Starting A Print Shop with A 4-Color Manual Screen Press

Not every shop needs automation on day one. A four-color manual press lets a new business print multi-color work without the capital and floor space of an automatic line — and it teaches registration, squeegee angle, and ink control in a way that transfers directly to larger machines. The choices are simple: one station for compact spaces and short runs, two stations when you want to print and unload in parallel. Add a one-color single-station unit for sampling and small jobs, and a curing unit to set ink between colors. Manual presses also earn their place in established shops for samples, oversized pieces, and jobs too small to justify setting up an automatic. Doyan supplies 1-color 1-station, 4-color 1-station, and 4-color 2-station presses, plus screens, squeegees, and curing equipment.
