Looking to buy a ATMA AT-800H/E Model AT-800H/E, 2000

[AmbientInks]

Our shop is looking to expand into going semi-auto with our poster printing. I'm unfamiliar with this brand, but it seems like people like them. Any thoughts or concerns I should be aware of? What do 10 year old ATMA presses normally go for? The one I'm considering is about $4,000. Good deal?

Thanks!

I would try to find an M&R Saturn if I were you. M&R makes great machines and they are located in the US so you get great service as well (Atma is in Taiwan). You might pay more but you get what you pay for.

are those the ones through thorton?

Atma is a good press. Ask Laura Stallions. We are just reconditioning a Saturn @ $7500

Yep, their through Thorton. Do you have any experience in dealing with them, or with that specific press? I just checked the ad again and it's $3,000, not $4,000.
