Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
LOL, he had me leaning too. Had to re-read that last part 3 times. I think Mike's mind wandered there for a moment.Kind of like Shanarchy when he said"I would take a good quality 6-4 over a lousy quality 6-4 any day"That statement is of course obvious, but from the article's subject, I think he meant (and I read it as)"I would take a good quality 6-4 over a lousy quality 6-6 any day" - But I could be wrong
Moose, you're straying here. Both presses have six heads, it's the number of stations that are different and are being questioned.
ours went under 5' of water from Hurricane Katrina for 1 week, and all I did for the press was power wash & regrease, replace the pallets, and still use it today.
So if I understand it correctly the benefits are, more time to cool down (could be combated with fans?) and obviously less "throw" so less effort on your part.Is there any other benefit?Woke up this morning to a classified ad being posted about 10 mins from the hotel that I'm staying in for a Antec 6/4. I was thinking about traveling 2.5 hours to pick up a 6/6 but this is cheaper and I'm already here with a truck!Going look at it tomorrow and will most likely get it Tuesday (when we leave).You guys are probably more excited than I am... no more answering questions on crazy contraptions that I make.
Both Antec Legends... but a big difference in price. One is in better shape and the other has been under water for a week... Quoteours went under 5' of water from Hurricane Katrina for 1 week, and all I did for the press was power wash & regrease, replace the pallets, and still use it today. Found that posted on another forum under his name (I do my research). Everything I've read about the Legends are that they are tanks so I assume this will be ok if I look at it and don't see any rust.$1500 6/4 with the badass auto flash (with air) here in town and I have truck ready to go vs$4500 6/6 with small flash, nuarc first exposure, national dryer (getting that 12' dryer down here)... plus it's 2.5 hours that I'll have to borrow a trailer or rent a truck for. So it's not a small difference in this case.
6/4 Antec Legend for 1500.00 plus a flash that's pretty much free at that price??? No brainer if it's in good shape. I have a 6c/4s Jennings press and I could see where 6 stations would be cool to have but even with 4 stations I never get a print that's too hot for the next color. I also like the bigger gaps between the boards to offset my flash dryer (an advantage over the 6/6/). Either one will print at the same speed. If someone can prove to me that a 6/6 is faster I'll call RJennings and have him rush me two more arms asap!Dont think water will ruin a manual press if it was recient, maybe take it apart and oil the bearings? The flash might be toast though...BTW, there's only 2 presses I would buy, Antec and RJennings.
