New manual press

[Shawn (EIP)]

eyeballin' a 4/4 Hopkins for 700.00 dont really need it but it's only 700 bucks... and a National 6/6 for 750.00 , I could turn a profit on both of them. The wifey might kick me in the nuts though I even mention springing another press.  I really need an auto.

And with your stairs and no freight elevator, you have a perfect location for branching out into used equipment sales! LOL!

Does any manu make a 4 color 1 station tabletop press with micros that take a 23" auto screen?

Call and ask Workhorse, but since the Odyssey is said to take a 32 inch screen, even if that is length, it should still easily cover your 23" (what I assume is ) width

I just can't stand not to have old timey redundency. Me and machines have a checkered history. Worst case is put the old manual in the corner and wait till it's a relic and make an art display out of it.

Best case is whent the auto craps out, hurry up and finish the job on the manual to make the absurd due date they gave you,and then go fix the auto.

But I'm not right in the head.

I do Rick......I remember the scheduling dept had to actually add time to the set up procedure!

I just found a 1 station workhorse press to compliment my 8/8.  It is only about 45 minutes from my house, never used and very, very nicely priced.  I am going to head down and get it just for those times I need to run some on ecolor backs or sleeves or something.  The best part is that all my workhorse platens should slide right on.

This press has been great so far.  It's awesome for pockets and sleeves.  I have a job with 65 pcs and I hate changing over the platens on the auto, so toss one on here and print away.  I can be done with the job in less time than it takes to change the pallets over and back...and setup the job and take it down.  Setups are easier on manuals.

[Printhouse]

That was my goal.  My 14 year old is going to be working in the shop this summer and now that I have a 54 inch dryer we could be running fronts and backs at the same time!  That along with doing simple one color things on this small press would be great.  It will pay for itself the first week.  I am glad that you started this post.

Mine will pay for itself when I sell off the other stuff I got with it.  Anybody need a 220v flash unit?

Interestingly, there was a thread here some time back which was just the opposite, and more than one owner of an auto was telling me that their manual was gathering dust!
