Default small table top press w/micro?

I'm looking for a good, small press with micro reg. Maybe table top. 2 to 4 colors.
Could you point me to something good?

Screen Printing Equipment, T-Shirt Printers, Cap Printers, Dryers

I heard lots of good things about CAPS, so I just ordered a 4/4 press from them. They have 2 and 4 color table top/bench presses, so you might want to give them a try.

If you are only doing this as a hobby ok with the small table top--If you are thinking getting serious about it don't go small. At least a 4 color 4 station--but better yet 6 color 4 or 6 station to start with. You will be much money ahead.

Like I said if you are thinking of getting serious with it spend now.

My 2 cents worth

I agree with Dad; You will outgrow that quicker then you think if you're doing this anything more than a hobby.

I agree that if you can afford it now, spend the money on a pro floor press. However, dont discount the table top presses. I have a friend who bought the odessey press when he was starting out and he quickly made enough cash to buy a nice floor model 6/4 workhorse press and a conveyor dryer as well. there are more ways than one to skin a cat

I want to buy the floor press. But at this time I need a flash , exposure unit and a washout booth. Need to find the best way to get all of'em.

What about all-in one presses?

Listen 2 Daddy...haha...
Nah, I would agree though, spend the money on a good press if you plan on doing it for money. I will say, though the Workhorse Oddysey is a pretty solid table top...
