HI, SRoque sold 95 Machines in 2 years in India..It's sold rock and very fast

Printficient

So what did you end up with?

S.Roque is a good machine, but it is a knock-off of MHM, and I heard there is a dealer in the North East (USA) but lets get real, if there is something major broken can you speak Portugeese, I can't. It is safe to say that with M&R you
can get parts over night. and yes their Challenger III can print 20x28 and larger

Really, a knock off of MHM? Hardly, the Sroque is unique in every way. And Sroque is the second largest press manufacturer in the world and is celebrating their 30th year anniversary this year. Continuous. Correct me if I am wrong, but MHM has NOT been operating continuously since their inception, i.e. sold and re-sold, moved etc... A full compliment of Sroque parts are stocked in the U.S. and there is a network of certified technicians, many of which have been trained at the factory in Portugal, and I am one of them. With the exception of major steel components such as a press base, there are virtually enough parts in stock in the U.S. to build multiple machines from scratch, additionally, there are stock presses ready for install in stock in the U.S.

The base model SROQUE machines can print a standard image size of 18x26 (8 color or less) and any other machine over 8 color can print anywhere from 20x28 to 28x39. So if you want to compare a Challenger III, talk apples to apples, 28x39 is much larger than 20x28.

There was an earlier posting by Printficient that his only experience was with Sroque Ovals. I would inquire as to where that experience is from. Sroque is new to the North American market in past 2 years, and to my knowledge, there is not an oval in N.A. for anyone to have experience on. I personally have seen dozens of them in Europe ranging from 1990 - Present day models. There is nothing similar to them, and recommending a Precision is simply ridiculous! The NO Oval in the U.S. is about to change however!

If anyone would like a "real" machine breakdown, please either private or public I.M. regarding so. I would be more than happy to point out the differences.

Just FYI I work out of a shop with 2 M&Rs and 1 Sroque, and it will likely be 2 Sroques and 1 M&R soon!

MHM

Any questions as to the build quality of MHM Equipment or their track record may find the following link very useful, especially those who feel 'nobody really cares about MHM'. Outside of the US, MHM is the choice of Screenprinters in over 70 countries across six continents - just sayin :-) Hopefully readers will watch this and decide.

And just in case any readers would like to see where many of the innovative, time-saving features found on most modern presses originated from then here's another one. In particular, the fastest set-up system in the world is mentioned at 5.05 just in case there were any doubters.

Looks like Barnes is bored again...c'mon, if it wasn't for Barnes scoping the forums just wouldn't be the same.

I have had the pleasure of working on an 8color 10 stationYOU for the past few months and I must say it was one of the nicest and most user friendly presses out there. As far as service is concerened no you dont have to wait for someone to come from Potugal, maybe Colorado? Ryonet has been great to work with and have answers for every question, if the dont kn ow the answer they will ge back to with the it.


Check out the link above.

I have worked with many presses over the past 25 years the SROQUE YOU is a good one!
