Automatic Screen Printing Machines Ontario, CA
When you search for automatic screen printing machines near me, you need speed without sacrificing registration. We supply ROQ automatic presses known for rock-solid build quality, intuitive controls, and consistent print accuracy across long runs. With dialed-in micro-registration, smooth pallets, and precise squeegee/floodbar control, ROQ automatics help Ontario shops jump from hundreds to thousands of pieces per shift. Local demo availability lets you evaluate features, ergonomics, and footprint before you buy.
Beyond presses, we help you integrate compatible flash units, take-off systems, and inline QC steps so operators maintain tempo without bottlenecks. Our team advises on press layouts to shorten travel distances, improve operator visibility, and maximize curing capacity, ensuring your automatic investment delivers ROI from day one.
Manual Screen Printing Presses for Startups and Specialty Work
For startups, schools, boutique brands, and specialty printers, a modern manual press remains the best way to learn fundamentals and control nuanced ink behavior. We offer manual presses with expandable color/print stations, heavy-duty bearings, and tool-less off-contact adjustments so you can scale capability as revenue grows. Short runs of metallic, puff, high density, and simulated process designs benefit from the tactile feedback of a well-tuned manual, and our Ontario team shows you how to set up quickly and lock in repeatability.
Manual lines pair perfectly with compact conveyor dryers and precision exposure units, minimizing footprint while delivering professional results. If your path leads to automatics later, your manual station becomes the perfect test bay for R&D and sampling, protecting uptime on your main line.
Dryers, Exposure Units, Flash, and Washout — Complete the Workflow
Consistent curing is non-negotiable. We stock conveyor dryers with stable heat profiles for plastisol, water-based, and hybrid systems, as well as flash dryers for controlled gel phases between colors. Our exposure units produce crisp stencils with reduced undercutting and faster washout times, enabling tighter halftones and small text. Purpose-built washout booths and screen racks keep reclaim tidy and extend screen life. Ask our Ontario team to size the line for your target pieces per hour so you never outgrow your dryer on day two.
We also help you dial in ventilation, power, and compressed air planning for safety and efficiency. Proper make-up air, ducting routes, and breaker allocation eliminate hot spots, nuisance trips, and airflow starvation that can undermine print consistency.
Local Training, Showroom Demos, and Onboarding Support
Seeing equipment under load beats any spec sheet. Book a showroom demo in Ontario to watch automatic and manual presses run real jobs with production ink sets and meshes. We cover press leveling, pallet alignment, squeegee durometer selection, angle/pressure tuning, and registration best practices. After purchase, our onboarding support includes workflow mapping, maintenance intervals, and operator checklists so your crew keeps the line humming during peak season.
Pair Equipment with Proven Screen Printing Supplies
Great hardware deserves great chemistry. Alongside equipment, we stock screen printing supplies trusted by professional shops: Wilflex Epic Rio plastisol inks for bold, accurate color; Chromaline emulsions for predictable exposure latitude; CCI reclaim and press-wash solutions that protect stencils while speeding changeovers; precision scoop coaters, squeegees, mesh, and screens. One supplier, one invoice, one support team — everything tuned to your press and dryer.

Why Shops Choose Buckets of Ink
We’ve spent decades helping decorators build sustainable, profitable print operations. Instead of pushing the biggest spec sheet, we prioritize fit, uptime, and operator comfort. We model press footprints, curing capacity, and labor allocation; we right-size exposure and reclaim; and we align your ink set to substrates you actually print. That’s how shops reduce misprints, hit deadlines, and scale without chaos.
Future-Ready: Hybrid, DTF, and Embroidery Integration
Growth rarely stays in one lane. If you’re exploring hybrid or complementary services, our team connects your screen equipment with DTF supplies and embroidery supplies so you can quote faster and say “yes” to more jobs. From DTF transfers that fill rush gaps to embroidery upsells on premium garments, we help you build a resilient, high-margin product mix.
