VEVOR Screen Printing Machine, 1 Color 1 Station Silk Screen Printing Press, 21.2x17.7in / 54x45cm Screen Printing Press, Double-Layer Positioning Pallet, Adjustable Tension for T-Shirt DIY Printing

I was worried about all the negative reviews regarding missing parts and difficulty assembling it, but I was surprised and got it all together in about an hour! I wasn't missing any parts, and the instructions were a little bit convoluted but still easy to follow as long as you consult the parts guide on the back. I will say though, you may want to unscrew out the long screws on the part I circled in the picture that I included with my review before you attach them to the springs. These adjust the spring tension. I saw some reviews saying it is difficult to use the press without clamping or bolting it down to a table. Pulling these out will make the tension looser and reduces the amount of recoil you get when pulling the arm back up from the shirt board! Overall I'm very excited to put it to use. I will update my review if I have any problems with it, but so far so good! Edit: Been putting it to use and it works perfectly! I wish I had invested the extra money and gotten the one that can hold four screens, I will have to save up for it now. I wanted to add another tip to my review. Add painters tape to the shirt board edges! I saw some reviews mention how a shirt will catch on the rough edges of the board when sliding it on, this was easily remedied for me with the tape! The tape won't get in the way of anything as long as you put it on evenly and smooth it down flat!

I read a lot of the other product reviews before buying this single screen setup. Background, I have a lot of experience as a welder, fabricator, mechanic, and as an artist and used to have a 4 screen rig before it got stolen. This thing is AWESOME. ESPECIALLY for the price. It took me about as long to set it up and calibrate for the screen and shirts as it did to assemble it. I wouldn’t make any design changes. Now….. if you are not mechanically inclined, I would have somebody else put it together. It’s best if you have a cordless drill, cordless impact, and a wrench and socket set. I would definitely not try putting this thing together with the tools supplied. I actually only chased out the smallest holes with my tap and then got lazy and didn’t have any trouble with the threads on the larger holes. There was one manufacturing issue that I was surprised that it passed QC, one of the tubular steel pieces had a split as shown in the photo.

(Four stars for beginners) The Vevor printing machine CAN be adjusted to get a thin, even offset from the work surface. It takes too long to adjust if you're trying to pay the rent with this machine. I recommend using screens with aluminum frames. My wood frame couldn't get the adjustment right. The grips need to be tight and that just kept smashing the wood. Adjusting the fit was never predictable. My aluminum framed screen was much easier to adjust. That said, there are sooooo many nuts and bolts to adjust to get an even offset. If you want to do ONE production run per day, you should be fine. I was printing white ink on black material. I used Camie 380 Screen Printer Spray Adhesive on the platen. I made three passes with the squeegee. In between passes, I used a hair dryer on high heat to flash dry the ink. The final image had absolutely zero ghosting. I only needed to do a few shirts, and each one was perfect. However, I do not know how this would work after 50 shirts. CAUTIONS: 1) ADJUST YOUR SPRINGS AND YOUR STOP PAD! You want the tension to be just high enough that the screen will stay up with the squeegee resting in the back area of the screen. But you also want the screen to hold itself in place against the stop pad (a bolt near the back of the unit). The sensation is that as you lower the screen, the springs are pulling it back up UNTIL just before it hits the stop pad. At that point, you will feel the spring tension let up. 2) DON'T LET THE SCREEN FLY UP! The screen has two positions: All the way up; and All the way down. There is NO in between and your hand MUST be holding on to the screen between those two positions. Otherwise, the screen WILL fly upwards launching your squeegee and messy messy ink into the air. No, I did not learn this the hard way. 3) INSERT AND REMOVE SCREENS IN THE UP POSITION! The weight of the screen is helping to hold down the spring arm. If the spring arm is down when you remove the screen, the spring arm will launch upwards throwing the machine around and uncoupling the springs. Without the springs in place, the arm comes crashing back down. Yes, I learned this the hard way (at least no ink went flying). All that clattering about will throw all of your adjustments out of whack. If you are then going to insert a second screen to do a second production run, you will have to readjust everything to get your offset correct. This is a ONE color machine for producing monochrome prints. Don't complain if you cannot figure out how to get it to do two or more colors. That's not what it is designed to do. The 17mm wrenches that come with the machine are crap. I'm going to get a couple better ones to keep with the machine. I recommend this machine if you are new to screen printing and are not able/willing to invest 10x the price to get a high quality machine.

The setup took a little bit of time, but the directions are all there for you to follow, and the tools are provided. The machine is pretty sturdy and it is easy to put the screen in for screen-printing. It's a pretty good price for a 1 color single station screen printing press.

This is the most worthless piece of crap ever. Whoever wrote the instructions doesn’t seem to understand what the word “instructions“ mean. They sent “tools” to go with it but they don’t fit anything. I wanted to start a business using this but now I’m back to square one. I am returning this because no one could put it together. I’ll have to drill holes to make it work. They are asking you to do the impossible. This would be a really cool tool for printing t-shirts but when you have worthless manufacturing they will help you go out of business.

This machine is a great entry point into t-shirt based screen printing. Having used this device for nearly a year now there are small aspects which I had to learn to work with, but overall the exceptional gains this provides versus trying to do t-shirt prints by hand is unbelievable. The small investment into this machine versus the significant time and stress savings of trying to screen print without this tool makes it a no-brainer.

Pour le prix, rien à dire, il faut prendre du temps pour bien là régler . Je ne regrette pas mon achat.

Lohnt sich

Nothing to complain about other than the included tools, but that is pretty minor. There is tons of adjustment, which is a must before your first use, but not a big deal if you are prepared for it. Note, that it will only work with adult shirts in its shipped configuration. You will need to make your own platen for kids shirts.

Easy to install and seems like a decent machine. The major problem is that the bottom of the metal part that holds the screen (where the threaded screen holders are) is out of square. So, when a screen is in there, it lifts off of the platen by .5" (approximately) at the far end of the screen. Unless we cut a wedge to insert under the screen where the clamps hold it down to fix the angle, or bring it to a metal shop to have it bent into square, we will not be able to use the machine. Reaching out to Vevor on the chance that they might be able to help.
