that is a pretty impressive interface there!!! I wish we had some of those features on our MHM.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

A technicality worth mentioning is that machine is still controlled by a PLC, like all the rest of our presses. The tablet is the HMI (Human Machine Interface). Most "Touch Screen" interfaces are an industrial HMI. Twenty years ago, the industrial HMI would've been the product of choice. Today, consumer products like the tablet, are tested for harsher conditions and offer more feature value.

Is it then field replaceable with a commodity product?  Cause that would be a great selling point...

Yes, it's field replaceable. Split the case and it's a standard Dell tablet with standard connections.

Really cool how you don't have to mount the flashback on the head now. Can this press use the same quarts plug and go flash that the falcon uses as well?

Very sweet looking. What's a 10 color run at the introductory rate?

Yeah, there's one in the showroom. The second video was shot there. Stop on by! We'll give you the tour and show you the press.

Hey nice vid, but did I here that this machine is wifi? that scares me being able to go on the internet, what protects the control head from virus attacks if possible.  Allso with this much control within the print head you should be able to keep a print job on a zip drive and recall that job.

There's anti-virus software on the tablet. The wifi service you'll be using will likely be your own, so it will be secure. If you're still worried, you can turn off the wifi.

Info on storing set up data will be released soon.

Paul.... I'm sure you meant to say "anti-virus" software.
