- In all honesty I really hear great things about how soft the v3 can be.. How does the halo compare? Is your give system the same as the dragonfly or is it a system of your own creation?
- Reason i ask is because your site simply states "Resistance Adjustment System" but doesn't really get into specifics.
- Are these more coloring machines? Or can they be really soft?
- Also does opening the give adjustment increase the throw? (I would imagine yes)
- Sorry to be so picky but 600 is a grip of money in these dark times.
Hey man. The machine Is $549 And the stroke wheels are 25 each. So for under $600 you get at least 2 strokes. (The machine comes with 1)

- our give system is different than most machines (or at least before we launcjed it )as the armature rides on a rail providing you better response with no armature play to the sides, up or down, unlike piston driven give that causes the armature to swing a bit.

The give spring won't wear out. We made sure to use the right gauge of wire. You can go from no give to full five with 2 turns.

Check out the work of Juan Salgado, Timothy Boor or Johan Finné basically all their latest black and grey work was done with the Spektra. You can really work those transitions without overworking the skin.

I recommend the 3.2mm it's the overall runner, ideal for black and grey. You can use for color and even liner. The 3.6mm is ideal for color and lining.

We almost sold out of Spektra at the Philly Show before we even finished setting up (if that means anything)

Machine are made in the USA with Maxon motor and we are always a call or email away in terms of customer service.
