Looks like a nice unit Terry.
Question for users of tagging presses...
with the flash cures that are in these type of units, I assume that you're not going for a full cure of the ink... do you just assume that the ink will get fully cured when you send the shirt down your normal belt dryer? do you have to do anything special to make sure that the collar is open? or since it's a tag does it not matter as much?

I know the ASPE printer actually uses those quartz "flashes" for the final FULL cure. When they come of their press they are DONE.

It's cool that you got Kevin Costner to do the voiceover. ;D
What is the starting price on this unit?

Really? I didn't hear it... but hey, "I didn't pay $6 to watch Kevin Costner drink his own urine!" - Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot

No need to send down the dryer.....flash cures fully!

Whats the msrp on this unit. Looks like a good little press.
-
Why isn't this all electric?
-
Gilligan we made it just for you because we know how much you love pneumatics....lol...seriously It does have a servo motor for indexing. We wanted to keep it as affordable as possible.

We have his voice, and i have Kevins good looks !

Depends on how many colors....lets just say around 10K, could be less or more depending on your needs.

l...seriously It does have a servo motor for indexing. We wanted to keep it as affordable as possible.
Whoa, I'm completely confused.
I thought the reason you guys made the Volt was to make a uber affordable entry level press. Now the reason you with with pneumatics on the Prodigy to save money?!

My first thought, (just thinking logically with no preconceptions or agenda), would be more affordable to the widest market, because most shops buying this would have an auto, and most autos need air, so most shops would already have a compressor.
But perhaps I'm way off.
-
No Andy thats pretty much spot on.
-
I have no agenda... I'm just stating that the words coming out of his mouth don't make much sense.
What about the guy that he sells the Volt to? Now if he wants a tag printer in the corner he has to add the compressor that he just told him he didn't need and was so passé.

Did Terry steal your high school sweetheart?

Never ever said that we made the VOLT as a entry level press !!!!!!! Far from the truth......The VOLT isn't entry level at all ! Doesn't mean though that the your first automatic or your next press shouldn't be a VOLT! There is nothing entry level about a 18 station 16 color press with a 20 x 28 image size! (largest configuration) Never said it was a "Cheap Press" In fact it is the most advanced press on the market. I did say it was affordable, I said it was energy efficient. I did say no need for a chiller or compressor.
The Volt comes in all different configurations.
The simple facts are that a pneumatic press is less expensive to build than a quality all electric press. Why do you think that servo and electronic print heads cost more on pneumatic presses?
Quality built.....built to last and to be trouble free with less maintenance. I don't call that entry level !

I guess if he buys a Prodigy he will need a very small compressor and chiller. It means that his business is expanding and he is doing more and different type of work.
-
Guess that clears that up, now on to how the choppers on the volt work!
-
easy as 123....1. turn the both chopper cylinders down or up to the desired level....2. clockwise to lower and counter clockwise to raise to desired pressure. 3. test print to make sure you have the correct pressure for your needs.
oh, did I ever mention to you about the Digital Off Center contact on the VOLT? No other press offers this great feature....no more adjusting with tools under the press. 98 different adjustment, like other presses that offer only three settings.....opps I forgot we are on this thread speaking about the Prodigy Tag Printer.
-
Yea there is another at least one if not more with digital off contact. Just saying.
-
Gauntlet Z did that 10 years ago. Just sayin.

Does it have a digital read for the pressure on the choppers?
-
Actually looks like a nice little unit.
Sorry Terry, but I got to bust your balls here...
In fact it is the most advanced press on the market.
Dude how can you say that, you have to MANUALLY screw clamp the screens in!!! Plus you can't adjust the print pressure! You could probably say it is a great press for it's niche. Saying it's the most advanced on the market is like saying we can run a full shop with a great Yudu press and some speedball ink.

We have the RapidTag, and they say it is fully cured, but as a safety we always mix some low cure additive.

TCT, I would have been disappointed if i didn't hear from you, it wouldn't be the same if you didn't come on one of the threads and bust my chops somehow....lol
Thanks for your compliment on the Aurora Printers looks....
-
Looks can go a long way, based solely on looks and the video I would venture it is a more capable press with better results than the RapidTag....
-
Thanks again !
-
cool little machine, looks more solid than the rapid tagger.
PS. dude sounds nothing like Costner ;D
-
thanks, and I look like Kevin too! It is a awesome press!
-

I was thinking the same thing. The rapid tag printer didn't impress me at the show. It looked very flimsy. But, I guess if you're only printing tags it may not be fine.
This Anatol one seems much more durable, and actually looks like it's made for production.
-
Dude. We do durable well. :-)
