“So it’s basically cleaning with clean water and then all the dirty water is coming up into the tube over here.  So you’re always cleaning with clean water.”

Marketing Manager Dev Paltiel..  It is lightweight…at about five pounds….and works on a wide range of hard surfaces…wood, tile and more.  Head to www.Lifestylebyfocus.com for more info and save 20 percent on a purchase with the code..in all caps… FRED20.  It’s good through the end of August.

“And the way that it does that is it has something that most retail printers don’t have…which is a straight through feed.”

Great for creatives and for every day printing as well.

“So all these teams were competing at the highest level and their fields were located in all the most unique locations.  And it just showed that..where there’s a will there’s a way.  These teams found a place to set up their fields.  They found a way to safely practice with Covid protocols…cause that was important to us.”
