Vastex V2000 HD

Industry's fastest micro-registration slashes set-up time, boosting profit

Remember :

It's set-up time — not printing speed — that dictates your output and your profit, and no other press cuts

your set-up time as dramatically as a Vastex.

Radically different from competitive systems, the Vastex micro-registration print head adjustment is :

 1) spring loaded, 2) anti-backlash, 3) direct drive and 4) supported from an ultra-rigid frame. As a result, rotating the knob ¼ turn moves the print head precisely .015" (1/64"), with a ½ turn moving the print head precisely .031" (1/32") ... every time ... and always in a straight line, whether your press is brand new or 10 years old.

This extreme predictability, with zero slop or play, means you know — in advance — how much to rotate a knob to move the head into registration.

By contrast, virtually all competitive print heads use turnbuckles (without spring loading) to move the print head, with two negative results: First, as the machine wears, the amount of screen movement per rotation of the turnbuckle can vary, causing the operator to A) estimate how much to rotate the turnbuckle to align one of the colors B) make that movement and lock the head C) print another sample and find it did not move where expected, and D) discard that shirt or test square and try it again.

Worse, turnbuckles cause the head to pivot left-to-right in an arc, instead of moving in a straight line, adding to the difficulty of guessing where the head will move.

Multiply the extra time and rejects by the number of colors, and turnbuckles can waste 15 to 30 minutes every time you "Dial-in" a job — time you could be printing garments and making profits!
