Title: Question for Anatol Help
Post by: Shanarchy on August 06, 2014, 09:51:55 AM
How long have you been with Anatol for?
Title: Re: Question for Anatol Help
Post by: Anatolhelp on August 06, 2014, 10:55:47 AM
A little over a year.....I started as a Regional Sales Manager, and have since been promoted to National Sales Manager.   I have extensive experience as a Leader of Sales and Marketing Teams for Major Companies in the US.    I choose Anatol as my employer because of the superior technology it has uses in developing new and innovative equipment.  The product is easy to use, quality throughout but most important it is intuitive to the Press Operator.  It is affordable and energy efficient.   Anatol has in the last year introduced 4 new presses in the VOLT series, ranging from image sizes of 15x16 to 21x 28, going up to 18 colors.  The all New Vulcan Gas Dryers and the New and Improved Solutions Electric Dryer. The New Prodigy Tag Printer.   The New Aurora UV LED Exposure is the newest in our innovative product line. No other Manufacture can boost of such accomplishments of adding new products to their line.   There is more to come this year, but I will hold that information close to the vest till we introduce the products.  No other company in the screen printing equipment market place has done more this year to keep the screen printer's shop up to date with the on best and most inovative equipment on the market.      Other notable changes in Anatol this past year is a new and improved parts and service department.  We have spent countless hours in training and have spent large amounts of money revamping our parts department to insure we can meet our customers demands.  We strive to serve our customer needs as quickly as humanly possible.  Most problem can be fixed over the phone during the initial call.  Our goal is to save our customers down time and the expense of a Tech coming to your shop.  Our Limited TWO years parts and LABOR warranty, is one of the most comprehensive warranties in the market.  Thanks for asking the question, I hope we can earn a chance to serve your companies screen printing needs.

I personally have noticed an improvement in service recently, but Anatol still has a long ways to go.

Parker you are correct, we have come a long way and with continued training and listening to our customers we are making huge strides in approving our parts and service department. If you can't or are not satisfied with the answers you get from our service department I welcome you to contact me directly.    Thanks for your noticing the improvement.

Thanks for the extensive answer.

I would now like to ask the board to give Anatolhelp (Terri if I remember correct) a little professional courtesy. He has only been with the company for a year. Let's not hold him accountable, or question him for the things that have happened prior to him joining Anatol.

I am very happy to see Anatol trying to make the effort to have a presence on this forum.

The point has definitely been made to Anatolhelp that there has been upset customers in the past, and people who question their support, etc.

Let's move on from it and give him a chance to do his job and prove himself, and keep questions to the products Anatol currently offers. Or to whatever topic he presents.

I'm not trying to defend Anatol's past, or even vouch for Anatolhelp in any way.  I just think it would be a great asset for this forum if we could a representative from as many companies as possible here to answer our questions about their products. M&R and Action are such great assets to this community.

We have 8 service reps and are looking for 2 more qualified people this month with plans to add more this year.  We have numerous dealers like May National (just to name one) that have over 28 years experience working on presses.  Please keep in mind our presses are designed for the shops to be able to do most service in their shops saving them time and money of a tech visit.

Now asking questions if Anatol has fixed one of their customers problems that they posted on this form is trolling?

It's ok for a guy to VENT about his problems with a company, but a follow up question to that company is wrong.Let me explain wrong to you, when a company any company take thousands of dollars from us screen printers and they don't hold their end of the agreement.

I honestly have to start questioning impressions here...limited posts, all in the same 2 or 3 topics and zero personal info...all of the posts have to do with Anatol.

And to be fair to Shanarchy, his post did state a "question."  That is singular form of questions..and he already asked a question, so we've reached the limit.

If you were so happy to address issues with an Anatol customer, why than did TCT have to come to the boards and post, my guess is that he wasn't happy with Anatol.

If people here want to forget about Anatol problems, good for them, I bet the customers that have problems are glad that I'm asking, at least in their emails they state that!

so from what I am reading impressions you do not have Anatol equipment and you do not have any issues directly with them.  Are you just trying to be the champion for those who do have an issue?  If so why would Anatol talk to you,

If you truly do not have any pressing equipment issues then why are you continuing to attack Anatol even after they have offered to help but yet you do not let them know your issues,  just keep bringing someones else problems up?  the issue TCT has  with Anatol is between him and Anatol.  if he has something to say to them I sure he will.   

completely agree 3deep

Maybe this is a good time for me to suggest that members fill out their profiles, even if it is a meager offering. I'd put a lot more information in mine if I was smart enough to figure it out (should that be in my profile? Computer idiot?) I don't have anything to hide form anyone, so I offer my name and contact information. I'm a real person with no hidden agendas, so no reason to hide behind a screen name. And to be totally honest, my name is not really Barth Gimble, he's just a hero of mine.

There was a time I carried the Anatol flag and engaged in some, for the lack of a better phrase, back patting on their behalf.  However, I have moved passed that and will only point out that no one can look a printed shirt and tell you what press it was printed on. They can, however, tell you the skill or lack of whoever printed it.  There are many great presses out there but that is only half the story. Support in and of itself much like the service at a restaurant can make or break a company regardless of the product. Anatol was rapidly heading towards the dumpster in terms of support a few years back. So much that I looked outside the company for support, ie the OTS Company out of California.  This summer my dryer went down and I reluctantly called Anatol for service. I was astonished at the difference they handled my request as compared to 2 years back.  Very prompt, professional and I might add compassionate. They left no stone unturned in the problem solving process and I was back up and going in a very reasonable time. Kudos to Anatol for making the necessary effort to improve your service department.

Support in and of itself much like the service at a restaurant can make or break a company regardless of the product. Anatol was rapidly heading towards the dumpster in terms of support a few years back. So much that I looked outside the company for support, ie the OTS Company out of California.  This summer my dryer went down and I reluctantly called Anatol for service. I was astonished at the difference they handled my request as compared to 2 years back.  Very prompt, professional and I might add compassionate. They left no stone unturned in the problem solving process and I was back up and going in a very reasonable time. Kudos to Anatol for making the necessary effort to improve your service department.


Thank you for the nice comment!  I am glad we could help!

A little over a year.....I started as a Regional Sales Manager, and have since been promoted to National Sales Manager.   I have extensive experience as a Leader of Sales and Marketing Teams for Major Companies in the US.    I choose Anatol as my employer because of the superior technology it has uses in developing new and innovative equipment.  The product is easy to use, quality throughout but most important it is intuitive to the Press Operator.  It is affordable and energy efficient.   Anatol has in the last year introduced 4 new presses in the VOLT series, ranging from image sizes of 15x16 to 21x 28, going up to 18 colors.  The all New Vulcan Gas Dryers and the New and Improved Solutions Electric Dryer. The New Prodigy Tag Printer.   The New Aurora UV LED Exposure is the newest in our innovative product line. No other Manufacture can boost of such accomplishments of adding new products to their line.   There is more to come this year, but I will hold that information close to the vest till we introduce the products.  No other company in the screen printing equipment market place has done more this year to keep the screen printer's shop up to date with the on best and most inovative equipment on the market.      Other notable changes in Anatol this past year is a new and improved parts and service department.  We have spent countless hours in training and have spent large amounts of money revamping our parts department to insure we can meet our customers demands.  We strive to serve our customer needs as quickly as humanly possible.  Most problem can be fixed over the phone during the initial call.  Our goal is to save our customers down time and the expense of a Tech coming to your shop.  Our Limited TWO years parts and LABOR warranty, is one of the most comprehensive warranties in the market.  Thanks for asking the question, I hope we can earn a chance to serve your companies screen printing needs.       

I really don't want to be "that guy" here but seriously(the items I bolded above)....... I just find the statements above to be pretty damn bold considering other players in the game have come out with new developments that I would consider to be "more innovative" then what I've seen come from the red camp...... Let's be honest here, anatol introduced a new all electric press but there's nothing new about that as its been done for years. Then here comes the LED exposure but your a year behind on that(hell if you look at the baby joe and some of the others your YEARS behind). Like I said, not trying to kick you guys below the belt but when you get on here throwing that kind of lingo out you better back it up and bluntly I don't see anything that anatol has done to set them apart from the competition. I'm curious what type of engineering and r&d department do you guys have at Anatol that is working on developing all this new stuff?

Whoa! Busy day at work hadn't allowed me to hang out with you guys. I have only read to post #13 on here and for the record, to anatol's knowledge my issues have been addressed(not the calling me a liar, but that is a different can of worms). There have been issues that have developed due to how the press was "fixed". But they technically did what was asked of them.

The dryer going down at the end of last week has nothing to do with my previous problems. That dryer just has issues on its own every few months.

I think that you are understanding "this" correctly, but perhaps ignoring its context established by a couple of other threads that turned nasty from the last few days.
You, and everyone else are reminded that The Shirt Board was specifically established three years ago as "A forum for friendly screen printers, embroiderers, and artists", and members were reminded to "Play nice"

This was far from the case recently.
Those requiring the "entertainment" seemingly provided by this sort of thing are reminded that there are other forums out there that may fill that need. (http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,620.0.html)

'couple of things . . .

1st, you seldom seem to agree with many things here and always have to have the last word. Most of us here accept that we are occasionally wrong and will admit it when it happens. You don't have to agree with what other ppl think, but you should be willing to accept their right to think differently from you. You yourself are very set in your ways (your perception/opinion) and ppl have learned to give you slack and disagree without calling you out. Please extend that courtesy to the others!

2nd, Terry expressed his subjective opinion. As such, he has the right to it and this thread was started to get his thoughts (opinions) so we have better understanding of him as a person, NOT to try and change him (which this has turned into). If the post was about Anatol and why they are superior, arguing those points would be what the thread was about. In this case discussion was about the reasons why Terry joined Anatol.

Regardless if anybody shares his opinion on why he joined Anatol, reality is, this is a great opportunity as we all think of Anatol as potentially a great company that is lacking just a little bit. Terry is in the position to contribute that little bit and based on the feedback provided so far it seems to be working. This puts Terry in the unique position to be the guy who turned Anatol around. I certainly would love to have such a feather in my cap!

A little over a year.....I started as a Regional Sales Manager, and have since been promoted to National Sales Manager.   I have extensive experience as a Leader of Sales and Marketing Teams for Major Companies in the US.    I choose Anatol as my employer because of the superior technology it has uses in developing new and innovative equipment.  The product is easy to use, quality throughout but most important it is intuitive to the Press Operator.  It is affordable and energy efficient.   Anatol has in the last year introduced 4 new presses in the VOLT series, ranging from image sizes of 15x16 to 21x 28, going up to 18 colors.  The all New Vulcan Gas Dryers and the New and Improved Solutions Electric Dryer. The New Prodigy Tag Printer.   The New Aurora UV LED Exposure is the newest in our innovative product line. No other Manufacture can boost of such accomplishments of adding new products to their line.   There is more to come this year, but I will hold that information close to the vest till we introduce the products.  No other company in the screen printing equipment market place has done more this year to keep the screen printer's shop up to date with the on best and most inovative equipment on the market.      Other notable changes in Anatol this past year is a new and improved parts and service department.  We have spent countless hours in training and have spent large amounts of money revamping our parts department to insure we can meet our customers demands.  We strive to serve our customer needs as quickly as humanly possible.  Most problem can be fixed over the phone during the initial call.  Our goal is to save our customers down time and the expense of a Tech coming to your shop.  Our Limited TWO years parts and LABOR warranty, is one of the most comprehensive warranties in the market.  Thanks for asking the question, I hope we can earn a chance to serve your companies screen printing needs.       

I really don't want to be "that guy" here but seriously(the items I bolded above)....... I just find the statements above to be pretty damn bold considering other players in the game have come out with new developments that I would consider to be "more innovative" then what I've seen come from the red camp...... Let's be honest here, anatol introduced a new all electric press but there's nothing new about that as its been done for years. Then here comes the LED exposure but your a year behind on that(hell if you look at the baby joe and some of the others your YEARS behind). Like I said, not trying to kick you guys below the belt but when you get on here throwing that kind of lingo out you better back it up and bluntly I don't see anything that anatol has done to set them apart from the competition. I'm curious what type of engineering and r&d department do you guys have at Anatol that is working on developing all this new stuff?

Danny, please understand, I am not trying to take away the accomplishments of other equipment manufactures, I am sure they have significant accomplishment and achievement they are proud to brag about. You are correct other companies have developed "an all electric press", but The Volt processes many unique and innovative features that aren't found on any other "all electric press", such as the Aries II operating system, the multi-step back feature, digital off center contact just to name a few.   We have a R and D full of engineers with years of experience looking at better ways to build better equipment.  The Prodigy Tag Printer, The Aurora UV LED Unit,  the Volt, the New Vulcan Gas Dryers,  Aries II operating system are just a few advancements we introduce in the past year.  Bold Statements yes, but please look at what we have done, hopefully you will be impressed.

'couple of things . . .

1st, you seldom seem to agree with many things here and always have to have the last word. Most of us here accept that we are occasionally wrong and will admit it when it happens. You don't have to agree with what other ppl think, but you should be willing to accept their right to think differently from you. You yourself are very set in your ways (your perception/opinion) and ppl have learned to give you slack and disagree without calling you out. Please extend that courtesy to the others!

Really, can't tell you how many threads I read on this site that I do not add any comments as I either am learning or agree. Didn't feel the need to be like "I agree" on every thread I read that I agree with so someone can judge what they think I am doing vs actually doing here. Threads like that far outweigh the ones I add comments or stir the pot on, so "many" might be a reach in the context of total threads I read/visit. I fully accept others right to believe whatever they want about whatever equipment. 

2nd, Terry expressed his subjective opinion. As such, he has the right to it and this thread was started to get his thoughts (opinions) so we have better understanding of him as a person, NOT to try and change him (which this has turned into). If the post was about Anatol and why they are superior, arguing those points would be what the thread was about. In this case discussion was about the reasons why Terry joined Anatol.

I think it's interesting is all.  Many of not most threads on this site become side talk or off topic and so on. Seems like it's often or almost always OK in other threads, but now we are handling Anatol with kids gloves?

Regardless if anybody shares his opinion on why he joined Anatol, reality is, this is a great opportunity as we all think of Anatol as potentially a great company that is lacking just a little bit. Terry is in the position to contribute that little bit and based on the feedback provided so far it seems to be working. This puts Terry in the unique position to be the guy who turned Anatol around.

I agree with you on this for sure and if you are reading this must be the 100th time ive said it on forums. Id like Anatol and for that matter all manufactures to build the best equipment possible and offer great service so people don't get ripped off AND so the competition creates stronger products.  This industry lacked that for a bit IMO and it seems to be changing now and people are seriously innovating, I love that. So I get your desire...we all share it I suspect.

pierre,  I could never take credit for "turning Anatol around"   I am just a one player on a team of professionals that care about our products, but most important care about our customers and filling their needs for screen printing equipment.  I will agree with you that this is a great opportunity.    Thanks for your feedback.

I have had my Anatol Horizon 7/8 since 2007 and have been very happy with my little auto, I've had issues like replacing a few air stroke cylinders and recently replaced the main lift cylinder, but crap wears out the press has over 887,000 impressions on it now. It is super easy to work on, that exactly why i bought an all air machine. Simplicity, my customers make my days complicated enough  ;)
