I've had an Anatol Titan in my classroom (I teach high school graphics) for about five years now. It has been such a fantastic machine for us! I hope it treats you well.
That's awesome and thanks for sharing! Ours is finally setup and it's great. Can't wait to put it to use. I sure it'll sure us well. Such an nice upgrade for us.
Feels good to give this channel its 100th LIKE!!! Good job man!!
Thanks, bro!!!
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 i hope you become the true path to my screen printing and graphic designs dreams.
@@alfanydiaz8095 Thanks! All we can do is try.
So glad to see your company growing. I just discovered your channel a couple of months ago and I really enjoy watching your videos. You have done a great job showing the actual labor involved in running a screen printing shop. Definitely not a 9 to 5, M-F job but running your own company is a 24-7 venture. While other channels I've seen want to promote their channel by telling how much money can be made by running your own shirt business, you make it real and evident that it is not easy but is a labor of love. If it's not your passion, it'll never succeed. My first job out of high school (1987) was at a screen printing shop and I loved it. Been doing it ever since. Eagerly awaiting the video of you firing that thing up and making your first print. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Thanks Steve! I really appreciate that. It's definitely a labor of love. Can't say we'll reach millionaire status any time soon screen printing, but money isn't everything. We get to work, for the most part, on our own schedule. It is a lot of hard work and can be stressful, but I couldn't be happier doing what we do for a living. That's awesome. I think those who really enjoy it stick with it and those that aren't willing to put in the work or aren't patient tend to get out pretty quick. Working on the video now of it up, so keep an eye out for that!
Lots of work, but in a minute you're be back rolling all them shirts out, can't wait to see you use it, again Congratulations! Thanks for sharing and Stay Blessed
Definitely worth it though! :) Thanks, Denise!
Back in 2000 when I started printing we had 3 14 color 3 station Anatol presses. They were good and ahead of their time. They said they were so fast that they needed 3 stations. You could have two loaders and one puller or visa versa. Most shops stick with M&R so right now I run a 14 color gauntlet 3. Awesome to see they are still around.
Dang, that's awesome! Wish I could have seen it. Seems like, to me, their still ahead of their time.
Looks like a great choice. So excited for you guys!
Thank you! We couldn't be happier with our choice.
Looks like you did your homework Matt. Yeah young man like yourself should have a good future.
Thank you!!! It's a bright one. :)
stoked for you man! Cant wait to keep watching
Thanks! Recording today's progress as well and I'll try and get that up tomorrow or Friday.
that is so AWSOME I can’t wait til my ROQ gets here soooo happy for you guys #printlife
Thank you! Can't wait to hear about the ROQ.
When will your ROQ be here? We’ve been running our new ROQ for about a month and it’s awesome!
Cory Lindsey I’m thinking the last week of March
BAG WEAR which model did you go with if you don’t mind me asking? We got the ROQ You 8 color 12 station with two Evolution flashes and the PRU system. The PRU has been the biggest improvement for us, the speed of setting up jobs is incredible.
Cory Lindsey I won the ROQ YOU at ISS Long Beach
Great video guys. Can't wait to see it up and running. Many questions to come since we are in the process to automate with the VOLT. Thanks for the time Mikey.
Thank you! Feel free to ask away once I get all trained up and get some prints under my belt.
I have a Titan M 8/6 that we got last May. I can relate to the pushing and pulling the pallets around. We had a borrowed forklift that was leaking hydraulic fluid everywhere and a pallet jack that wouldn't lift. I can also relate to having kids playing around my shop.
Hey, Ben! Hahah, yeah, when your tolls and funding is limited, you definitely have to get creative. It sure was a workout, and luckily the kiddos didn't get in the way... MUCH. It was a good experience, something I wouldn't want to do everyday... like moving.
Congrats to your new equipment, great job, I'm sure probably everyone wish came in the box one guy who assemble the press 😁
Hahaha! Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Get that press jack up as high as you can get it. The higher the better. I'm using thick square tubing under the feet to get at least 3 extra inches in height. It makes it easier to get under the press to clean or do maintenance, not to mention printing so you don't have to bend your back too much
You're absolutely right about that! Great tip!
GREAT!!!!! So happy for you. You So Deserve!!! I've been following you for a while and has never been disappointed. I have learned so much from your channel as well as other screen printers that I follow. CAM from Print Life this is were i was first introduced to the Anatol. As a result, I have purchased the Tornado 6/4. I am still in the learning phase. but I am hopefullllllllll as I have GREAT TEACHERS as well as yourself. What a Come UP!! SOULDEEP is SOUL-PROUD
Thanks! I really appreciate that. Really means a lot.
Love your video! Love that you're making it happen in a small space. Manny helped assemble my Horizon Mini in a very tiny California garage. (I also promised him 90% of the royalties if my video went viral haha.) Can you tell me how to get in touch with him? He moved away from California several years ago and I lost touch. I have a repair that I'm considering doing on my own and I was thinking I could ask him a couple of questions before I start. I called Anitol but they want me to talk to a tech in Poland. I'd much rather talk to Manny.
awesome, hope you buy a few more of these in a few months haha.
Hahaha! That would be awesome.
Damn I can't wait to see you work that 😍. God bless your hustle bro. #T-shirtprinting
Thank you! I can't wait either. Almost there.
nice video matt press looks amazing well deserved you should be proud
Thank you! We're proud and I couldn't stop looking at it in the shop.
Nice..... we considered the Anatol Titan before going with our M&R Diamondback E.... looks nice, enjoy the electric print heads, they are nice to operate
Thanks! We had looked into the Diamondback E. Was a little pricier.
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen Yeah that was initially the case for us to... but, Johnny at Midwest Sign & Screen Printing Supply Co. gave us a killer deal and it ended up being about the same price including the triloc system. Very happy for you guys
@@printedstitches7480 That is a great deal! Thanks! I appreciate it.
Congrats! Fun process eh? :)
Thanks! It's a lot of work, but definitely a project a wake up excited about.
Thats AWESOME...
Thanks, Joe!!
Keep up the good work. Did you ever explain why you chose anatol over others?
Congratulations on your new equipment
Thank you! I did in our live video from this past Monday. To name a few off the top of my head, intuitive to use, customer services has been great, lift up head, and reasonable pricing.
I think a dog has to get some royalty as well.
lol! His royalties is being spoiled.
Right on, congrats! Game changer for sure. Just curious, how come you didn’t go with the volt? I’ve had mine for a couple months now and it’s been blowing my mind. So smooth and quiet. No more compressor and chiller. So stoked I moved from blue to RED❤️
That's awesome! Congrats! I wanted to retain the compressor in the shop for air tools for personal projects down the road. It doesn't use that much air. The heads are electric, and has a servo indexer. The only difference really is that the lift is air as well as the heads. To me, there's just something cool about the sound of the air lift, and I tend to take things in steps when it comes to business purchases. So who knows... down the road we may upgrade to a volt. :)
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen Yup can see how you can use some air in the shop. Use this if you want, but I couldn’t handle how loud the beep was so I wrapped it with a coozie to muffle the sound. Soo much better. 🤙🏽
@@kylemaligro It's a little on the loud side, but we probably need to keep it loud because the Shop Gnome has the tendency to get close to the press and makes me nervous. She crawled under our last press and lucky wasn't hurt too bad.
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen right on. Makes sense.
You gonna need a bigger dryer pretty soon to keep up what that beast!!
Hahaha, and a bigger shop. ;)
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 Yeah lol, you are pretty tight in there. We are facing the same dilemma. Would like to add a second auto to the shop but don't have room for it currently :(
@@senadzenkovic2483 I feel you. We're happy with our space though and are trying to keep our overhead down. We have future plans to buy property and build a shop / house.
looking good
Thank you!
Congrats man!, how much was your machine? I'm thinking of upgrading
Thank you!!! Email me matt@mikeydesigns.com
I’m SooOoOoo Jealous! For some reason I thought ANATOL did not need any Air. . Looking good guys !
This is an ASE press which uses Air to Lift, Servo to Index and Electric to print. The Anatol Volt needs no air at all.
Thanks, Rhy!!! Senad has got it! The Titan is more of an entry level press that's easier on the wallet. So it uses some air. They do have all air models which are that much more affordable.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 with the capabilities of this press, I would hardly call it entry level :) its an amazing machine! Heck 10 years ago you would have to spend 70k+ on a press to get servo or electric features.
@@senadzenkovic2483 You're absolutely right! :) Its definitely a step up for us.
Super excited for you man. If i go automatic im probably gonna get a anatol as well. My biggest problem with it is i really dont like red. lol
We can powdercoat any color you want just $500 more
@@michaelmerritt3996 REALLY!?
So like you can coat it with black for $500? Is that the entire machine?
LOL! I hear ya! For me, it's about how the machine works. If it makes my job easier, it could be purple. :)
@@danielmullins572 Yep. Are you talking to a rep over here at Anatol yet?
@@michaelmerritt3996 no not yet im probably a year out. I may be in the market for another manual press though. Do you do custom paint on the manual presses as well. If so same price?
Waiting for first trial
You and me both!
How wide is your shop?
It's 1,000 sq ft including the office. I haven't measured it. If I get a moment I'll have to take a look.
What the diameter of that press? Looks like 14.5 ft.
It's about that. Good guess. I'll measure it once it's finished.
Actually, the diameter is 12'3" with screen loaded. Have you had a chance to speak with your Anatol rep?
@@michaelmerritt3996 About the size?
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 No just in general. If you want more info let us know.
@@michaelmerritt3996 Thanks, Mike for your help!
