bigmax 166 Posted March 24, 2015 never done any "heatpressing". Afriend in the printing business Wwho also does a lott of signsand graphics gave me an INSTA press model 715. He said itt didn't work. Brought it tto my shop, lubricaled the bottom ram, swing away top and it all works. He didn't realize that air had to be connected to operate. Questtion is, the micro (limit) swittch is broken and when butttons are pressed, nothing happens. There is a red butttton on tthe air manifold when depressed, acttivatted the lower plattten. Anyone familuar enough with this product to advise. Seems to be a realy heavy dutty machine. Thanks in advance for any help ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 24, 2015 Here is the company, but I don't see anything for 715. There are repair kits for other models http://www.instagraph.com/# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted March 25, 2015 I came across 2 old insta presses that did not work. Turns out the fuse and fuse holder caps where missing. I thought, crap, how am I gonna replace these. (As they are older models) I called the company and what do ya know... they still carry parts and fixed me up! My total was like 20 bucks and I had to fill out a special credit card authorization form and fax back to them before they would accept a credit card and process my order. Kind of a pain in the @&* but got the parts and everything works! Start out by giving them a call! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much fraud out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
