Hi,
Prodigi is a good machine but not very strong for large and heavy production

hatplus

thank for your info.

You are welcome!

You are welcome! But if you are buying it for low production, its OK. The stitch quality is very good.

hatplus

do you have a experience with prodigi?
What do mean by heavy production?
Please let me know
thank you

I'll have to disagree with this statement.

From day one the prodigi machine is far from very good...IMO....it may just be our machine but compared to a tajima it is about 1/2 the quality.

We have ran owned one of their single heads now for 6 years and I will NEVER buy another one......maybe they are better now...but at the ISS show in Long Beach I seen some of the same issues on the display "new" models as we experience on a daily basis with the our single head.

I would rather buy a 10 year old tajima, buradan, swf than a brand new prodigi.

These are just my opinions and I am not getting paid for my statements.

Hope my advice saves you some headaches.

thank you for your advice.

I have some questions.

do you have an experience with tajima machine?

How would you be able to tell us prodigi is only 1/2 quality than tajima?

what kinds of problems did you have with machine?

Can you be more specific?

It is very important for us because I need to make a final decision

by this week.

thank you

I think but I can not confirm this...but I think the main stitch quality problems that the prodigi produces is because of the computerized part of it...the main control panels and the electronics are what I believe are much cheaper technology than what you will find with a tajima. The reason I believe this is when you run the exact same design on both machines the prodigi will not line up but the tajima will. Mechanical part wise they basically (knocked-off) the tajima but they use less quality parts than the tajima.

When I put the same logo on both machines....and run them.....you will see a definite difference in quality. Not saying the prodigi doesn't do an OK job on flats....but you will see a difference.

For hats....I would rather contract out and make a .25 on each cap then fight with the prodigi all day long and still end up with crap.

These are just my opinions based on the past 6 years.
