Graphic Screen Printing Presses FAQ

What materials can I print on with a graphic screen printing press?

Unlike textile presses, Graphic Screen Printing Presses like the Proto-Press are designed for flat, rigid, or semi-rigid substrates. This includes materials such as acrylic, PVC, metal, glass, wood, and specialty cardstock.

What is the benefit of a vacuum bed on a graphic press?

A vacuum bed, standard on machines like the Mini-Printer M-Series, is essential for keeping thin or lightweight substrates (like decals or paper) perfectly flat and stationary during the print stroke. This ensures crisp detail and consistent registration.

Can I use these presses for fine art serigraphy?

Yes. The precision micro-registration and smooth pneumatic action of the Mini-Printer ASI make it a favorite for fine art printers who require exact color overlays and high-detail reproduction.
