After a couple of months of deliberation and reading threads on this forum, I finally made the leap into the screen-printing business! I decided to go with Ryonet’s Semi-Pro Kit at the time and was delighted to know that they were doing a major upgrade to the press. I have been reading about their old press and it wasn’t the most popular choice because of its lack of micro registration but I knew this kit was the best option for my budget (a little over $1,000).
All my concerns about the press quickly disappeared when I began to speak with an employee about the new Silver Press that would now be included in the kit. He mentioned the switch from steel to aluminum and gas shocks instead of the magnets that were used in the old kit. He told me about how the new press now holds registration much better than the old press. I was sold.
My kit came in about a week ago and I have just recently been able to do a couple of prints.
I am glad to say that everything they promised about the press is true! This press is SOLID! There is no comparison to the old one! The bearings used in the new press allow it to spin very smoothly and the gas shocks will keep your frames up with no problem. With the new clamp and registration gate design, I have no doubt that this press will hold registration during any amount of print jobs.
The kit came with everything I needed to start and I must say the most important part of it was the customer service I’ve received from the company. They have been more than helpful and that’s exactly what I need since I’m just starting out.
Give this kit serious consideration if you’re looking for a great entry-level kit into the screen-printing business!
I just posted about it too. lol
Let us know if you can do fine detail multi color jobs with this press, im thinking of buying this one as well. Im also wondering if i buy the 4 color 1 station press, that if can upgrade later on to a 2 station when things start to get a little busy.. Im going to email them thank's for sharing.
I was just looking at there videos on you tube, and yep your right, it look's like you can't. I might just go ahead and buy the 4 color 2 station, might as well.
Those presses do look beautiful and look very well built. All i can say is i can't stop looking at it, i think im falling in love. Uh Oh my wife is going to kill me....lol
haha that what i said when the first came out i was like" man i wonder how long will i have to sleep in the guest room for"
this is the post i did new "Silver Press"
It still doesnt have micro-reg. It's prettier, but it's pretty much the same as the other presses they manufacture/sell.
I'm sure they'll sell plenty of them.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what is a micro registration? What's the advantage with and without it? Can you still line-up the different screens (CMYK screens) if you're using the silver press (without micro registration)? We currently sub-out our screen printing jobs but seriously considering doing them in house.

From what i been hearing on the forum is that the micro registration is critical and precise for fine detail jobs.. That with out it... you won't be very precise in lineing up your 4,6,8 colors jobs.... I could be wrong, but that's what i've been told, im a newbie at screen printing myself as well.
Thanks for the replies! Sorry for the lag with the response, I wrote the review and had to leave so I didn't get a chance to watch the thread.

I'll be sure to do that as soon as I do some multi color jobs! I'll most likely be doing it within the next couple of weeks.
