Vastex recently announced improvements to its V-1000 manual screen-printing press. The V-1000, which was designed for new printers who have limited budgets, now features a new adjustment knob for leveling the screen from front to back. A redesigned screen clamp now has sight slots that are intended to improve the operator’s ability to see while making off-contact and leveling adjustments. Additionally, spring lifts are now in three positions and can accommodate heavier screens. The V-1000 also features a floating head design with three-point bearing lock, as well as microregistration, six-way screen leveling, and steel platens with rubber tops.
