How long does it take to install a Roq Next ten‑colour press? Experienced crews level, align, and power a Roq Next in under eight hours, allowing first test prints before close of business.
Can Roq presses integrate with water‑based ink systems? Yes, servo off‑contact precision and floodbar pressure monitoring maintain edge sharpness on high‑viscosity water‑based whites; an optional mist extractor improves shop air quality.
Is remote support available outside standard U.S. hours? Buckets of Ink maintains a twenty‑four‑hour hotline with technicians in three time zones who can VPN into the press PLC, diagnose faults, and dispatch overnight parts shipments.
What warranty covers Roq machinery? New presses ship with a two‑year mechanical warranty and five‑year servo motor coverage, extendable to seven years through our worry‑free uptime program.
Does Roq Eco qualify for local energy‑efficiency rebates? Many utility providers offer incentives for variable‑frequency‑drive equipment; Buckets of Ink supplies the kWh reduction data sheets required for rebate applications.

Discover Industry‑Leading Roq US Screen Printing Automation
Roq automatic screen printing machines represent the pinnacle of textile automation with direct‑drive servo technology, intuitive fifteen‑inch HMI touchscreens, and modular stations that expand as your order book grows. Buckets of Ink curates the entire portfolio—Roq Eco for sustainability‑minded producers, Roq You for modular growth, Roq Oval Evolution for space‑efficient hybrid workflows, and Roq Next for enterprise‑level throughput—backed by financing, nationwide logistics, and lifetime technical support.
What Makes Roq Automatic Presses Different?
Traditional pneumatic presses waste compressed air, drift off registration, and saturate shop floors with relentless hiss. Roq replaces air cylinders with whisper‑quiet servo motors that generate exact torque on command, yielding sub‑millimetre accuracy even after eighteen‑hour shifts. Firmware tracks every index in real time, recording cycle count, off‑contact variance, and platen temperature for predictive maintenance alerts that arrive on your smartphone before a bearing shows wear. This data‑centric design, coupled with hardened steel print arms and anodised aluminium carousels, empowers shops transitioning from manual carousels to industrial‑scale production without suffering the steep learning curve typical of legacy equipment.
Roq You Press: Modular Engineering for Relentless Growth
Roq You evolves with your business; twelve stations today can become sixteen tomorrow by adding bolt‑on palette arms and recalibrating the servo indexer through a guided wizard inside the GUI. The press accepts oversize thirty‑two‑inch squeegees for billboard prints yet handles fine halftone posters on sixty‑three‑line mesh thanks to its low‑inertia printheads. Shops chasing quick fashion drops appreciate three‑minute job repeats using bar‑coded screen frames that auto‑load print parameters, while contract decorators rely on the forty‑five‑second tool‑less screen clamp changeovers to smash same‑day turnarounds.
Roq Eco Press: Sustainability Meets Performance
Eco metrics matter when negotiating licensing agreements with athletic leagues or corporate CSR departments. Roq Eco reduces carbon impact through regenerative motor braking that channels kinetic energy back into the grid and precision squeegee pressure sensors that trim ink waste by five percent per colour. An Atlanta collegiate supplier measured annual savings of forty‑three thousand kilowatt‑hours and recouped eighty‑seven gallons of ink once considered unavoidable overprint purge, proving ecological responsibility can coexist with bottom‑line prosperity.
Roq Oval Evolution: Intelligent Space Utilisation
Urban real estate costs force decorators to do more inside smaller footprints, which is why Roq Oval Evolution runs concentric rails that glide palettes around a central spine. The oval geometry supports unlimited module counts, so a boutique streetwear studio can start with eighteen pallets then scale to forty without re‑configuring ventilation or power drops. Independent zone controls let operators run dark‑garment pretreat lanes alongside light‑garment CMYK lanes, maximising machine utilisation during seasonal demand swings.
Why Choose Roq US Over Other Automatic Presses?
CE‑certified construction in Portugal means every weld passes rigid EU quality audits, while U.S. based parts warehouses ensure ninety‑eight percent component availability within twenty‑four hours. Compared to M&R or Anatol, Roq’s beltless servo indexer eliminates air leaks, hot‑swappable PCBs reduce electrician callouts, and the platform’s open API integrates seamlessly with ROQfold stackers, ROQpack baggers, and third‑party pre‑registration lasers. The result is a press ecosystem that scales from ten thousand monthly impressions to two million without rewriting standard operating procedures.
RoqPress Integration and Workflow Efficiency
Automation extends beyond the carousel. Integrated quartz flashes track platen temperature via infrared feedback loops, dropping dwell in real time to protect heat‑sensitive poly blends. A Chicago fulfilment centre running three Roq Next presses connected to ROQfold and ROQpack lines cut manual handling by sixty‑four percent, freeing two operators for quality control audits that further reduced spoilage. Buckets of Ink configures these peripheral devices during installation, mapping PLC logic to your conveyor dryer and ERP software so shipping labels print the moment garments drop into cartons.
Financing, Training, and Nationwide Delivery Through Buckets of Ink
Capital equipment must earn its keep from the first shift, which is why Buckets of Ink offers zero‑percent introductory financing, flexible ninety‑day deferrals, and section 179 tax guidance. We schedule white‑glove freight that includes lift‑gate delivery, rigging, and debris removal. Post‑installation, our certified trainers spend forty hours on‑site covering servo maintenance, squeegee durometer selection, simulated process colour theory, and AI‑driven job scheduling tools. Ongoing remote diagnostics keep your uptime above ninety‑nine percent, and replacement parts ship from Phoenix the same day a ticket opens.
