Description

VASTEX INTERNATIONAL • MADE IN USA

The V-2000HD: Industrial Manual Press Built for Serious Shops

Heavy-duty steel construction, advanced anti-backlash micro-registration, and full expandability from 1 station to 10 make the V-2000HD the last manual press you’ll ever need to buy.

Why the V-2000HD?

Heavy Duty Steel

Never-warp steel pallets with rubber tops and corner clamp pallet arm. 3.25″ square steel rotor arm with ruler indicator, heavy-gauge rotor assemblies throughout.

100% Wrench-Free

Independent head leveling, off-contact adjustment, micro-registration, and complete print head removal or installation — all without a wrench. Slash setup time on every job.

Advanced Micro-Registration

Embedded registration bearings positioned close to the screen (away from spray tack) with zero-backlash bearings on the screen arm pivot. Holds tight multicolor registration all day.

Prints All Heads Down

Fixed head design means every print arm can be down simultaneously for multi-hit, underbase, and flash sequences — no head-lifting interference with adjacent stations.

Expandable at Any Time

Start with a 1-station tabletop and upgrade to a 10-station/10-color floor press whenever your shop is ready. No need to buy a new machine as you grow.

Smart Gas Lifters

Gas spring lifters with 16-position variable lift strength and 12″ wide steel rear screen clamps joined by a clamp bar. Supports screens up to 8 lbs standard, 30 lbs with double gas springs, 50 lbs with HD head upgrades.

Built Different: Engineering That Matters

2.75″ Center Shaft

Precision-ground center shaft provides the stable foundation that keeps every station in perfect alignment under production pressure.

3.25″ Sq. Rotor Arm

Square steel rotor arm with ruler indicator — the stiffest rotor geometry in its class. Eliminates flex that causes misregistration on high-count jobs.

12″ Rear Screen Clamps

Wide steel rear clamps joined by a steel clamp bar allow off-center screen clamping. Accepts side clamp accessories in 20 seconds.

Elevated Pallets

Pallets sit elevated on the arm — no need to stretch shirts over the arm. Also compatible with quick-stretch jacket attachment for lined garments.

Zero Backlash Bearings

Ball bearings on the screen arm pivot eliminate the slop that creeps into registration over time. All critical moving parts ride on bearings.

6-Way Screen Leveling

Advanced 6-way leveling system with adjustable micro clamp levers. Dial in each head independently for perfectly even ink deposit across all stations.

Side Clamps vs. Rear Clamps: Which Do You Need?

The V-2000HD ships with 12″ wide rear screen clamps as standard. Removable side clamps (SC-22 / SC-26 series) are available as an upgrade — or you can order a fixed side clamp configuration from the factory (e.g., V2HD-44-FSC). Here’s how to choose.

REAR CLAMPS

Standard on all V-2000HD

✔ Pros

  • Included with every press — no extra cost
  • 12″ wide clamp bar handles most standard screen sizes
  • Off-center clamping for flexibility in screen placement
  • Accepts DiGiT numbering jig in 20 seconds
  • Maximum squeegee stroke clearance on all sides
  • Easy screen swap — flip-up and drop-in

✘ Cons

  • No clamping support on screen sides — can allow slight flex on very large screens
SIDE CLAMPS

SC-22 / SC-26 series add-on

✔ Pros

  • Supports oversized screens up to 24″ wide (21″ on 8 & 10 color models)
  • Four-point clamping reduces screen flex and improves registration on large prints
  • Removable in seconds when not needed — no tools required
  • 8″, 12″, and 30″ depth options for different screen frame depths
  • 30″ deep option (SC-22-30 / SC-26-30) ideal for extra-large or specialty frames
  • Gas spring included on all configurations (double spring on 30″ depth)

✘ Cons

  • Additional cost over standard rear clamps
  • Slightly reduces available squeegee stroke width on some configurations
  • Not compatible with DiGiT numbering jig when side clamps are installed
  • Fixed side clamp factory option (V2HD-44-FSC) cannot be converted back to rear-only

Bottom line: If you’re printing standard plastisol jobs on typical 20″–23″ frames, rear clamps are all you need. If you run larger specialty frames, allover prints, or production that demands four-point screen stability, the removable side clamps are worth every penny — and you can pull them off in seconds when the job doesn’t need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What V-2000HD models are available?

The V-2000HD series includes 9 models: tabletop presses (V2HD-11-T and V2HD-14-T), allover floor presses (V2HD-FP-11 and V2HD-FP-14), and rotary floor presses from 4-station/4-color (V2HD-44) up to 10-station/10-color (V2HD-1010). Every model shares the same heavy-duty steel construction and advanced feature set.

Can I upgrade my V-2000HD to add more stations or colors later?

Yes — the V-2000HD is fully expandable at any time. You can start with a 1-station/1-color tabletop and add stations and print heads incrementally all the way up to a 10-station/10-color floor press. This modular design protects your initial investment as your shop grows and your production demands increase.

What screen sizes does the V-2000HD accept?

The V-2000HD uses 12″ (30 cm) wide steel rear screen clamps that join via a steel clamp bar for off-center clamping. With optional removable side clamps, maximum screen width is 24″ on models V2HD-11-T through V2HD-66, and 21″ on V2HD-88 and V2HD-1010 (when all heads are loaded). Larger screens will fit when neighboring heads are left empty. Standard screen weight limit is 8 lbs; upgrade to double gas springs for up to 30 lbs or HD heads for up to 50 lbs.

Does the V-2000HD really print with all heads down simultaneously?

Yes. The V-2000HD uses a fixed-head design that keeps all print heads in the down position at the same time. This is critical for multicolor setups where you need to adjust off-contact distance across all stations simultaneously, set up flash cure positions, or perform other press-wide operations without lifting and resetting each head individually.

What pallets and accessories are compatible with the V-2000HD?

The V-2000HD works with an extensive lineup of Vastex pallets and attachments including shirt pallets (multiple sizes up to jumbo 20″x24″), sleeve, leg, mini, koozie, wing, vacuum, all-over, tagless, and hat pallets. Additional accessories include Quick Stretch attachments for lined jackets, zipper/seam attachments, pocket and polo attachments, DiGiT™ athletic numbering jigs, removable side clamps, drop-down wheel sets, and squeegee rests.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

The V-2000HD comes with a 2-year warranty from Vastex International covering manufacturing defects. Normal wear and abuse are excluded. The warranty applies to all models in the V-2000HD series.

Is the V-2000HD made in the United States?

Yes. Every V-2000HD press is manufactured by Vastex International in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Vastex has been producing industrial screen printing equipment in the USA for over 60 years.
