Re: What is a Good Press for Process Work Yes, I agree with previous poster; you definately need a press w/ micro registration. Also, look for a good qualtity press, one that will not rock or move when you print on it, and also metal parts as opposed to plastic. Best thing is to go to a show & actually "feel" the press. Look for things like a smooth movement in the print head & platen carousels. If you can afford side clamps, those are much better at holding screens in tight registration than rear clamps, simply because more area of the frame is being held on 2 sides, rather than just the rear of the frame. Also, use metal (aluminum) frames; the cost is now pretty close to wood frames, but they don't warp & come apart at the joints, and last forever. Also, mesh can be stretched tighter on a metal frame, which for process color work, really makes a difference. Don't cheap out on your frames; you'll be glad you spent the extra $$$ down the road. |
