Vastex V-2000HD 8-Color 8-Station Manual Screen Printing Press – Rear Clamp VAS-V2HD-88
Vastex V-2000HD-88 8-Color, 8-Station Manual Screen Printing Press – Rear Clamp
The Vastex V-2000HD-88 (part # VAS-V2HD-88) is the rear-clamp version of Vastex's heavy-duty, made-in-USA manual rotary press for shops that print multi-color jobs every day. Eight print heads and eight steel pallets let you run full-color sports, retail and simulated-process work on one press, with wrench-free micro-registration that holds tight registration from the first shirt to the last. Each head clamps the screen from the back with 12 in. steel rear clamps – the fastest set-up for most shirt work. Need to clamp screens from the sides instead? It's also available with fixed side clamps (VAS-V2HD-88-FSC). Buckets of Ink is an authorized Vastex dealer in Tempe, Arizona – we quote freight, crating, set-up and training to your door.
Why printers choose the V-2000HD
- Wrench-free set-up: level each head, set off-contact and micro-register by hand – heads come off or go on in seconds.
- Zero-backlash micro-registration: 1/4 turn moves the screen about 1/64 in. (0.015 in.), up to 1/4 in. of travel in any direction.
- Prints all heads down with fixed heads and gas-spring lifters that have 16 lift-strength settings.
- 6-way screen leveling and registration bearings set close to the screen, clear of spray tack.
- Never-warp steel pallets with replaceable rubber tops and a quick-release corner-clamp pallet arm; elevated pallets so garments load without stretching over the arm.
- Industrial build: 2.75 in. precision-ground center shaft, square steel rotor arms with ruler indicator, 12 in. steel rear screen clamps joined by a clamp bar for off-center clamping.
- Grows with you: the V-2000HD line upgrades station-by-station and color-by-color, up to 10 x 10.
- 2-year warranty on manufacturer's defects – made in Bethlehem, PA.
