Antec Legend's micro adjustment system

[Denis Kolar]

Is someone is thinking about purchasing a manual press, Antec Legend should be on a top of your list.
It is maybe THE BEST manual out there (Vastex a close second).

If you do not why is that, take a look at this video and micro adjustment system that this press has.

How to Register a Screen

I own one that holds great registration and it is 18-19 years old. Mine has exactly the same head, but the newer ones are completely tool free, they have knobs instead of those bolts that have to be loosened up.

Two thumbs up for the people at Antec

BTW, they do not pay me for this, and there is nothing in it for me, just trying to help out someone who might be thinking about next purchase.

We own the Vastex V2000HD and it is a great manual, but like you said, the Antec is the best.  I don't regret going with the Vastex as we needed the numbering attachment and it's been great to us, and we hardly ever use the manual anyway so we haven't missed out on anything by not buying the Antec.  If I had a manual shop, or at the very least used our manual on a regular basis, I'd have Antec Legends.

One thing I forgot to mention, the press is really light (the spinning parts) and spinning the palets and print heads is effortless.
That is a huge advantage when you are a manual shop and you have to print for 8 hours or more. Your back and your arms will appreciate that you do not have to spin the press that weights a ton.

For any newbies on here.... added to that video if you register jobs to your film you can use plexyglass to register to the film rather than have to push the screen down hold to make regi adjustments. If you set up the press to be level with that plexiglass you should hardly ever have to mess with the offcontact settings ever for any good manual press. I still think registering on a junk tee is much easier and quicker.
