Building a 4-Color Micro-Adjusting Screen Printing Press 

Your platen base is way to far forward. Which is making your platen to far back. You do not want the screen holder to rest on the platen. The little disc is for your off contact.

Wow! I'm so late to this party. I'm just getting into printing, so watching a few vids but in this one your board needs to sit on top of the button/nut on top of the main arm. That will allow you to adjust the height between the base board and the screen. Thanks for the post we all learn from "real" events

i packed up the non neck end of the plattern with washers to make it level when the screen comes down

You've done well, & I'm sure you'll sort the bugs out. Let us know how you you did when you get that far...YayaH !

i know this was posted 6 years ago.. but moxy, how did you fix the end part with the off contact? i just bought this second hand (installed) and i have no idea

i have the same machine. i have problems registering more than 1 screen. I want to print white underbase. I find when i screw the screen clamp down the registration changes. Have you managed to get good registration?

The Arm of that station is to short, usually the registration Brackets that holds the screen are on either side, which there for allows the screen to set flat on the garment or print board when registering.

I’m looking to getting this machine soon I want to know if there are any issues with it and if it’s a good idea

hello im having the same problem with the little and im going insane how did you adjust it ??

I'm sorry to say this but this machines are a pain and micro regs are prety useless and hard to adjust in real production situation. Really nice video. I'm just talking about equipment. I made some money with one like this but it is painful when you get a multiple color job.

hi did you need to bolt this down to the stand or the table

Thanks for sharing this.. I've put together a similar press but it didn't have micro adjustments. My plan was to upgrade to a more expensive press for micro adjustment but I have seen one like yours for sale and it's a lot cheaper. I was wondering how good the micro registration work, do you use it?

Great video thanks for posting. How's the machine holding up? There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews online on the quality of the press.

I stole the front hub of my neighbors car and made one of these.....hehe. not really, actually I got an old hub lyin around. Think I finally found a use for the little guy, a t-shirt machine wohoo.. I don't think all those adjustments are actually needed because you register and attach your positive to your screens one by one making sure they all line up with your platen and then number your screens and your positions on your shirt machine so you can get each screen back in proper order after you burn them. Any fine adjustment can be done via the screen mount clamps but if you number them all as I said, when you wash them out and remount them do them one by one with your pattern still on your platen. viola... no need for all those silly adjustment knobs. If you watch the way the Filipinos do it, they make a flat wood mount with an angle iron top bracket with alignment holes and stops. The pattern is taped to the platen and each frame is lined up and the positive mounted for burning using the pattern on the platen. After burning and washing the screen automatically lines back up due to the mount pin and stops. The stopss are just threaded bolts so fine adjustments can be made but if you are careful, all your screens will line up perfect with no adjustment needed afterwords. I like it due to much less space needed to do multi colors and it can be stood up against the wall and stored using little space. Now your trying to picture what I described and how it works and you want to see an example, so here you go. Look at how simple it is, no big whirly gig shirt machine needed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0kKWg1Jn0-E.html Here is a great design done the same way by the same guy. The other video is more of a demo and this one is more a production design that looks a lot better but you don't see the mount frame design until later in the video so check out the other one first: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkjG5UxHQDA.html Here is the same type setup on a long table for production with 4 stations: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3O5L2h9ENCc.html
