You might want to do a quick search of these forums looking for which press to buy. Most will tell you to get a 6-color press (I would) and if you're just getting started, or if you're trying to upgrade from a crappy press, to look on the classifieds here, at screenprinters.net, on Craigslist, and if you have a local screenprinting supply vendor, ask them to let you know of any shops going under or replacing equipment. Look for a used, cared for name-brand press such as Workhorse, Vastex V-2000, M&R, Hopkins BWM, or Antec Legend. Don't succumb to the lure of cheap crappy presses on Ebay. You're gonna have to spend $2500 and up on a decent used 6-color press.
