TAS? Anyone?

[Prosperi-Tees]

From the little you can find online these are brick sh:;houses and dang near indestructible, been around a long time and could be bad or good,but don't really change with the times and chase what every other manufacturer is doing. Anyone have experience with these presses? Pros and cons?

I have only heard good. I think they were the first to make a press that was circular or what ever our presses are called.

Pretty much!

They are good presses. Not mind-blowing, just good, reliable equipment. Like any press, they need care and feeding. The ones I worked with ran shift after shift without a hiccup.

The controls aren't' exactly intuitive, but they are simple enough and the micros get the job done. I know they have a pre-reg system  (pin type?) but the presses I worked with didn't have it.

I saw a newer video where the micros were adjusted from the top of the print head, seemed odd to me and wondered what the thought process is on that one.

I visited their factory earlier this year and chatted with the owner. Sentiments in the posts above seem correct to me. My impression was they are focused on solid old school engineering rather than progressing the new digital tech side. Which is not bad really.
I think the micros from above shift the entire frame clamp system rather than just the front clamp.

We refurbed about a dozen of these. Nice, well built machine that just runs. Had a few delays with getting some parts from Austrailia when they weren't stocked in CA. On the Ra and roc series the phone plug connectors can give issues over time. Side clamps for the frames give you a larger print area vs. front and rear setup though.

What do you want to know I own 2.  In a nut shell they have no bells and whistles.  Extremely easy to work on if you ever have to they are extremely reliable and if your just looking to get an auto used that won't need much attention that would be a good pick.

I'm torn between the no frills and just works TAS and the other end of the spectrum of ROQ or RPM with every bell and whistle possible. Really extreme ends of the spectrum. I like that TAS is not far from me in LA and they seem very responsive. Whereas that is a small question mark on the others.

I think the year your looking at is important. the older black ones are almost extinked..although there is a very nice one for sale on digitsmith. the tas presses I worked on were very nice, quiet and smooth machines. although I hated changing pallets. im sure the new ones they have quick release pallets now. the micros work excellent once you get used to them and that can take a while. from what I can see today is the used ones are reasonably priced and if maintained are a sure bet for a good used press.

also you can contact Mr. Tom Gross at art fx in Norfolk va. I think they are running 20 or 25 of them now.

For what it's worth, there are 2 or 3 ROQ techs in the LA area...

Last time I checked ( last week) he had 52 M&R presses and two Tas
