I need a good solid 6 color manual press for growing business. I may be a little picky, had some bad experience with an older press not holding registration well.
Located in Northern Arizona, which likely means I will be driving some distance to pick up. I'm looking in the Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque areas, but may consider traveling farther for the right press.
Any leads appreciated.

Re: Wanted: 6 Color Manual press
I'm relocating due to my spouse's job and not taking my screen print business with me. Selling my lightly used one year old Riley Hopkins 6 Color 4 Station Press with 16x16" MDF Platens and 4 aluminum platens. Will sale all for $2,500.
Not sure if we can work out the delivery. Oklahoma City, OK is 863 miles from Flagstaff and about half way between Flagstaff and Atlanta. Without platens and arms attached, it will fit in a mini van or truck.
Below is info on the press.
The Riley Hopkins 6 Color 4 Station Press takes up about an 7' Square Area.
290 lbs. 23" screen capacity.
Platens and arms will unbolt to make it easier to move.
Manufacturer says: This is one of our most popular presses! Stacked up against any of the competition worldwide, this press comes out on top! Designed for ease of set-up, and ease of use...the Win Series Six color rotary press with Joystick Registration fills the needs of most shops. The most compact press with 23" screen capacity, it has tilt control for warped screens, nice off contact, simple adjustments, and bulletproof construction. Its a strong, lightweight press that is easy to use all day long. Our wide-base, extended registration system gives you a very wide, stable grip point to hold each printhead solidly in the registration gates. 2" center shaft, and wall-to-wall low-drag tapered roller bearings make this a very stable press to print on.
Joystick Registration is a brand new way to register jobs! The system is very easy to use, allowing you greater speed to make major moves, while having terrific control over tight adjustments. Here's how it works; Tighten the screen in the screen clamp, and adjust the screen to lay flat on the platen. Next loosen the two Reggie knobs to let the screen float freely on the platen. Grab the outer end of the screen with your left hand, and place the heel of your right hand on the Reggie knobs. Use your thumb and index finger to move the Joystick knob. Your hands naturally follow each other, so throughout the entire registration process, you always have your eyes on the image! It's simple, fast, accurate, and just what you need to win the registration race!
Remember...if you're into Micro's we also make very precise Micro's too!
