Mikey Designs & Silk Screen did you go with the Anatol Matt? I had a feeling you were going to. If you did, just beware that they have a major design flaw of not holding squeegee angle. It is just smooth metal on metal and even a slight amount of pressure will make it flop back to 30 degrees.

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

@@Pat_S Thanks for the insight, Pat! You'll have to see. Keeping it hush hush at the moment.

[@Pat_S]

Mikey Designs & Silk Screen looking forward to the announcement! If you did go Anatol, ours is a huge workhorse. The squeegee angle thing is a big problem, but it can be dealt with. Their support is the best I've ever seen. We're doing orders in less than hour that used to take half a day.

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

@@Pat_S Nice! What model did you get? What did they say about the squeegee angle issue? Announcement to come as soon as it rolls in. I'm excited!

[@Pat_S]

Mikey Designs & Silk Screen volt 6/8. Thing is a beast. They haven't really offered a solution to the angle issue though. They sent us a new squeegee holder assembly but it just does the same thing. There is nothing that locks it in place, just a knob that presses smooth metal against smooth metal. We get everything set and then do a test print, usually on 15 or 20 degrees and as it strokes, it just slides back as far as it will go to 30 degrees. We have to keep putting it back and adjust the pressure back and forth and eventually it stays. It's just a really poor engineering design decision. They need teeth or something that locks it in place. It's really my only complaint about the machine, but had I known I would have bought an M&R instead.

[@brandsandempires]

Absolutely love hearing a success story in progress. Good luck with the sale Matt!

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it. It's going to be a real task making it a smooth transition. Juggling getting our current press out and the new one setup with minimal down town. :)

I'm excited watching your business grow, you do awesome work, congrats to you and your new success...can't wait to see the new press and more of your fantasy work

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you! It's awesome being able to share our growth and work with such a great community.

[@jurassicprintsscreenprinti1112]

Hell yes. Congrats to you both. Somebody needs to swoop that press quick. All the time and new parts y'all have put into that press will make it a steal at any price. Look forward to seeing what's next. I'll put my bet on a new shiny green machine...

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thanks Jurassic!!! We're excited and can hardly wait. A lot of TLC went into this press and I agree. Great thing about these machines is their simplicity and would make a great starter getting into automation. Guess you'll just have to see :)

What did you replace the Javlin with? What were the reasons? Just curious. I have a Gaunlet 1 I am rebuilding, and I am helping someone get a Tuf Freedom operational. It sta out side for a year, and needs cleaning/lubing etc. Cheers

[@thirdeye5176]

Hi Mikey! Love the videos and the intro!! What did you get for it? Thinking of purchasing one. Also, what did you not like about the Javelin that you wanted in your new press?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you! I got 8k for it. The Javelin was a great stepping stone press for us. It got the job done. My only complaints would be having to collect ink a bunch, because the v squeegee tends to leave a lot of the ink towards the rear, and the press consumes a lot of air. Now that we have our new press, I've noticed that the prints are more consistent with A/C heads, but again, it was a great move up from printing manually. Thanks for watching!

What is an early 2000 Javilin go for. You can just give a range to hint. I bought a used 8/10 gaunlet and dryer for $6500. Adding a chiller and 7hp compressor I am in for about $11,000 CAD or $8200 US Now I have to find the video about your new press. Since I am helping set up a Tuf Freedom, I am binge watching your channel. Cheers

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Nice! They go for about 4500 to 10k depending on the condition and how many flashes.
