Traditional pneumatic screen printing presses rely on air compressors, which can cause issues like air leaks, moisture buildup, and high maintenance costs. The Anatol VOLT, the industry’s first all-electric screen printing machine, transforms your print shop by eliminating compressed air. It offers unmatched screen printing energy efficiency, precision, and ease of use. This article highlights the key Anatol VOLT advantages and why it’s the future of pneumatic vs electric screen printing. Discover the VOLT. 

We have seen this machine transform shops, and make production simpler and more efficient. Recently we had the pleasure of catching up with a phenomenal printer-John from Supertight Print Club, and he shared his thoughts on why this machine is such a game-changer: 

“The VOLT is an all-electric, high quality automatic shirt printing monster. It’s quiet. It’s intelligent. It’s efficient. While the industry keeps pushing processes that churns out artificial and cheap-looking results, Anatol doubled down to refine the process that remains second to none.  As a seasoned printer and heavily invested in the craft- I appreciated that.  The VOLT isn’t built to reinvent automatic screen printing; but it definitely made its own lane to modernize and perfect it.” 

Our engineering revolves around what screen printers need for the highest quality results, and feedback like this makes it clear to us that the countless hours of research and development are well worth it to serve our customers and make their operation more effective.

Now, lets take a look at some of the specific reasons as to why the VOLT stands out in the world of screen printing: 

1. No Air Compressor Required

The electric screen printing press eliminates the need for an air compressor, delivering significant benefits for your shop:

  • Cost Savings: Avoid the expense of purchasing, maintaining, and repairing air compressors, a major operational cost.
  • No Risk of Damage: Eliminate moisture or oil contamination that can ruin prints, ensuring consistent quality
  • Quieter Operation: The VOLT’s all-electric design reduces noise, creating a comfortable work environment—ideal for shops prioritizing a quiet workspace.

2. Consistent and Reliable Performance

The Anatol VOLT uses advanced servo-driven indexers and print heads for superior precision, setting it apart in pneumatic vs electric screen printing comparisons:

  • Precise Movements: Servo motors provide repeatable, accurate movements for flawless printing, even on multi-color or high-detail designs.
  • No Pressure Fluctuations: Unlike pneumatic presses, the VOLT maintains steady squeegee pressure and smooth operation, preventing downtime from air leaks or pressure drops.
  • Improved Registration: Enhanced accuracy ensures perfect alignment for complex prints, boosting quality and customer satisfaction.

3. Screen Printing Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

The VOLT is designed for screen printing energy efficiency, helping shops reduce operational costs while maintaining high performance:

  • Up to 50% Less Energy: The VOLT consumes significantly less power than traditional pneumatic presses, cutting electricity bills.
  • No Continuous Compressor Use: Without a constantly running air compressor, you save energy and reduce equipment wear.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: Fewer moving parts and no pneumatic components mean less downtime and reduced repair expenses.

4. Easier Setup and Maintenance

The all-electric screen printing machine simplifies setup and maintenance, making it ideal for busy print shops:

  • Plug-and-Play Operation: No complex pneumatic hoses, air dryers, or regulators—just plug in and start printing.
  • User-Friendly Interface: A 15” touchscreen with intuitive controls allows quick job setups, digital off-contact adjustments, and saved settings for repeat orders.
  • Long-Term Durability: Designed with minimal maintenance requirements, the VOLT ensures reliable performance for years.

Why the Anatol VOLT is the Future of Screen Printing

Pneumatic presses, long the industry standard, come with challenges like air leaks, moisture buildup, and constant maintenance that reduce productivity and increase costs. The Anatol VOLT advantages address these issues, offering a smarter, more efficient solution. Available in models S, M, L, and XL (6 stations/4 colors to 20 stations/18 colors), the VOLT suits shops of all sizes. Its servo-driven indexers, optional servo print heads, laser alignment, and Speed Clamps streamline operations. Printers worldwide praise the VOLT, with one user stating, “The VOLT optimizes production, allowing us to print large quantities faster. Our production has tripled compared to manual presses.” Another noted, “It’s quiet and extremely efficient, giving me more time to focus on my business.”
