ROQ E Electric Automatic Screen Printing Press – Plug, Print, and Perform

ROQ

The ROQ E Electric is the industry’s first self-contained automatic screen printing press — and a paradigm shift for shops that don’t want to (or can’t) install an external air compressor. A built-in ultra-quiet air supply is integrated directly into the machine: all you need is an electric outlet. Plug in. Print. That’s it. Available in 8 or 10 stations with up to 6 or 8 colors, producing up to 900 prints per hour with low-profile pallet arms purpose-built for easy sleeve printing. Near-silent operation means it runs in noise-sensitive shared-space shops, residential-zoned locations, or modern open-plan production floors where traditional auto presses with 10+ HP external compressors simply aren’t welcome. Backed by the full 3-year ROQ Solid Warranty covering parts, labor, and technician travel. The future of small-shop automation has arrived — and it doesn’t need a compressor room.

Why the E Is a Paradigm Shift

🔌 Industry’s First Self-Contained Automatic Press

The ROQ E Electric is the first-ever automatic screen printing press that eliminates the external air compressor requirement. A built-in ultra-quiet air supply is integrated into the machine — all you need is electric power. No compressor room, no external piping, no compressor maintenance schedule. Just plug in and print.

🔇 Ultra-Quiet Operation — Noise-Sensitive Shops Welcome

Traditional automatic presses with external 10+ HP compressors are loud enough to require hearing protection in nearby areas. The ROQ E runs near-silent. Ideal for shared-space shops, residential-zoned facilities, open-plan production floors, co-working maker spaces, or anywhere noise is a constraint.

⚡ Up to 900 Prints Per Hour

High production speed in a compact, self-contained package. The E delivers production-level throughput on 6–8 color work with ROQ’s signature precision indexing.

👕 Low-Profile Pallet Arms — Purpose-Built for Sleeves

The pallet arm design is specifically optimized for sleeve printing and hard-to-reach garment areas. For shops doing sleeve prints, ragland shirts, or specialty panels, this is a genuine production advantage over standard pallet arm geometries.

📏 Compact Footprint — Fits Small Shops and Home Studios

The E is available in 8-station (P08) and 10-station (P10) configurations — both compact enough for small shops, home studios, and maker-space co-op environments where a full-size carousel won’t fit.

🎛️ Same ROQ Controls & Precision

Despite the compact self-contained design, the E doesn’t compromise on controls: LCD touchscreen, independent per-head controls, ROQ’s signature ±0.001″ registration precision, and integrated flash cure support.

🌱 Reduced Environmental & Maintenance Footprint

No external compressor = no compressor-oil filter changes, no compressor room cooling load, no compressor-line leak maintenance. Simpler mechanical system = less downtime, less maintenance cost, and a smaller environmental footprint.

💼 Perfect for Manual-to-Auto Transition

Manual printers moving to automation often hit the compressor-installation hurdle — 3-phase electrical for a 10+ HP compressor, ducting, noise mitigation. The ROQ E eliminates that entire category of installation complexity. The only utility requirement: electric service.

🎨 6 or 8 Color Configurations

P08 (8 stations) configurations come with up to 6 colors; P10 (10 stations) configurations come with up to 8 colors. Choose based on your color count needs — both fit the same self-contained design philosophy.

🔧 Integrated Flash Cure Support

Flash cure units integrate directly with the E — no need to sacrifice print heads to flash placement. Standard ROQ flash dryer compatibility: ROQdry ECO and ROQ Dry Evolution flash units.

🌍 Simplified Install — Just Plug In

Traditional auto press install: electrical + compressed air + exhaust + operator training. ROQ E install: electrical + operator training. That’s it. Installation timelines drop from 3–5 days to 1–2 days for most shops. No compressor room prep work, no air plumbing.

🛡️ 3-Year ROQ Solid Warranty — Parts, Labor & Travel

Same premium warranty coverage as every other ROQ press — parts, labor, AND technician travel covered. Built to ROQ’s production standards, backed by the industry’s only named warranty.

✓ Covered by the ROQ Solid Warranty

The Industry’s Only Named Equipment Warranty

Every ROQ E Electric is covered by the ROQ Solid Warranty — the only named warranty program in the automatic screen-print equipment industry. Standard coverage includes parts, labor, AND technician travel — meaning if something goes wrong, you don’t pay for the part, shipping, tech time, or travel costs when a ROQ technician needs to come onsite.

Coverage periods vary by configuration. For the full ROQ Solid Warranty document specific to your ROQ E Electric build, call us at (512) 454-0505 — we include the current warranty PDF with every quote.

💰 Equipment Financing Available

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “self-contained” actually mean?

Traditional automatic screen printing presses require an external air compressor to power pneumatic squeegees, indexing, and head lifting. That compressor is typically 10+ HP, requires 3-phase electrical service, dedicated floor space (or a compressor room), and plumbed air lines to the press. The ROQ E Electric integrates an ultra-quiet air supply directly into the machine — all you need is an electric outlet. No compressor, no air plumbing, no compressor room. It’s the first automatic press to truly eliminate that entire category of installation complexity.

Why would I pick the E over a FIT, YOU, or NEXT?

Three scenarios where the E makes more sense than other ROQ presses: (1) Your shop can’t accommodate an external compressor (home studio, shared space, noise-restricted building). (2) You’re moving from manual to auto and want the simplest possible installation (no compressor sizing, no air plumbing). (3) You value ultra-quiet operation (open-plan shops, co-working spaces, noise-sensitive environments). If none of those apply, the ROQ FIT or ROQ YOU may be better price/performance.

How quiet is “ultra-quiet”?

Significantly quieter than a traditional auto press with an external 10+ HP compressor running nearby. ROQ doesn’t publish a dB spec on the E, but in-shop comparisons consistently report that operators can hold normal conversations next to a running ROQ E — something that’s simply not possible near a running traditional auto with external compressor.

What if I already have a compressor?

If you already have a compressor installed and sized for an auto press, you may not need the E specifically — any of the other ROQ presses (FIT, YOU, NEXT, ECO) will work with your existing air infrastructure. The E’s value is primarily for shops that don’t have (or don’t want to install) a compressor. Call us — we’ll help you figure out which press is the best fit for your existing infrastructure.

Does the built-in compressor handle production loads?

Yes — the E is designed with air capacity sized for the P08 or P10 configuration’s actual demand under production conditions. ROQ calls this “reduced air capacity needs” — the press is engineered to do more with less air because the built-in compressor is right-sized rather than needing to cover multiple machines. Real-world production shops running the E at max speed report no air-supply issues.

What happens if the built-in compressor fails?

The built-in compressor is a serviceable component covered under the ROQ Solid Warranty. If it fails, it’s a warranty repair — parts, labor, and technician travel all covered. It’s built to ROQ’s industrial-duty standards, not a consumer-grade compressor. We maintain direct escalation to ROQ US and Portugal for any warranty situation.

Can it print water-based and discharge?

Yes — the E handles plastisol (all types), water-based, discharge, DTF, and specialty inks. For best water-based curing, pair with a ROQ SAHARA or ROQ Tunnel forced-air conveyor dryer.

What’s the ROI compared to a traditional auto + compressor?

Traditional auto + external compressor capital: press + 10HP compressor + 3-phase electrical upgrade (if needed) + compressor room prep + air plumbing. The ROQ E eliminates 3 of those 4 cost categories. For shops starting fresh, the total installed cost is typically 15–25% lower than a comparable traditional auto + new compressor install. Plus faster install (1–2 days vs. 3–5), lower maintenance cost, and lower noise-related workplace considerations. Call us — we’ll run the numbers for your specific situation.

What does the ROQ Solid Warranty cover?

Parts, labor, AND technician travel — including the built-in air compressor. Same coverage as every other ROQ press. Coverage periods vary by component; we send the current warranty PDF with every quote.
