Mark,
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay from Dixie.
Hi Chuck,
Dixieart has them for $369 with free shipping. They may charge sales tax for those who live in Louisiana (which I don't). I think Mike is right too. Although I don't recall the brand name for the ones in Micro Mark, they look identical to Artograph.

Chuck,
Artograph makes those for Micro-Mark. It says that in the description about them in the catalog and the web site. ![Wink [;)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif)

Mark,
I saw the ones by Micromark and to me, looked like the Artograph. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay from Dixie. I have done business with them in the past and have really been satisfied. I am going to have to give this spray booth decision some real thought. I just moved and I don't really have a place to spray in my basement like I did in my old house. Everything is finished off. I had been using a large cardboard box but now, I don't want the spray going everywhere. Keep me posted.
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
I didn't look at the Paasche. To be honest, I didn't even know they made a spray booth. The only ones besides Artograph that I looked at was one by Testors, and ones sold by Micromark. There may have been a Badger one too, but I can't remember.
Not knowing much about spray booths (except that they are healthier than spraying without one in a small room, which I had done), the main reasons I picked Artograph were the price and size. Dixieart had a hard-to-beat price, including free shipping, and the 1530 was bigger than the others I looked at. Since some of my models can be on the large size, bigger is better.
I'll let you know how it works (and how many filters I go through!).

Greetings,
I have been wanting to get a spray booth so any threads on this topic get my attention. It appears, unless you want to build one yourself, there are only two choices. The Artgraph and the Pasche. I am kind of interested in the Artgraph. I checked the Dixieart price and noticed that it is around $360.00. 'The filters also seem very expensive. I don't mind spending the money on an initial investment but it seems like the filters will get ya.
Was wondering if anyone who purchased the Artgraph also looked at the Pasche. Would like to know your thoughts on why you went with Artgraph. Also, did you do any research on the filters? Was wondering how much life you can expect to get out of them and are there any chaeper alternative for the filters. The descriptions talk about a pre-filter, do you really need them?
Thank in advance for any responses.
Chuck

Well,I answered my own question. Should of waited to put the thing together before asking it! The top is nothing but clear acylic, so my swing lamp with a good bulb should do the trick. No place to hand an interior flourescent light anyways.

Just got my Artograph 1530 a couple of days ago. It took less than two weeks after placing the order with Dixieart for mine to come. Maybe I was just lucky; I was planning on it taking longer. I'll be setting mine up this weekend, so hopefully I can start with some serious painting ![Big Smile [:D]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif) .
Magic8796, have a question for you. What did you do about lighting? I was hoping the instructions would talk about some type of interior lighting, but there's no mention whatsoever. I don't know if it's taboo because of safety concerns, but I was hoping for a little more light that the swing arm I have. I was thinking about mounting a flourescent light inside. When it comes to painting, the more light the better! Let me know of any other comments you have about the spray booth too.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for the report Mark.
Artograph makes some pretty good products.
I have one of their Super AG-100 opaque projectors.

Artograph spray booth review
Posted by Anonymous
on Sunday, April 4, 2004 5:39 PM
Just got my Artograph 1530 Spray Booth and thought I'd give some feedback. I ordered it from Dixie Art and although the customer service was very good the delivery time was slow. It took 30 days to arrive. Something about making them to order. Any way, when it got here I quickly assembled it. Although it only took a few minutes, I did have to take off a the top piece and re-assemble. The pictures in the instructions are not very clear. The booth has really worked well, just a little louder than I expected. I don't vent it outside and have had no fume problems. Hope this helps anyone interested in this booth.
