I talked to the guys at Vastex about upgrading my press to put the side clamps on my manual. They told me not to and that it won't hold registration as well. I've never had a registration issue with my V-2000, so I decided to skip on getting the side clamps.
Good to hear you haven't had issues, but the advice they gave just isn't right. Side clamps drastically reduce deflection and also cover more surface area on the screen frame so it's held a lot more solid. They'll hold registration for thousands of pieces without a worry
Lee, it’s absolutely amazing to sit back and look at where you started from and to see where you’re at now! Absolutely an inspiration to my artistic/small biz (ahem, “big biz”) goals!!! Just living proof that with hard work, dedication, discipline and determination that you can get anywhere you want to be! 🙌👏🎉✌️
And... that press has been added to the spank bank... I just wish the white was grabber green, but that would be my colors not yours. They really knocked it outta the park for ya. Very nice! I am quite envious.
The incredible Lee Stuart, Mr Inspiration, thank you for yet another awesome video & an equal amount of inspiration. I can only dream of being in your shoes but dreaming is where big things start, you are living proof of that. Like most others here, I await your next video in the Lee Stuart printing saga , keep em coming champion, thank you.
Sweet set up, we have about the same in our shop and other than using the PRU to line up the art on the manual, the reg pallet doesnt fit on ours with the side clamps. Have you tried it on yours yet? Using the PRU to reg the film is still a big help would would have been cool if the pallet could be used on press too.
I haven't used it yet but I put it on there and saw the issue with the one side. I'm planning to try clamping one side first and then sliding the other into place
Does the PRu peg pallet that goes on the press fit the manual? I think it was actually too large (long) to work on the 500 manual without hitting the frame when you bring the print head down. PRu will get you close, but you really need direct to screen and a PRu or tri lock to really have it work as intended
That is one seriously (starts with) S (ends with) ICK looking print press. Super Jelly, you deserve it man, fricking awesome, looking forward to some great stuff.
We have a ROQ Next P14XL & ROQprint You P12XL Love watching your videos, honesty and fixes that you share. Like the air supply connection to the ROQ…Makes you think why they thought it was a good idea. Congrats on the shop completion!
Holy shit! The attention to detail on those cutouts is top notch. Congratulations dude, you've worked your ass off to get to this point, and now that the shop is finally done I can't wait to see gold pour our if it🤙🏼
Awesome! That is a badass press! Congratulations on getting everything setup in the shop. Working with my OM Tech laser, sublimation and vinyl in my bedroom. One day I’ll have a shop like this. Very inspiring as always
Love that press, if I wasn't in the uk I'd ask to come and learn the whole process of printing from you, as its one thing watching videos but actually doing it is key. great videos and funny outtakes.
It is great to see your entrepreneurial drive and passion since the beginning of this business. I am happy for your success. It looks to my like Ryonet and Riley Hopkins see your future continuing to be epic as well.
Seems to be exactly the same as Riley 500 series with a smaller base and customs deco. Nothing really new or exclusive as far as the mechanics of the press, however it does look nice.
Man is your shop ever looking sweet. Great job putting in the fucking time man, it really shows. Auto to make the $$$$’s and manual to pull off some really rad shit.
Just amazing!!! Your are done ✅ ma men, congratulations your printing shop is finally ready... Ps. On the test print please let us see all the details of these new machines please. Mostly the one 🤔 that print transfer pepper.
Man that shit is 🔥. That’s the best looking piece of equipment in there. Congrats my guy!! Can’t wait for the machines to fire up and see your amazing videos!!
My old job at a tshirt screen printing shop was named TOPNOTCH screen printing shop an this video makes me miss working there…. Ps the shop caught on fire can’t wait for more videos keep up the amazing work
Holy CRAP that looks amazing - was supposed to get back to filming myself now, but saw this mystery crate video shop up so hade watch it first - good lordy what a beast!
My wife and I are just getting into shirt printing for her business. Do you have any tips for burning screens? Right now we are using vinyl for the designs. Love your videos man.
Grab yourself an exposure calculator. A real one, not those free download things that companies try to pass off. What you're looking for is in this video I made a while back ua-cam.com/video/MJF3HK2s52w/v-deo.html
Always need a manual press.. you should add on to the shop as soon as possible. You will run out of space real quick. When an auto comes into the picture everything changes. Everything
Good to hear, thanks! We archive every piece of artwork we create here along with any working files, it really does take up much data storage. I also save all of my separations files and sticker/heat transfer files from every job that comes through here. Basically any bit of data related to what we produce is saved somewhere
@@leestuart38 does this mean you have a storage data like AWS cloud or a bunch off SSD external hard drives? Lol.. just wondering because I am dealing with this problem at the moment.. thanks for responding so fast! 👍
My gawd! They built you a beautiful press. And won't even work with me to get a good shipping price to Hawaii. 🤣🤣🤣 Super stoked for you though. Been a long road! Well deserved.
I've no interest in tee shirts but I come for your attitude! Its like going to the bar after a hard days work. Your attitude is infectious! It's worthy. It can be applied to any endeavor. It's like getting an infusion. I've been motivated all my life but in retirement.....My sign business pays all the bills and put money in my pocket and I love every single day...even the bad days. You've no idea how many times I think of your mantra. I start at 4-5 am and sometimes I'm still at it at 9PM. Is it "Do the f-ing work!"? or simply "Do The Work?" DO THE WORK! is a vibrational frequency that touches this bible thumping, gun toting, right wing, free market capitalist pig.
Since I use the EZ grip I've never needed one, because it allows use of all 4 edges of the squeegee. But with the auto here I plan on getting something soon
Anytime I watch LEE, the inspiration I get is beyond imagination. Lee some of us really appreciate your works and video. The fact that you shoot the videos and edit every footage yourself, speaks about the kind of person you are. Thank you.
Love watching your progress man! You’ve definitely inspired me in my journey building my print shop. Thanks for the inspiration and hard work you put in for your craft! 💪🏾

Exciting!! Cant wait to see some production.
I cried watching this. It's soo beautiful!

Thanks so much 👊🏻. Keep putting in the work!
Glad you liked it 👌 We know its going to make some sick prints
You guys killed it. Thank you!
I am so glad you love it Lee! I can't wait to see the awesome things you will do with it. Keep in touch man. I always got your back!
Thanks so much for everything you did man, this thing is bad ass!
That custom machine is fire!
Thanks!🤘🏻
This is how presses should look. So fuckin rad seeing Puncture on this beast!
Congratulations on the finished shop. Keep the great work up. Old age. When you get old you will know it.
I'm getting up there 😂. Thanks man
That is about the coolest press I have ever seen. Congrats on the new toy. I know you are going to enjoy it.
Thanks man 🤘🏻
That is a beautiful press, Ryonet should offer custom press options. I am excited for the next video.
And... that press has been added to the spank bank... I just wish the white was grabber green, but that would be my colors not yours. They really knocked it outta the park for ya. Very nice! I am quite envious.
You are still our hero.
That press is sick man!!! Love watching all your updates!!!
Thanks a lot. Time to print now 🤘🏻
You do it right. Totally agree if the space looks and feels good the work is good keep rockin it out.
Absolutely. A shop is always a reflection of the work it puts out in my opinion

Hell yea! Can’t wait to see everything turned on and pumping shit out
Me too. Very soon now 🙌🏻

Getting it off that pallet was the icing on the cake 😙👌
Stupid hidden screws 😂
Damnnn that press is beautiful! Whole shop looks badass!
Thanks!
Great press. Love how the shop has come together. Its about time RYONET makes side clamps standard on all their 300-350 presses without an up charge
Does the PRu peg pallet that goes on the press fit the manual? I think it was actually too large (long) to work on the 500 manual without hitting the frame when you bring the print head down.
PRu will get you close, but you really need direct to screen and a PRu or tri lock to really have it work as intended
I need that press with my logo on it! Great shop Bro!👑😎👍🏽👍🏽
That press is sick af bro!!!!
The shop looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Thanks for sharing, been following your channels a couple of years now and I have learned a lot
Thanks a lot 🙌🏻
Bro I remember watching your first vids learning this to see where you are now is a true inspiration, sheeeeeeeeeesh !!! you the man!!!
Thanks a lot 🤘🏻
Its going to be exciting to see you run all these new units. Your shop is incredible man, keep up the hard work.
Thanks dude, can't wait 🤘🏻
Awesome press it's like jewellery!
That is one seriously (starts with) S (ends with) ICK looking print press. Super Jelly, you deserve it man, fricking awesome, looking forward to some great stuff.
Thanks man!
Hell ya!!! glad everything is put together for you my man! can't wait to see what you turn out of the new shop!!
Time to get to work now 🤘🏻
We have a ROQ Next P14XL & ROQprint You P12XL

I'll never understand that barbed fitting 😂. Thanks!
GOOD SHIT BUDDY GLAD ALL IS COMING TOGETHER
Man that is so fucking rad!!! So stoked to see how far you have come, looking forward to seeing what badassery comes out of the new shop!
Thanks a lot man 👊🏻
Holy shit! The attention to detail on those cutouts is top notch. Congratulations dude, you've worked your ass off to get to this point, and now that the shop is finally done I can't wait to see gold pour our if it🤙🏼
Now it's time to press on the gas and make some shit happen 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 hell yeah 🤙🏼
Awesome! That is a badass press! Congratulations on getting everything setup in the shop. Working with my OM Tech laser, sublimation and vinyl in my bedroom. One day I’ll have a shop like this. Very inspiring as always
That's how I started too, minus the laser. I still don't have one of those but I want one. Keep at it dude 🤘🏻
Love that press, if I wasn't in the uk I'd ask to come and learn the whole process of printing from you, as its one thing watching videos but actually doing it is key. great videos and funny outtakes.
That press is so awesome mahn...Please give me the leads as to where I can purchase. And also the estimated price
Man, that is sick! So so nice.
It is great to see your entrepreneurial drive and passion since the beginning of this business. I am happy for your success. It looks to my like Ryonet and Riley Hopkins see your future continuing to be epic as well.
I appreciate the kind words 🤘🏻
After cracking 20-25 of those plastic knobs, I made aluminum ones.
Ryonet should have replaced all those plastic knobs with aluminum ones.
That is a thing of BEAUTY!!! 👏👏👏👏
Seems to be exactly the same as Riley 500 series with a smaller base and customs deco.
Nothing really new or exclusive as far as the mechanics of the press, however it does look nice.
Man is your shop ever looking sweet. Great job putting in the fucking time man, it really shows. Auto to make the $$$$’s and manual to pull off some really rad shit.
Thanks man. That's exactly the plan, I need to have something to work on those high density skills you've got
That thing is so dope. I wouldn’t even want to dirty it up with prints, lol, it’s almost like a piece of artwork.
Good thing I keep a clean shop 😂
Dude, that press is siiick!
Just amazing!!! Your are done ✅
ma men, congratulations your printing shop is finally ready...
Ps. On the test print please let us see all the details of these new machines please. Mostly the one 🤔 that print transfer pepper.
bad ass Lee! always a fun time watching your stuff! your the reason why I got into printing.
Always cool to hear things like that. Thanks man.
Mate!!!!!!!!!WHAAAAAAAAAT the Dickens! Love it!
Man everything about this pretty looks so badass! They killed it! Also you throw in some sick transitions in this video as always.
Been wanting to do that spinning press transition for a while 🙌🏻
@@leestuart38 it’s so good
Man that shit is 🔥. That’s the best looking piece of equipment in there. Congrats my guy!! Can’t wait for the machines to fire up and see your amazing videos!!
Thanks a lot. I'm so pumped on how it turned out 🙌🏻
All this equipment. Now let's see some print jobs.
I make the videos I want to make
So dope congrats this is amazing looking forward to seeing you print on this beast.
Thanks man 🤘🏻
My old job at a tshirt screen printing shop was named TOPNOTCH screen printing shop an this video makes me miss working there…. Ps the shop caught on fire can’t wait for more videos keep up the amazing work
The very last piece dude 😎.. its printing time!
Holy CRAP that looks amazing - was supposed to get back to filming myself now, but saw this mystery crate video shop up so hade watch it first - good lordy what a beast!
Happy to finally open that box!
Finally!!! been waiting to see this press!!!
Me too! 😂
My wife and I are just getting into shirt printing for her business. Do you have any tips for burning screens? Right now we are using vinyl for the designs.

Great video and awesome press! When are we going to see that DTG printer put through its paces?
Very soon. In the next couple of weeks
Holy.....That is so sick.
Always need a manual press.. you should add on to the shop as soon as possible. You will run out of space real quick. When an auto comes into the picture everything changes. Everything
That'll be the next upgrade 🤘🏻
Esto me inspira a seguir! Gracias man!
On another level! Keep grinding!
1. The archspire shirt 2. You truly are such a goat
If it is anything like the Riley-Roq, you are going to hate it.
I was a beta tester for the Riley-Roq, Ryonet refused to take it back . :|
It isn't, totally different press
shop looks great, is your print and cut equipment in the garage, whens the house tour
It sure is. I think I'm going to do a full shop tour in the next video or the one after
@@leestuart38 awesome, I do HTV vinyl so curious what your new setup looks like for the print cut
Hey Lee! Great vids man! Inspiring me daily! Thanks!! I have a question, how do you save all your Adobe Illustrator/ Photoshop files ?
Good to hear, thanks! We archive every piece of artwork we create here along with any working files, it really does take up much data storage. I also save all of my separations files and sticker/heat transfer files from every job that comes through here. Basically any bit of data related to what we produce is saved somewhere
@@leestuart38 does this mean you have a storage data like AWS cloud or a bunch off SSD external hard drives? Lol.. just wondering because I am dealing with this problem at the moment.. thanks for responding so fast! 👍
Awesome to see your done with you shop bro. Do you think you would add on another mental building on to your existing shop?
Thanks man. I definitely need more space so an addition is definitely in my future, I just have to make some money first 😂
Hell yes! Question though, what was your reasoning for going 6 pallet over 8?
It only comes in 6. Honestly anything more than 6 is kind of useless on a manual press unless you've got a few people working on it at once
@@leestuart38 fair call. I'm running 4 and have been eyeing off an 8. Then again, I'm not running an auto yet
does your shop have a darkroom? if not what kind of lights do you use to make the emulsion safe to work with?
No darkroom in here. All of my lighting is LED which doesn't emit enough UV light to harm emulsion, and there's no windows
Mate, that looks sick 🔥
Thanks dude 👊🏻
Nice Archspire shirt, dude! Got that one as well! :D
My gawd! They built you a beautiful press. And won't even work with me to get a good shipping price to Hawaii. 🤣🤣🤣
Super stoked for you though. Been a long road! Well deserved.
I appreciate that 👊🏻
I subscribed watching this video... Lovely setup... Working hard to get there one day...
Hell ya thanks for the sub. Welcome🤘🏻

👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Incredible!
What type of squeegee sharpener do you use and how often would you sharpen ?
Since I use the EZ grip I've never needed one, because it allows use of all 4 edges of the squeegee. But with the auto here I plan on getting something soon
@@leestuart38 you pull, I push… so I could not use those types of squeegees
My Man! Thats bad ass!
Super sick! 🤘🤘
What a beast !!!
GAMETIME!
F****K YE Congrats that this is a beast.
Thanks man
you should give away those stainless steel logos to some lucky few lol
Haha no way, I've got a spot picked out for all four. There's already one in the shop 😎
