One of the most important reasons I decided to go with Anatol is the space-saving element of their automatics in comparison to some other manufacturer’s presses that we looked at. The ease of changeover and transition from manual to automatic was also another important selling point.
I have the Horizon-Mini 8/7 with a Rapid Wave flash.
For about two years now and I’m looking forward to many more!
It has a lot of cool features. The quick-release pallets, squeegees and flood bars are a really great time saving feature, they are easy to remove and don’t require any tools. The off-contact is another great feature of the press and was an important selling point for me. While doing research before my purchase, I looked at other manufacturer’s off-contacts and they did not have nearly as many settings as the Anatol press did.
From day 1, the Anatol salesman that I spoke to, Paul Schmidt, was very truthful and forthcoming. He didn’t downplay other manufacturer’s equipment and I really thought highly of his approach. When I asked him about a used Anatol press that I had found, he stood by it one hundred percent. I cannot say the same thing about some other manufacturer’s salesmen that I spoke to. Paul put me in contact with multiple people in my area that own Anatol equipment and that made me feel very confident that I was getting a quality press. The service technician that installed my press (Tom Splinter) did a fantastic job and even walked me through some of the features and operations. In my opinion, Anatol’s after-sale service has been number one in my book. They even went so far as to modify my machine’s safety-bar to accommodate my long arms. After about three months of having the press, we had a significant order come in and I was very pleasantly surprised how well the press held registration from shirt 1 to 1,500. Anatol Equipment rocks!
