We have a 6/8 R Series, great press. The only regret is that we didn't get one with more colors!

If you have any questions regarding specific details let me know and I'll be more than willing to answer them.

Call Rich, get an auto, your business will change almost overnight.
I got lucky enough to get the first 6/8 Diamondback 3 years ago.  Sam got an 8/10.  Feel free to call me or Sam

Any opinions on the composite pallets? Specifically in comparison to aluminum?

I have to agree with a post  Dottonedan made a few weeks ago I would not go under 10 colors if I had it to do again. If I was to buy a 6 color I would by a Javelin or something that you didn't lose a head to a flash.

We started with a 6 and went to a ten. Well worth getting the 10. Call Rich you cant go wrong with him. Good luck.

Aluminium pallets are far more resistant to warping. Rarely an option on most autos anyway.

Get one, it changes your life. 

I would really try for a 8/10 though at the very least.

The composite pallets that are standard on the diamondback do not really warp. They are made of a special resin and fiberglass and are more expensive than aluminum. They were chosen because they are lighter and we also needed the volume to bring down the cost of the pallets used on our digital press as they are the same. Our volume is there now so we no longer have to put them on the Diamondback to get the proper pricing. You can order a Diamondback with aluminum pallets or composite now. Pricing is the same either way.
