Need to Register?

I found this information in a magazine and was wondering if anyone has tried it.
Here is the website:
Morantz Screen-A-Print

Looks like a pretty good idea. . .but does it really work. . .? And it probably costs an arm and a leg. . .

I applied for more information anyways. . .

I think it goes on sale at times for under 3 thousand dollars.

I owned one for a few years. Add a drying table to the side and you can do 50+ prints an hour with it.

2color prints are not as easy as you might think. You end up having to use coins taped to the screen to register it. Even though you can prereg on the exposure unit it doesnt always work out perfect for butt registration.

I would say it is a good press for one color print jobs in the 0-200 quantity range. Personally I didnt do 2 color jobs of more then a dozen or two.

The one down side really is that you have to use 22x22" OD screens. Not too many places carry them but they can be found. The aluminum frames are expensive ( $50-60+ shipped). Pocono carries wood ones for like $25-30 shipped.

If you are just a hobby printer, small production, or have very limited space I would recommend it. Just keep in mind that you are going to be mostly a one color capable printer.

If you have any more questions just ask.
