if you're trying to save money, then buy a used press.
M&R, Vastex, Anatol, RJennings, Antec are all good brands.

What is the best choice; V1000 or odyssey or Riley hopkins
Hi guys
Im new to silkscreen. I have a limited budget to purchase a press machines. There are several reliable presses out there in the market as such as vastex V1000 or Workhorse odyssey or Riley hopkins WIN. I'm entirely confused on what to get. Frankly speaking I'm not sure what to get. Basically they have the same features.
I would be thankful if you guys write some feedbacks from your own experiences. I guess that would be help to determine the press that I will be getting

The "limited budget" is certainly understandable. The mentioned presses are all decent. New is sweet but also take a look at the used market. I just saw some good deals...Antec Legend 6/6 $1650, Hopkins 6/4 about the same, couple of Hix pressses and someone on this forum just bought a truck load of equipment for around $3800. Just as a suggestion, avoid "cheap" unfamiliar stuff and go with tried true names. Get as many colors and stations as you can afford, rotary and with micro registration.Im new to silkscreen.

A few I check periodically and have bought through:where would you look for used equipment?

Craigslist, E-bay, the Classified section here, Digitsmith, a lot of manufacturers sell used/refurbished equipment, Screenprinters.net still has an active classified section, screenprintexchange.com, equip-used.com.
