Screen Printing Machines

Or the best "screen printing presses" as we call them in the screen printing world.

It is very common to be confused about which screen printing machine to choose; there are many options on the market, in addition to the field of manual and automatic screen printing machines.

Manual or automatic machines?

The answer depends on another question: How many t-shirts do you plan to print?

Planning with the future in mind is the key.

If our intention is to make t-shirts for ourselves, as a hobby, to start a clothing brand, or to start a business from scratch, then the best option is to start by using a manual screen printing machine.

If, on the other hand, we already have a business running, or we start a business from scratch but have a client portfolio and our printing forecast is around 3000 garments per day, then it is time to make the jump to automatic machines.

Manual desktop or floor machine?

It all depends on our workplace. If for now we are working at home, then we can choose the desktop option, but if we already have a shop or a large space to work in, then we recommend floor screen printing machines.

We imagine you have already seen hundreds of videos on YouTube about how to do screen printing and types of screen printing presses, and you have probably noticed that almost always the same American brands are the most used in the professional industry.
