroidery production demands are diverse. The Melco EMT16 multi-tasking abilities and network functionality enables businesses to take full advantage of consumer demand.

Melco EMT16 is extremely versatile, it’s mulit-head

configurations can adapt to all

production demands.

MORE ON THE EMT16

Melco EMT16 is a multi-tasking machine that out performs every other multi-head on the market

This chart shows the comparison between an MELCO EMT16 6 head system versus a traditional 6 head machine. The results show a much higher output in weekly units produced with an EMT16 head system, versus the competition, when stitching a varity of different stitch counts per design.

Head for head, there is no comparison. These machines produce work orders not possible on conventional systems. Plus the independent machines are not affected by single thread breaks like conventional ones, which shut down production of all heads. In addition to the ability to handle large production jobs, the heads can operate independently to fulfill small personalisation orders and samples.

Individual Melco EMT16

units are connected by ethernet cable, not by a conventional rigid framework.

The Melco EMT16 multi-head systems stitch independently, so each head can also be configured to handle any job you throw at it. Monogramming, name dropping, samples, or even preventative maintenance per head won’t stop the entire production, unlike using a conventional system. Plus, it’s all neatly networked by one computer.

4 Melco EMT16 machines replaced two of our 8 head multiheads and did the same production on small runs. On a bulk order the 4 Melco EMT16 heads we had purchased embroidered 16.9 garments per hour compared to 15.3 garments on one of our fixed 8 head machines. That’s greater production in half the heads!”

More and more large multihead customers have proved that the Melco EMT16 modular machines not only drastically increased their production on smaller orders but can double production on bulk orders.

When I was looking to break in to the embroidery business I needed a fully industrial machine but at a lower start up price. I didn’t want to buy a semi-industrial one and then have to upgrade after a few months. I decided to go for the Amaya Bravo which copes with all types of orders and the stitch quality is second to none. It also has fully automatic thread tensioning that gives me consistant high quality embroidery and very few thread breaks. Buying from Amaya Sales UK was a pleasure and their ongoing support has been invaluable.

New Business Start-UpWith a modest capital investment and just a few hours of training, you can be generating substantial revenues for your new garment decoration business

Melco embroidery equipment requires minimal operating cost, keeping your overhead and labour costs low. Plus, with our flexible finance/leasing options, a brand new Melco EMT16 embroidery system or a Texjet Plus Advanced direct to garment printer with software, training and warranty plan can be yours for one low monthly payment. Let's look at a real-world example of ROI with an Melco EMT16 single-head embroidery system: Purchase 24 caps at a wholesale cost of around a £1 each for a total cost of £24.

With Melco EMT16, you can embroider those caps in as little as two hours and sell them for at least £9.95 each. £9.95 x 24 equals £238.80. That's enough revenue to easily cover a typical monthly payment for a brand new EMT16. You can also generate the same margins on polo shirts, hoodies or whatever you care to embroider.

If you prefer to invest in direct to garment printing our Polyprint, Texjet Plus advanced will give you the best chance of gaining a fast return on your investment. You can buy a T-shirt at trade price for around £1.40 and sell with DTG from £9.95 on a white shirt. Ink costs for an A3 size design would be about £0.25 so your costs would be £1.65. On a dark shirt ink costs

would be around £1.50 but you could sell from £14.95. So on an order of 24 you could make £199.20 and on dark shirts you could make around £289.20. Many other products can also be printed, like hoodies, bags, canvas shoes, polo’s etc.

SHOWS, EVENTS & SEMINARS

Amaya Sales UK attends several trade shows, business seminars and expos throughout the year. We also hold our own showcases so entrepreneurs and customers can get free equipment and software demos, and stay up to date on the industry and the latest technology.

HOW TO START A SMALL BUSINESS

Starting and managing a business takes motivation, desire, and talent. It also takes research and planning. Like a chess game, success in small business starts with decisive and correct opening moves. And although initial mistakes are not fatal, it takes skill, discipline, and hard work to regain the advantage.

To increase your chance for success, take the time up front to explore and evaluate your business and personal goals. Then use this information to build a comprehensive and well

thought out business plan that will help you reach these goals.

The process of developing a business plan will help you think through some important issues that you may not have considered yet. Your plan will become a valuable tool as you set out to raise money for your business. It should also provide milestones to gauge your success.

Before starting out, list your reasons for wanting to go into business. Some of the most common reasons for starting a business are: You want to be your own boss You want financial independence You want creative freedom You want to maximize the potential of your skills and knowledge

Next you need to determine what business is “right for you.”Ask yourself these questions: What do I like to do with my time? What technical skills have I learned or developed? What do others say I am good at? How much time do I have to run a successful business? Do I have any hobbies or interests that are marketable?

Next identify the niche your business will fill.Conduct the necessary research to answer these questions:

Is my idea practical and will it fill a need? What is my competition? What is my business advantage over existing firms? Can I deliver a better quality service? Can I create a demand for my business?

use tape, clips or messy spray adhesive. The magnetic flaps hold the backing material in place over the lower ring while you

frame the garment

HoopmasterFraming made easy!


The horizontal and vertical lines on the Freestyle Arm position your logos consistently without manually measuring and marking each item. The Freestyle Arm is used on a

portable base and is custom made for your frames. This provides you with the most accurate and smallest framing surface possible, making framing in small areas easy.

The Mighty Hoop is a new magnetic hoop that makes hooping very easy. There is no need to adjust the outer ring as the hoop holds the garment with magnetic force and automatically adjusts for different thicknesses. It also reduces the stress on your wrists and hands because it wants to pull itself together.

Even for thick garments, there is very little pressure needed to apply the hoop. Hoop burn is greatly reduced because of the way the hoop holds the fabric. Unlike clamps, Mighty Hoops are designed to work with the HoopMaster for easy accurate hooping.Let the Magnets do the Work!

We had been in business for 15 years and had worn out our original four-head six needle embroidery machine. Like a lot of people who are new to a business, we didn’t know a lot about embroidery machines when we started. After 15 years we knew what we wanted in an embroidery machine. We knew the right questions to ask, we knew the features we wanted, and we knew how to test an embroidery machine to find out if all the claims are true. We talked to and tested every major manufacturer on the market. We decided on the Melco EMT16. Notice I said ‘decided’ not ‘settled on’. The Melco was superior in every way. Quality and consistency of design, sewing speed, sewing field, ease of sewing caps, software (both the Melco OS and DesignShop). It was user friendly and easy to train our operators on. Three years later we are still 100% sure we made the right decision. The Melco’s have been a major factor in the growth of our embroidery business.”

- C.Northcutt, The DIGIGUY

Why take our word for it? Just check out our customer testimonials throughout the catalogue

We chose the Texjet direct to garment printer based on it’s price and capabilities plus the quality of print is higher than most other printers on the market. Since buying it our sales have doubled and it has completely changed our business around. We now have three printers and could not imagine not having them. We are amazed at how much business we now have.”

- Alex Cunliffe, Inkthreadable

We purchased an XTS embroidery machine and a TexjetPlus printer in July of this year to expand our business, and are very happy with our decision. Initially we picked Amaya as a company as we were impressed with the way they operated, the speed with which they handled our enquiry and their depth of knowledge about the product. The equipment is running well, and the service and support has been excellent to date”
