If you're chasing dialed-in detail and repeatable perfection, your press better be built for it. That’s where the Riley Hopkins 360 Screen Printing Presses step up. With spring-loaded XY micros, side or back clamp options, and rock-solid registration gates, this press was made to lock in precision and keep it there.

Built for Locked-In Performance

Every part of the 360’s micro registration system is designed to eliminate guesswork. The Riley Hopkins 360 features spring-loaded XY micros for controlled, responsive movement with tactile feedback and zero drift. Once you dial it in, it stays dialed. Add in the Z-axis micro for precise off-contact control, and you’ve got total setup confidence built right into the press.
