Many thanks for the suggestion. We have seen an old pneumatic press 30" x 54" which is about the right size for us but would prefer a newer model or even a bigger model. They are like gold dust!

Thought it might be of interest as we were contacted by this company over the past week and just received pricing information today. I only have a guide price as something this size will take a bit of space to include in a container shipment.

Well thanks again for considering us. We will be printing Chromoluxe and Unisub panels so we need a decent one preferably with the pneumatics.

Interested to hear how much one of those presses would be but I can see operator fatigue kicking in pretty quickly unless you're Arnold Schwarzenegger! :-) I guess pneumatic is the way to go.

Hi again Justin. Hope you are well.
Prices vary depending upon condition for a used press but for a decent new pneumatic press allow between £8,000 - £14,000 new. It's worth paying the extra if you can stretch to it, to avoid the user stress of a manual press. They don't come cheap!

Meaning the manual ones shown by Martin but I guess if that's the range for auto presses then the Xpres at £4k is good value :-)

The manual press would be considerably cheaper (and avoids gym membership)! I'd expect the price to be under £1,500 ex vat (allow a bit more for delivery costs though).

I saw the new Adkins 750 at Xpres and it is a very neat machine.

We want bigger than 400x600. The large press you know of Chunk is certainly of interest to us if it's in a good condition. Thanks
I will PM details over.
