I had a RH 4/1 for a few years and when it came time to up grade I went with the Anatol Lightning 6/6 (Sadly it looks like the Lightning is no longer available). I went with the base color. I have zero complaints with the Anatol, it hold registration extremely well and having the side clamps, aluminum platens and laser all standard is awesome! I've printed a few thousand shirts on it and it still works like new. If you're looking into Anatol go through their sight and work with an Anatol rep! They have been great to work with an usually inform me if there is a sale or deals because they know I am in the process of upgrading other equipment. I recently purchased an Anatol Solutions dryer which sped up my production. #teamanatol
Yeah, it seems to just be the tornado and thunder now. I got mine through a rep and it was a very easy process. Already thinking about upgrading some of my other equipment with Anatol.
Been wondering your overall thoughts. Looks like a fantastic press! I have the RH 4/1....sure wish I had gone 4/2 but oh well. I would say, while I like printing on my RH, I agree with you, there are some quirks. I still feel like one arm is crooked, even though they sent me a new one. It must be on the base of the unit. And the XY reg just doesn't quite feel like it's enough. Takes a long time to register. Still consider myself a newbie or sorts. Another great video Josh!
I hear ya. I've had things on a RH break over time but they're usually pretty good about sending you a replacement part. Having the extra Z axis for off contact is like the best thing in the world haha. I remember before I would have to manually adjust it with a wrench, but being able to just turn a knob saves me so much time.
I currently use a Riley Hopkins 250 4x4 press. it was a good entry level press. I bought the kit which came with ink, chemicals, flash, exposure and a few other items. I don't know if it is the best there is but at the time it was what I could afford to get. I still use it for now.
M&R Chameleon hands down... Half the printheads have rear clamps Half have side clamps... You can set up multiple sleeve prints on 1 screen and shift it over with rear clamps... You can set up multiple left breast prints on 1 screen and shift it up with side clamps...
Cool video! 🙌
😂 yes, amazing 👏🏿 it's been a while, but I've been watching your videos 5 now to catch up 🎉🎉🎉
Lightning owner here -- not very tall, and I absolutely agree with your con.
the side clamps are awesome for sure

@@joshisterrific oh man, that is so enticing!!! That's for your review and just talking about it in general.

That's pretty close to what I had except I only had 2 stations. Those 2 extra stations really help with speed haha.
Engagement! I have a Hopkins 150 and already dream of upgrading one day but I need find more reasons to print before that happens.
@@koolaid1445 I was in that exact situation, and then I had friends asking me to print their band shirts.
M&R Chameleon hands down...
Half the printheads have rear clamps
Half have side clamps...
You can set up multiple sleeve prints on 1 screen and shift it over with rear clamps...
You can set up multiple left breast prints on 1 screen and shift it up with side clamps...
