Expose your own screens, print vibrant multi-color designs, flash between colors, and cure production-ready garments — every core stage covered by matched, professional gear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vastex Pro 1 Package — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Vastex Pro 1 package?
It’s our most affordable complete screen printing shop package — a turnkey starter setup of genuine Vastex equipment built to launch a printing business. It includes the press plus everything to expose screens, flash between colors, and cure finished prints.
Is the press included?
Yes — the Vastex V-1000 4-color / 4-station press is the centerpiece. It’s a commercial free-standing manual rotary press with wrench-free floating-head registration that prints up to four colors.
Does it include a screen drying cabinet?
No — Pro 1 keeps the price as low as possible by leaving out the drying cabinet. You can air-dry coated screens, or add a Dri-Cab drying cabinet to dry them dust-free.
Is this a good way to start a screen printing business?
Yes — it’s the lowest-cost complete Vastex shop. Instead of piecing together gear from different brands, you get one matched, professional setup that covers the core process, can be financed together, and is backed by our support.
What else do I need to start printing?
A way to make film positives (a film-positive printer), a washout booth, a way to dry coated screens (air-dry or a drying cabinet), and consumables — emulsion, screens & mesh, inks, squeegees, tape and garments.
How many colors can it print?
Up to four colors on four stations with the included V-1000 free-standing rotary press — and it’s expandable as you grow.
How is Pro 1 different from the other packages?
Pro 1 is the entry point: a 4-color V-1000 press, an F-1000 flash and a compact D-1000 dryer (no cabinet). The Pro 2 (6-color) and Pro 3 (8-color) step up capacity, and the industrial V-2000 Shop 2 / Shop 3 packages add even more.
Can I buy the pieces separately, and is financing available?
Yes to both — every item links to its own product page, and the package can be financed as a single setup. Call (512) 454-0505 and we’ll help you spec your space and power, install everything, and get you printing.
