"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Well i just bought a auto last year...for me, since i had exactly no experience with, i wanted support. Not just from the company itself but from also other printers using them..The other printers know what problems may creep up or have fixed something before..AND the quality of the press.. I needed both.
Do you guys think that anything someone says about a competitor that is negative, even if it were a design flaw that was serious or a mention of terrible customer service that was legit (hard to know for sure if its legit but...)?
TCT, nothing bad here I was ranting a little myself, yes I'm very happy with my Anatol and would buy again, but this time I would really know more about what to look for and what I need and not be fed a line by a sales rep....I really think they can make or break a company look at you know who...to much wasted talent.Darryl
I agree Alan even though I have never printed on an all servo press. I can't understand why that's not an option.
If I'm out shopping for a press and not a newbie, all I want to know is what there press is capable of doing, the bells and whistles your company offers with the press and service after the sale. If you got more info about another companies product and less about your own that will kill a sale for me.Darryl
On the subject of how a press is configured, for example, servo drive and AC print heads, I've never understood why there are so many servo driven and air operated print heads out there. If I could only have one of those options, AC print heads or servo indexer, I'd choose AC print heads and it's not even close. Sure it's nice to have a machine indexing smooth and quiet, but when it comes to performing the most important part of what we do, you know, the actual printing part, AC print heads are where it's at. An air indexer or servo for that matter has nothing to do with the actual squeegee stroke. If money were holding me back from getting both options on an auto, AC print heads are what's actually important yet you see a ton of servo driven presses with air operated print heads on the used market. It should be the other way around if people were really concerned about how the machine prints, not how well it indexes. Just my thoughts on that, anyone agree or disagree? Or care?
