just bought a Mike Metaxa! Anyone use them??

[Mikey]

So for the past few days i've been using my new Metaxa direct drive and i'm truly amazed by how well rounded it is! It put in smooth shades of grey with about a 2mm hang at 5v, Solid colour with an 11mg at 4v with about a 3.5mm hang, and it lines larger configurations with ease as well!
i have been having some issues with ink flow/ splatter when lining though.... Like Bishop said its usually resolved by adding a little more tension on the needle bar or an extra bend, but i'm not sure about my ink flow problem. I find that the ink does not flow as freely with my direct drives (both metaxa and Roy Richardson) as it does with my coil liners. I do find that this problem is slightly resolved when i slow the machine down a bit. Any thoughts??
Anyways, Mike Metaxa's machine has replaced my Mike Pike Shader as my daily driver for black work and colour. Very efficient, very smooth!
