Default Need help from press a print member

My husband and I are starting a small screen printing business and we decided to start small with some used equipment. We bought an used PRESS A PRINT screen printer, (yes, now I know that we will probably be outgrowing this very quickly) But anyway, we are not about to pay the $10K for the Press A Print membership privilege to be a part of their team for support, etc.

We have found other ways of getting around some equipment, but we need the Pin registrations for the screens. Was wondering if anyone could help us out with purchasing them or if anyone has any ideas of what we can use.

We also bought a QM7 pad printer from them and the person we bought them from said everyone was included but was not true. We are missing a few items, that are very important to using the machine.

1. The training DVD's from both the screen printer and QM-7 pad printer.
2. The QM-7 pin registration table (it is impossible to print 3D objects without it)
3. The QM-7 contact frame (the unit required for holding plates during exposure).
4. The initial plates themselves that are included in the QM-7 package for emulsion/ image development

IF ANYONE CAN HELP, we really appreciate your kindness.

I haven't found anywhere that sells just the pin registrations, but you can buy the whole screen (with pins attached) from Printa (www.printa.com).

The rest I can't help with...I too have a pre owned pad printer and not of the tapes were included, so I'm not even sure where to start.

Hope this helps a little!
