This is interesting, a 2 color auto?
« on: January 27, 2012, 05:29:06 PM »
I heard a few weeks back about this and I just now saw this article.  It’s a MHM two color, one flash station, 4 pallet auto. It has a 9.5' footprint. Kind of cool?

That is cool but at a hefty price tag im sure, but like it says 1-2 color wet on wet jobs while your main auto is running the big color orders.

It has a flash station. So you could do a PFP white or  any color print with white underbase. Why they didn't just make it a 3 color that you could use the 2nd station as a flash if you want.

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!

That can't be right. It is based on the S-type so it would be a little expensive but 40K. You can get a 6 color E-type for a little over 40K. and its foot print is just over 11 feet? The savings of space is not worth that many less heads? Am I wrong?

40k is ridiculous if true.

Yeah, doesn't anatol make one like that?  40K is unreal, it should be less than half that...and the size should be smaller.  9.5 is still huge, unless it has a large print size

Anatol does make one like that though dont know the price but if I had to guess since a 5/6 Titan is 15K I bet the 2 color would be about 10K

An Anatol Titan 2 color 4 station goes for $14,515.00 plus freight, crate, etc...

I have a video of a 2 color 6 station Horizon (Servo/AC) here...

I would use it. Would be a good machine for easy small additional prints.

My only issue is foot print is the same as one with more heads right?  I know each color cost but if you are going to take up the real estate then might as well maximize it's effectiveness.

What does the Horizon or Titan 4 color cost anyway (does it come in a 5/6?)

Big or small footprint.. how much is your 8 color losing by running a 1 color all day. This might not fit on most floors, but a shop that does large qty of bags or other single hits all day will benefit greatly.
