I'm looking for a colour packer

[hellraiser6662]

Yep I've been using flites for a while now and they are great machines. But for colour packing I don't think they are the best but for everything else no probs. So what are the goto machines for colour packing. I'm looking at the new r12 ego, the stingray or swashdrive or if any thing else.. got to be easy to get hold of in the UK.

For me it has to be my hawk thunder or my god old RW packs like a dream.

Yea I've got RW 3.5 and got it on carts perhaps do they do a 4mm throw?

[acink]

I would say contact Dale as he would build you a 4mm I had him build me a brass machine with a 4mm as a liner,I use my 3.5 with standard set up and like it better for colour at 3.5vol and it puts it in very smooth packs fusion gamma green in one pass and heals solid and stays bright in the skin where other machines just dont put it in as nice for me.Did all this piece with my RW

neotat vivica 4.2

Anything direct drive. I use an FK Irons Direkt on the daily.

Thunder or Stingray. Both killer packers

I constantly use my HM Direct Drive, HM la pinta or my Halo, all more than capable of putting solid colours and blacks in. I know of 3 suppliers in the UK that carry HM machines but even better to buy direct.

I'll put in my vote for the Swashdrive Gen 8. I use the type that you can change the give on, and it is an amazing machine for lining to packing color to soft B&G. It has the power to do it all, and is nice and light (I really want to get the newer model with the brushless motor, but saving my money for the Brush when it comes out instead haha).
