Looking for a Press

[frank]

This is my first post here so I hope this is the right index.

I work for a company that screen prints on round, plastic (hdpe) "buckets"--one color. The operation is high volume (1M/year) and high speed 1-part/3-5 sec and runs continuously 24/7.

The machine we currently use is ancient and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, the data tags or manufactuer plates are missing, so I don't know from whom it was purchased.

That said, I'm researching what company builds the best machine for cylindrical plastic products and provides good service post-sale.

So far I have looked at Dubuit and Screentech. If anyone has experience with either of these brands, feedback would be welcomed.

Any info would be appreciated.

I would contact John Simmons from Printex. They make pad printers specifically for what you are doing, and his prices and service is great. Give him a call at 1 716 675 9488 and check out their website: http://www.printexusa.com

Were are you located? Do you want to use solvent inks or UV curable inks? How big are the buckets?
