In today’s competitive screen printing industry, investing in high-quality equipment is more than a necessity—it’s a critical strategic move. New Anatol automatic presses, conveyor dryers, and other innovative machines can boost your shop’s efficiency, quality, and output. But did you know that the U.S. government offers a powerful tax incentive that can significantly lower the net cost of these essential investments?
We’re talking about the Section 179 Deduction of the IRS Tax Code. This incentive is the perfect tool for small to medium-sized business owners looking to upgrade their production capabilities.

What Makes Section 179 a Game-Changer for Printers?

Normally, when a business purchases expensive equipment, it must deduct the cost gradually over several years through depreciation. Section 179 offers a different approach: it allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software in the year it is bought and put into service.
This means instead of waiting years for the full tax benefit, you get a substantial deduction immediately, drastically improving your current-year cash flow. Section 179 was created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to invest in themselves and grow.

Why Anatol Equipment Qualifies Perfectly

Equipment from Anatol Equipment Manufacturing Co.—including our cutting-edge VOLT All-Electric Automatic Presses, reliable Vulcan Gas Conveyor Dryers, and efficient Comet Light Flash Cure Units—is typically fully eligible for a Section 179 deduction.

For screen printing shops, this translates to:

  • Immediate Deduction of Major Purchases: You can write off the full cost of a new automatic press—a significant expense—in year one, rather than depreciating it over 5 to 7 years.
  • Incentive to Upgrade: The deduction encourages you to invest in the latest Anatol technology, such as the energy-efficient VOLT press, sooner rather than later. The quicker you upgrade, the faster you enjoy both the tax savings and the productivity gains.
  • Applies to New and Used Equipment: If you are purchasing used equipment (as long as it is new to your company), it may still qualify for the Section 179 deduction.

Real Savings Example: How Much You Could Deduct.

Key Section 179 Numbers for 2025.
While specific limits are subject to change, here are the key figures to keep in mind for the 2025 tax year:

Metric 2025 Limit (Inflation-Adjusted) What It Means for Your Shop
Maximum Deduction $1,250,000 The maximum amount you can deduct. Your Anatol press or dryer could be fully expensed up to this amount.
Spending Cap (Phase-Out Threshold) $3,130,000 If you spend more than this on equipment, the deduction begins to decrease dollar-for-dollar. This ensures the incentive primarily benefits small and mid-sized businesses.
Deadline December 31, 2025 The equipment must be purchased and put into service by midnight on December 31st to claim the deduction for the current tax year.

 

Timing is critical! Equipment must be purchased, delivered, and operational by the end of the calendar year to qualify. Given potential shipping and installation timelines for large machinery, do not wait until the last minute.
