LOW-COST GARMENT PRESS
INTRODUCED BY VASTEX
ALLENTOWN,
PA¾ Vastex has
introduced an all-new V-100 line of
low-cost tabletop screen printing presses from 1-to-4 stations and 1-to-4
colors that are purpose-built for garment printing, overflow printing, and
printing in restricted spaces such as spare rooms and mobile shops.
Quality
results are achieved by retaining critical components from the company's commercial
and industrial models: no-warp steel pallets, screen off-contact and level
adjustments, rotor detent for positive engagement of pallets, and three-point
bearing locks providing pinpoint registration of print-heads-to-pallets and allowing
all-heads-down printing.
Compared
with the company's commercial and industrial presses, V-100 presses are
characterized by lighter-duty construction, tabletop-only configuration,
omission of quick registration micros, limited pallet choices, increased use of
fasteners versus welds, and shipping of units disassembled in multiple cartons. Approximate assembly time is two to four
hours.
The
V-100-11 1-station, 1-color base model is expandable, allowing the addition of
individual pallet stations and print heads as needs grow.
The
V-100-44 model is configured as new with four pallet stations and four print
heads.
Units
with multiple stations and colors allow all-heads-down printing using screens
up to 21 in.
(50 cm) wide, maximizing productivity
when printing registered spot colors and process colors, or multiple one- and
two-color jobs simultaneously.
Options
include neck guides and rubber tops for the included pallets, and a variety of
specialized pallets for long sleeves, pant legs, caps, umbrellas, koozies and
other textiles and hard goods.
Other
Vastex equipment performance-matched to V-100 presses includes: VRS-Lite Pin Registration Systems,
E-100 Tabletop Screen Exposers,
D-100 Tabletop Conveyor Dryers
and DRI-CAB Screen Drying Cabinets
which can also serve as stands for tabletop equipment.
The
company also manufactures commercial-lines and industrial-lines of equipment encompassing
numerous models of screen printing presses,
infrared conveyor dryers,
flash cure units, exposing units, screen drying cabinets,
washout booths and
complete shops
packaged according to desired capacity, range of printing capabilities,
available floor space and budget.
