Default Advice for press and dryer to buy???

Hey guys. I am trying to start a screen printing company. And i really need some advice and a press and a dryer. I have been looking at a Reiley Hopkins 4/4 with micro registration($2000.). And a Little Buddy Conveyor Dryer($2000). Those are both in my price range and would like some feed back. If anything is better quality for around the same price let me know. Thanks guys all of you have been great for advice for starting.

No personal experience, but from what I have read, the Riley Hopkins presses have a pretty good bang for the buck.

I haven't heard anything on the conveyor.

Since you are getting a 4/4 press, you should also consider a flash dryer.

Good luck.

Yeah, make sure to get a flash also. I have the Hopkins 6/4 and its great. Also have the Little buddy which works great, except the belt isn't very wide so it takes a little long to get the shirt on the dryer if you have a large print. Silkscreeningsupplies.com has a ton of different start up packages. I'm not sure if you have an exposure unit or wash out booth, but you will need that also.
