What Makes the Riley Hopkins 360 the Pro’s Choice for Manual Printing

What Makes the Riley Hopkins 360 the Pro’s Choice for Manual Printing  | Screenprinting.com

Robb Cummings |

When you’ve been in the screen printing game as long as Ryan Moor, you know a solid press when you feel one. On a recent trip to Honduras, Ryan stepped back on a manual press he wasn’t used to. It sparked a question: How does the Riley Hopkins 360 really hold up? Back in the States, he jumped straight onto the 360 and the difference was immediate.

Built Like a Tank, Moves Like a Pro

The Riley Hopkins 360 is solid. Not just heavy-duty, but well-balanced. It locks in registration and rotates with ease. Every part of this press was engineered for control, from the detent wheel to the center shaft. When you're running long jobs or dialing in detail, this press keeps up.

One Press for Every Screen and Platen

Whether you're working with manual or auto-size screens, the 360 has you covered. Pallet placement and print positioning align with ROQ automatics. And when you’re switching up jobs, it's compatible with all standard Riley platens, from youth and adult wood platens to the leg and sleeve honeycomb platen for tricky prints. It’s flexibility without compromise.

Clamps That Don’t Quit

The 360 side clamps are sturdy and easy to adjust. Once your screen’s in place, it’s locked in tight. No off-contact tabs, no shifting mid-job. Just set it and get clean prints, every time.

Off Contact Without the Guesswork

A single knob raises or lowers the entire screen evenly. You don’t have to shim or fidget with the corners. Quick adjustments mean faster setups, better contact, and sharper prints.

Dialed-In Micros with No Drift

Spring-loaded micro registration makes fine-tuning feel effortless. Small movements are responsive and exact. When you loosen the knobs, the springs snap into action for immediate alignment. This is real precision, built for real production.

Efficiency on press isn’t just about the press. Pair your 360 with the Ryonet Speed Screen Cart to keep screens, squeegees, and tools organized and mobile. With 14 slots and locking casters, you can roll between jobs and reload without slowing down. It’s one of the smartest upgrades for shops that move fast and print often.
