Default Looking this press from ebay, opinions?

**Looking to purchase a press from ebay, need some opinions**

Hey guys,

Am a newbie looking for a decent press within my budget and have stumbled accross this:

4 Color Screen Printing Machine Silkscreen * Top Offer* on eBay (end time 20-Nov-09 14:27:00 GMT)

At that price (£320), I concerned about the quality of the press. Has anyone here purchased from this place and if not, could you guys give me some essential questions / tech specs I should be asking about?

Thanks in advance guys!

Question Re: Looking this press from ebay, opinions?

like u i purchased a used press with all other equipment to go along with it (drye r etc..) and i was lucky in that i got a good deal, i got a 4color press and have had to up grade it to a 6 color ask your self! why are they selling it is it woreout, or are they upgradeing,what about shipping costs, the best advice anyone can give you is by the best brand you can afford. and are you sure you only need a 4 color what if somebody comes along with a big order for 5 or 6 colors, when you send them away you probley wont see them again i was lucky i picked mine up didnt have to have it shipped and also was able to inspect it before hand hope this helps

This is not necessarily a bad deal, but this particular press is very limited with what you'll be able to do. Sure it has 4 arms for 4 different colors, but it has no micro-registration. So either you can have 4 different 1 color designs on your press at the same time or you can have 1 4 color design. But this 4 color design (or 2,3 color design) has to be fairly simple. Because you have no precise way to line the screens up with one another. I guess it depends on your goal with design capability. But it's definitely a beginner's press.
