Hello,

I am planning on purchasing a 4 Color 4 station press in the next several months and am wondering if people on this forum have much experience with the Riley Hopkins Win Series presses? I have used a much older RH machine and it was a real workhorse. I realize that the Win Series is the budget line, but that is really my price category. I am thinking about the RH WIN Series 4/4 and the Lil Buddy Dryer. Do people have any positive or negative reactions about the Lil Buddy dryer? Again, this is a hobby setup and am upgrading so I don't have a ton to spend. At the current time I am using an old Richardson 4 Color 1 station table press, and a Lawson Flash. I print out of my house but work at a Screen Shop during the day. So I have the option to flash dry and Cure shirts at work. I really would like to get a dryer though to cure at home and am hoping the Lil Buddy or something equal would work well. I am also look for 110 and not 220.
The Richardson works fine as am mainly doing 1 Color images so registration is not an issue, but would like to upgrade to a machine where I can do multi-Color designs with ease and not worry about registration.

thanks,
Todd

I use a Hopkins win series. It's a great press especially if your hobby goes to a full time job, it can still handle the work load.

the RH win series is a good press, I would advise you go with the 6 color though, 4 colors is not enough, if the design needs a flash, that kicks your color max to 3.

when I was first researching equipment, I was considering the 4 color as well, and then someone gave me this same advice and I took it...good thing too, as one of my first jobs was a 5 color with a flash
