We added another flashback to our Workhorse Sabre and a new Led exposure. I wish I had time to install it today

It seems many on the board have made Santa's good list this year!

I wonder how this one compares to other manufacturers units. It has a pretty attractive price tag.

Congrats!  We just added a second FB on one of our Sabres. 
Wish I would have bought two to begin with!

King,I agree! Our next sabre will be at least 10 or 12 color and will maybe get 1quartz and 1 flashback.

Go all Flashbacks!  We could never dial in our Quartz to where we liked.  Swapped it out for a second Flashback instead.  Quartz will be for sale shortly.   8)

Thanks for the heads up. I will stick with 2 flashbacks

Consider this. On our 8/10, with the new Advanaced Flashback modes, using two Flashbacks we now have the ability to print all 8 colors with as many as 4 flashes.

Yes! I have 2 sabre flashes on my 6/8 cutlass, and they are great! Even on a 6 color I would recommend 2 to anybody.

Lol! We all have different styles, when i went to my 8 color, i picked up another quartz and sold the flashback, as I didn't like it at all, not sure what the new advanced mode is, maybe that would have made it a keeper  :-\

We got the med size.  Workhose LED lumitron

Have you been able to use this yet? I'm leaning towards adding this to our order but haven't heard/seen much about it.

I just got mine 2 weeks ago and love it. 6.5 second burn times on almost all of my screens. I just ran a 3,000 piece plastisol run with no breakdown. It has been great for us. I was informed that Workhorse had redesigned the lighting from last years model starting in January. Some people had issues with the old model, but we are completely happy with ours.

Thanks, was hoping someone would say it's awesome and I 'could' justify buying it.

I had mentioned wanting to get the Workhorse Lumitron LED. We went ahead and added it to our order. Now that we've had in running for 6 weeks I thought I'd add a bit about it.

It was money very well spent. We found that for PC 701 emulsion- 12 seconds on 155, 8 seconds on 230, and 5 for 305- works perfect for us. I've had zero issues to date with screen break down on longer runs. Truthfully, I'm always happy when we spend money that makes life easier or more efficient in my shop.
