Screen Printers Beware!!! Jason Rodriguez is scum of the earth! Ripped us off for a little over $20,000. I really don't even know where to begin. We thought we were purchasing a 2007 automatic press. Jason sent us pictures of a beautiful looking press. Included in the $20,000 we were supposed to receive a full installation and training from Jason. Here is what ended up happening:
The press ended up looking nothing like the pictures Jason sent us. The press ended up being pieced together from 4 different years none of which were 2007. Jason couldn’t get the press running so the install and training never happened. He then stopped answering the phone. Then he stopped answering email and all forms of communication.*
During this process we discovered online that Jason Rodriguez is a serial conman. All you need to do is google search 'Jason Rodriguez screen printing' and there are literally dozens of articles about this crook. Unfortunatley we wired Jason the money up front. The guy sure could talk the talk. Jason came off as a nice genuine guy but he turned out to be a pathological liar and manipulating scam artist.
I tracked down the guy who sold Jason the press and his name was Matthew. Matthew was a very nice guy and cooperated with me since I told him how bad we got screwed. I found out that Matthew sold the press to Jason for $7500 and made it clear to Jason that the press was never set up and has not run for at least three years. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jason told us that the press was in perfect working order and we "wouldn’t need to put another dime into it." THE NERVE!
I have never met anyone quite like Jason Rodriguez. We got lawyers involved but Jason has no assets. He has been doing this for over a decade in the screen printing industry and he knows how to get away with murder. His company is registered under his wife's Dana's name. He lives with his step mom and does not own the house. He has filed bankruptcy several times and operates under different business names and alias's. He has even mimicked other legitimate business's names in order to look like he is an extension or division of another company.*
I am posting on all the t-shirt/screen printing forums about this guy because I want to prevent this from happening to other business’s.*

Do not deal with Jason Rodriguez. He is known for this and has had many many posters on this forum screwed over. I'm surprised he's still around because it seems that most (on this forum at least) have been informed of his shady dealings.

Good luck getting your money, I never got mine.

I here he now works for Tex Source out of Atlanta. You could try their Norcross Office.

I heard the IRS is also looking for him, who knows, he may soon be behind bars for all the money hed made cheating people and not declaring taxes on any of it.

He still owes us 8 squeegees/flood bars, 10 sets of youth pallets, and parts for our press. Its been over 8 months now and still nothing. The press that was sent was suppose to be gone through and in 100% working order and it was far from that. This is our experience with him and it is not a good one. I suggest never doing business with him if you want to save your self the headache and mental mental anguish that it will cause you.
