Just noticed their spec sheet for this press claims speeds up to 2K per hour. Seems a little bit ambitious.
-
Yes, does seem
ambiguous ambitious.
-
Well I don't care who makes it, who the hell gonna run a press that fast every day, sales pitch yep!!!!! can it, maybe or maybe not also depends on the person loading and unloading or person's.
-
my understanding is that the tag printers run much faster than regular full size press. It is a smaller print and less discerning when it comes to placement. . .

also faster to load and unload
-
Still that's a lot of work for an hour :'( is what I'd be doing after an hour
-
robots will probably be here soon enough...

If that is a tag printer that they make, I can see those numbers if you have 2 good people running it. It is ridiculously easier and faster to load a tag printer. Think I have seen a YouTube video with 2 ladies running a RapidTag at something like 2100/hr. Good pallets with notches in them help a tremendous amount, you really can almost feel the shirt into place.
-
Its not a tag printer. No digs at Anatol I've done enough of that.. Some of their machines are quite well designed. It's just that (at least for our clients) QC would just go out of the window no matter who makes the machine. Some placement tolerances are less than 1/4" these days.
-
Sincerest apologies. It is indeed a tag printer. Must have been dyslexic when going through the spec sheet. There is a video on you tube. No time to time it but yes, it is fast.
-
Tony, maybe you should join my Mom's support group. She spent 30+ years as a reading specialist. Her group is DAM, Mothers Against Dyslexia. ;D
-
Haha Dave. Yes I was looking at a spreadsheet not a spec sheet. Looking foolish on this one. Got your message will be in town this weekend. Again my apologies to Anatol. That was an inappropriate post.

FYI..........The new Prodigy has Servo-indexing and with dual flashes, the Prodigy can print up to 2000 tags in an hour. The advanced operating system allows one-touch access to machine settings.
The Prodigy offers 6 stations and prints from 1 to 3 colors. The maximum image size is 6” X 6” and the standard pallet dimension is 6” X 9”. The user can print tags, koozies and thicker fabrics (for example: socks). Dual flashes provide virtual stacking and packing of finished products.

HA Tonypep that's what you get for jumping the gun and trying to bash my Red Team LOL ;D ;D ;D
-
Agreed!
-
2000 pcs/hour but it's an Anatol so you'll only have so many hours to work with.
:)
-
Ouch....
-
Lets give Anatol a break please. All companies can turn themselves around.
Posters remorse :-\

I suspect Evo knows nothing about our tag printer, he never owned one never used one. I wonder how he came up with his facts or is he just "Anatol Bashing".
Is this a fair comment? Do comments like this further a conversation about a press or a company?

I think it's a little brash to start calling members out when all history of Anatol on this board has proven towards his post.
-
Can some one post some pics of this press? So everyone can see what is being talked about, and maybe a vid of the press running at the speeds posted.

Chris, thanks. A video is currently in production as we speak. I will post one as soon as it is available.

Companies can turn themselves around and I'm not sure if that really applies in this situation but I guess it all depends on how you look at it and who is looking at it. I hope that a year from now I can say positive things about more equipment manufacturers. I don't get enjoyment out of giving my opinions when they're negative, I really don't. And I sure as hell don't get any enjoyment out of listening to shop owners or managers telling me about negative issues with equipment manufacturers, that is even worse.
-
If I remember correctly(I am pretty sure it was ISS Nashville) it looks a lot like "The Claws" tag machine that The OTS in CA made. Only with a large almost air tank as the base. Yes, you can use that idea of making the base a air reserve tank... ;D
-
Ok that was an off the cuff remark and maybe I should have kept it to myself.
Here is a clearer statement:
From everything I've read and heard about Anatol over the years, I would never buy an Anatol press and I would think twice about working for a shop that owned one.
I hope Anatol can turn that kind of sentiment around and I hope any current Anatol owners are happy.
-
Thanks for all your comments. I welcome constructive comments with first hand knowledge of our equipment.

Hey Anatolhelp, what's your name? Sometimes when people are on a first name basis it helps take down some barriers.
Ill help you out here-

I have to say, that's a cute looking little press ;)
side channel thought:
is this how those koozie printer guys are able to print for so cheaply?
or are they using a big press with 6 or 8 koozies per arm?

I'll see your reserve air tank and go you one better
This could open a whole new fan base as well!

Well played sir, well played.

TCT, happy to introduce myself. My first name is Terry. Thanks for posting the correct picture from our website. I was waiting till I could make a big splash with the video.
-
Sorry about that Terry, I thought it would help for the visual people. I'm sure people will still rather check out your video. If you guys take Frog's design advice your video may very well go viral...

LOL....for those of you who aren't sure, the reserve air tank featured in Frog's picture is not standard, it's an option. BTW...it's not needed on the VOLT series of Presses, because they are all electric. <----shameless plug for the Volt !

Terry, Frog's "air tank" is a keg my good man

TCT, I understand it's a keg....just my attempt at some humor.
-
I was kinda thinking it could be a self-pumped hookah...
but either option would could be fun at times...
Terry, thanks for joining in the humor... with the crew here, having fun, cracking jokes, and keeping it light will go a long way.
-
IN before someone makes a veiled Anatol insult and the thread gets locked! ;D
I <3 my Anatol

I think it's a smart idea...small footprint, fast printer. It would be a good addition to shop that do a ton of sleeves or pockets and really don't want a full sized auto for that. The only downside is a smaller screen which would be hard to work with on things like a DTS or other pre-reg systems...and you would need to add a smaller screen rack and scoop coater.

I bet you could make a screen holder out of an old 23x31 that takes the small screens and would then fit in a DTS. It should not be that hard or expensive!

Thanks for joining us here Terry!
Comrades,
Anatol has lacked an online presence for a while. Yes, there is some negatives in their past, but let's at least give Terry some respect and give her a chance. There are some Anatol owners on this forum and I think it would be great if they cold post an issue or question and have someone from the company answer questions, offer help, etc.
I'm not asking anyone to be pro-anatol, just give her a fair chance.

I know this post is getting better , but dam every time Anatol is brought up a little bash and stash go on and I think I know the real reason why, but anyway I wish Donnie would post on here he is an Anatol press owner,and another guy out in Cali that has a shop full of Anatol presses that use to post. I know Anatol has got a bad rap here, but hopefully they will stay the long haul, I know I'm happy with my press and would buy another with no problem other than that I blame Tonypep for this one LOL tonypep I'm just jabbing at ya in fun :P
