I'm upgrading most of my equipment, press, dryer, flash, exposure unit, etc. I'm pretty much trying to get it all in one place to get good pricing and save on shipping costs. Right now I've pretty much narrowed it down to Vastex and Anatol. I'm leaning towards Vastex because of the fact that the press and dryer have a little room for upgrade. Anyone have any strong feelings one way or another that might sway or convince me?

I've been very satisfied with Workhorse. Last year purchased a 6 x 6 after printing on a 4 x 4 for 10 years. This year added two additional heads to the printer and purchased a second size set of interchangeable pallets. They're not the cheapest available, but quality equipment.

We Have a vastex 6/6, holds registration great and it moves where you want it to setting up the registration. Also love the rubber coated platens.
We have their dryer and registration table system, everything works like it is supposed to and no surprises.. John

Yup. And, in case you insist on leaving a platen under a flash, the platens are made of steel and are guaran-damn-teed not to warp. The micros, being spring-loaded, are the best in the business, along with those by Antec.

I bought a slightly used 6/4 and upgraded it to an 8/4.
