Screen Printer

MPM has worked fantastic for us.

A couple of points: * Just a nit, 'screens' fell in disuse 10-15 years ago. Old habits die slowly don't they? * Yes, DEK and MPM each hold about 50% of the solder paste printer market and about 4 or 5 others hold the rest.

Bill Axler... I worked with a Bill Axler before... Like 2 months ago haha. After running DEK for 3.5 years and then MPM I was partial to DEK, but honestly I'd have to go with the MPM printers.

I agree with the frazzled one, look at EKRA. We have been running X5, X5 Pro and an X5HSP little to no issues (mostly self induced) in the last 6 years. I'm partial to the X5 Pro. Additionally the Tech support is top notch.

Yes have to agree been using Ekra for 5 years now support is great. i run 2 shifts 5 days a week we have had very little trouble with it

www.atma.com.tw ATMA has a very good cost performance. Some of our supplier use their machine in touch panel and membrane switch field. FYI

Sir: You did not state what kind of screen printer, all the others assumed it was for SMT. We are dealers for ATMA line of screen printing and aux. eqpt. They make a first class, well made press, and are probably the largest in the world now. Over 4,000 units shipped last year. Based in Taiwan with over 25 years of production and export to US. Please look at website: http://www.atma-usa.com and let me know which model you think would be best. I can then supply further specs, literature and a quote.
