Description

Vastex Pro 3 — A Complete 8-Color Shop to Kickstart Your Business

Launching a screen printing business means buying a lot of equipment that all has to work together. The Vastex Pro 3 package solves that in one order: a genuine, USA-made Vastex shop built around a V-1000 8-color / 8-station press. Expose and dry your screens, print vibrant multi-color designs, flash between colors, and cure production-ready garments — every stage covered by matched, professional gear.

Everything You Need to Print — In One Package

This is a true turnkey shop: the press is included, and so is the equipment to make screens, flash and cure. Here’s the full workflow and how the pieces fit together:

#	Stage	Included product	What it’s for
1	Expose your screens	Vastex E-200 21×28 LED Exposure Unit	Burns your stencils with true vacuum draw-down: a lid with a vacuum pump pulls film and screen into tight contact for razor-sharp detail. Three 18″ LED bars expose screens up to 21×28, controlled by a simple one-touch panel.
2	Dry your screens	Vastex VDC-2331 Dri-Cab Drying Cabinet	A light-tight, heated, filtered-air cabinet that dries emulsion-coated screens dust-free — holds ten 23×31 screens and has them ready to expose in as little as ~60 minutes.
3	Print up to 8 colors	Vastex V-1000 8-Color / 8-Station Press	The heart of your shop: a commercial free-standing manual rotary press with eight print stations and eight colors, a wrench-free floating-head micro-registration system and steel pallets. Holds screens up to 21×28 and prints registered multi-color designs.
4	Flash between colors	Vastex Air Flash 18″×18″	A forced-air flash cure that gels plastisol between colors in as little as ~4 seconds and cures water-based and discharge inks — heated air distributed evenly across the whole head, with digital control.
5	Cure your prints	Vastex LittleRed X2D 30″ Conveyor Dryer	The final step: a 30″ infrared conveyor dryer with dual infrared elements and digital temperature control that cures plastisol and water-based prints as garments come off the press.

What Each Piece Does

The Dri-Cab drying cabinet dries coated screens dust-free in a light-tight, filtered-air cabinet so they’re ready to expose.

3 · Print up to 8 colors

The V-1000 8-color press prints registered multi-color designs with a wrench-free floating-head micro-registration system.

4 · Flash between colors

The Air Flash 18×18 gels plastisol between colors in seconds with forced hot air and cures water-based inks.

5 · Cure your prints

The LittleRed X2D conveyor dryer fully cures plastisol and water-based prints coming off the press.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vastex Pro 3 Package — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Vastex Pro 3 package?

It’s a complete screen printing shop package — a turnkey setup of genuine Vastex equipment built to kickstart a printing business. It includes the press plus everything to expose and dry screens, flash between colors, and cure finished prints.

Is the press included?

Yes — the Vastex V-1000 8-color / 8-station press is the centerpiece. It’s a commercial free-standing manual rotary press with wrench-free floating-head registration that prints up to eight colors.

What’s included?

Five pieces: the V-1000 8-color / 8-station press, the E-200 21×28 exposure unit, the VDC-2331 Dri-Cab drying cabinet, the Air Flash 18×18, and the LittleRed X2D 30″ conveyor dryer.

Is this a good way to start a screen printing business?

Yes — it’s designed exactly for that. Instead of piecing together a shop from different brands, you get one matched, professional Vastex setup that covers the full production 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 to develop and reclaim screens, and consumables — emulsion, screens & mesh, inks, squeegees, tape and blank garments. Tell us your plans and we’ll build the full list.

How many colors can it print?

Up to eight colors on eight stations with the included V-1000 free-standing rotary press.

How is the Pro 3 different from the Shop / Premium packages?

Pro 3 is built on the commercial V-1000 press. The Premium 1, Shop 2 and Shop 3 packages use the heavier industrial V-2000 press. All are complete shops — the right one depends on your volume and budget.

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.
