Hello everyone! I have my own growing clothing brand. You can check it out at www.instagram.com/alexander.spade I finally want to buy my own screen printing press and I have done a research and I need to decide between 2 presses. The first one is Vastex V1000 4/6 ( I know V2000 is a lot better but it is out of my budget for now) The problems with that press for me is that is based in US and I am from Bulgaria. Anyway I found people that represent Vastex in Germany and I would buy it for them for 2800euro. The other press is recommened to me by a firm here in Bulgaria which represent it and can help me out fast in case of a problem with it. Its Printex Man 6x6 which they present it to be better than the Vastex 1000. It is for 3850euro which is a little bit out of my budget and this kinda stops me from buying it. Also a problem is that I find nothing about it online. The press really looks good with the head holding the screen on the sides and not only on the back (not sure if it matters a lot) I need help with deciding between those 2. I would also love it if you share some expereince about the Printex press. Thank you!

The vastex 1000 really isn't worth buying IMO. Since I have used it Vastex claims major improvements

Printex is a polish company, we see a few autos here and there in the states I have never seen a manual

You believe the V1000 you used isnt worth it but they changed it since then, did i get it right?
And the Printex press they say it is identical to the Anatol Thunder one.

That's what Vastex claims. that they made improvements.

The Printex and Anatol aren't the same press. If you look at pics of each you can clearly see the heads are different.

What I learned is that the Printex owner was a guy from Anatol who left and made basiclly the same thing but with some improvements/changes and on a slightly better price. Anyaway , thank you a lot for your time! Means a lot. I hope i get a respons soon if the “updated” V1000 is worth it.

For durability, most engineers would prefer welds to lots of bolts and rivets - and steel to aluminum.
Here's a you tube video you may find of interest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZC56iQfSJE
As you noted Anatol is also made in Poland.

Do yourself a favor st look into the antec legend. If your starting off you should set yourself up to succeed. It may not be the cheapest option but you are investing in YOUR business that is suppose to make you money. Do it right FIRST. It's slot more expensive to make a mistake then it is to do it right the first time. The ROI on the legend is unmatched due to the precision and ease of use. We have used every press out there and have not replaced them all with legends
