Screen Printing Equipment for Los Angeles Print Shops

Los Angeles, CA is one of the largest apparel decoration markets in the country. From Hollywood merchandise to streetwear brands, shops demand reliable screen printing equipment. Buckets of Ink supplies ROQ automatic presses, manual presses, exposure units, and dryers trusted by professional shops throughout Southern California. We deliver, install, and train operators to ensure every piece of equipment performs to standard.

Manual vs Automatic Screen Printing Presses

Manual presses are versatile and affordable, making them a great option for startups and boutique shops in Los Angeles. Automatic presses like those from ROQ streamline production, delivering faster turnaround and reducing labor costs. Buckets of Ink helps LA shops choose the right press to scale their production efficiently.

Exposure Units for Crisp Stencils

Every great print begins with a sharp stencil. Buckets of Ink supplies exposure units engineered for consistency, whether you’re creating single-color designs or complex multi-color jobs. Pairing Chromaline emulsions with our exposure systems ensures precise registration for LA shops producing fashion, uniforms, and promotional products.

Flash Dryers & Conveyor Dryers

Curing is critical for garment durability. Flash dryers are ideal for spot curing and smaller runs, while conveyor dryers support large-scale operations across Los Angeles. Brands like BBC and Vastex deliver the consistent curing required to keep prints wash-resistant and profitable.

Installation, Training & Local Support

Buying equipment is just the first step. Buckets of Ink provides installation and operator training across Los Angeles County. Our technicians calibrate presses, exposure units, and dryers while training your staff to maximize efficiency. With ongoing support, LA shops reduce downtime and maintain production schedules.
