Anatol LED Exposure unit

[Prosperi-Tees]

I have 4 pieces of equipment that has not given me any problems.
1) BBC flash dryer thats keeps going 5 years strong
2) Lawson Conveyor dryer that just keeps going (oops 1 problem - belt motor brushes wore out)
3) Geo Knight heat press
4) Ingersol Rand air compressor that is overworked

Everything else has issues

I'm sitting here chuckling at the e-drama going on in this thread.  I really don't understand people getting butthurt about others voicing their opinions, biases, etc.  If only all this energy was being spent on information instead of arguing!

I will say I think it would be better for spokespeople from competing companies to stay out of threads about other companies unless to address specific factual information about their equipment if it is brought up by end users. It really isn't a big deal and there isn't a clear line to be crossed usually, but it tends to fuel the drama fire in threads like this and often comes across as promotional rather than informative.   I have seen quite a few posts from reps that cross this "line" (in my opinion) in threads and most of the time I end up ignoring those posts as they don't really add to the discussion.  I also think it isnt necessary, as people who like a brand tend to do plenty of cheerleading on their own without the input of vendors.  I know I certainly have brands I feel strongly about...

My ANCIENT geoknight heat press is a champ.  Same with my ANCIENT National conveyor dryer.

Warranty 2 years covers parts and labor
32 rows of LEDs equivalent of 48 per row = 1536 UV LEDs
21x24 $2250 + crate and freight
23x31 $3776 + crate and freight
31x40 $6795 + crate and freight

At $700 more for the M&R unit I'd lean that way. I thought there would be a more significant difference, like the $3k one
between a medium and large size unit.

Does the Anatol come with a stand?

Just a FYI our small one (23X31) is $4195 and our large one (31X40) is $7495.

Look like we might be getting back on track here, since I started the thread I'll ask this, Rich without asking about price, what makes your unit much better than or the go to choice for LED units, I ask the same question to A@#$L without either of you giving out any trade secret or patent stuff. Lets base this on the same machine size 31x40 all I won't to know is apple to apple on the units, lets forget about company reputations.  I'm asking these two companies in a man up debate not anyone else's opinion what you think just these guys or any other company that would like to toss there machine of the same size in here.  I don't claim to know anything about LED I think they are really going to be a game changer no matter who makes them and who you buy from and I don't care who's best but just a level playing field so whoever wants one has a choice.

I own the Starlight, and one thing for sure that's better is the warranty, LIFE TIME warranty on the LEDs, not 2 years.

Again, service wins!

[Prosperi-Tees]

I got an email from Anatol promoting this unit, I replied and asked if it had a lifetime warranty and they did not respond.

[GraphicDisorder]

Threads like this are great IMO, some people can't handle them and that's OK too.  I know this, as Anatol keeps taking it on the chin they will maybe wake up to how they are viewed in the market and react improve it, thus creating more competition. We all win when that happens.  M&R will then respond with a better product and so on. 

If you are mad at that then wowz.

[sweetts]

Must be the service, do you guys have any recent service complaints on recent items from Anatol? I ask because it's always the same people with the same complaints. I don't visit the site much as of late because it just seems too blue. I think when people are discussing new products and the competition M&R keeps jumping in to slam the other product, the board is nothing more than a big M&R commercial and if I wanted that I would go to their site.

Darryl there are some things I can't say but I can say the LED we use is exclusive to M&R and as such no one will have access to it. By looking at the photo I can see we use better electronics as our touch screen is easier to use and not a membrane switch design that is only available from the manufacturer. Our vacuum system and pump are much better quality as well as way quiter than what was on the video. Our machine is already wired and prepared for customers to switch the unit to CTS exposures. I will also bet our resale value will be way higher when the time comes. All said better LEDS, components,adaptability, resale, warranty for life on LED, money back guarantee, and service when you need it. The rest I don't want to reveal.

I am thinking that blue paint must cost a ton that's why the big price difference " bahahah

yea that's the reason. Nothing to do with the fact we have about 30 percent more higher quality LED'S.

[alan802]

So let's say an LED bulb went out, does the lifetime warranty replace that one single bulb or will a strip need replacing or the whole thing need to be done?  I have only seen the Vastex up close but not that close that I could tell if a single bulb could be replaced or if all the strips were attached in a way that you could replace them.

thirty percent more higher quality! You don't say. How is that figured? What makes one diode more higher quality then the next just curious what you are basing that on. Is it just output wavelength stability q point Thermo stability.

I have never used or even seen the Starlight Exposure Unit. I am not bold enough to judge by a picture or video only without first hand knowedge.   I can only speak of the features and value of the Aurora UV LED Exposure Unit. 

Price and features make it the best value on the Market!

The features of the Anatol UV LED Aurora Exposure Unit!
 
9.5 (3/8') thick optical plate glass, not plastic to avoid scratching.
LED timer with digital readout
Heavy Duty fully enclosed all steel cabinet
Two year warranty covering parts and labor on the entire unit.  LED lights have a life of over 50,000 hours(why have a lifetime warranty for something that last that long?) Sounds like Marketing to me or a way to charge more? 
Program up to four different profiles for fast and easy setting recall
Removable covers provide easy access to components for fast cleaning
More LED UV lights than any other LED Unit on the Market for the best light and uniformed distribution
Separate delay and exposure time adjustments

AEU2124    8 x 37 x 25  21 x24  Screen Capacity     Price $2,250 plus crate and freight  Free Stand
AEU2331    8 x 39 x 30  23 x 31 Screen Capacity     Price $3,776 plus crate and freight  Free Stand
AEU3140    8 x 55 x 42  31 x 40 Screen Capacity     Price $6795  plus crate and freight  Free Stand

Coming Soon a smaller version for entry level shops.     

Like the Volt All Electric Press it is taking the market by storm!
