“Unlike everybody else, I am not a screen printer. I'm a teacher... I work with 18 to 21 special needs students, teaching them life skills and job skills.” 💡

This is exactly why we host our Screen Print Experience classes.

This teacher came to our Vancouver HQ to get their school's equipment out of storage. They left with the skills needed to set their students up for future jobs.

We are grateful to play a small part in opening up new opportunities for people in communities all over the the country.

Every piece of equipment has a sweet spot, and the Rudy Press is no exception. 📸

How big can you print with the Rudy Press? Let let look at the numbers. 🛠️

Since the system is engineered for standard 20x24 screens, it comes with a maximum 14-inch squeegee and flood bar. To give yourself a safe buffer the sweet spot for your graphics is 13.25 inches wide by 12 to 13 inches tall.

Staying within this zone means your squeegee clears the design cleanly every single time. It gives you the perfect print zone for standard front and back graphics while locking in absolute consistency.

If you have your technique dialed in, you can pull a squeegee by hand and create an absolute masterpiece.
The screen does not care if a machine or human arm clears the mesh.

The real value of the Rudy Press is consistency.

Printers get tired. Your hand pressure changes between Monday morning and Friday afternoon. Your squeegee angle shifts when you are distracted or rushing to finish a job.

The Rudy Press locks your squeegee and flood bar into a fixed track, making sure shirt number 100 looks identical to shirt number 1. It puts professional, repeatable results in the hands of any printer, even someone brand new to your shop.

A few tips using PrintGRIP Tuff Sheets to give you the flexibility to adapt your setup instantly.
Mask off open areas for tanks, apply heavy web spray for fleece, or even acts as a post-press layer to give your DTF or plastisol transfers a matte, textured screen-printed finish.

See The Full Breakdown: https://www.screenprinting.com/blogs/news/top-3-screen-printing-presses-for-beginners-tested-and-reviewed
We put the top 3 beginner presses: a Pigskins & Pigtails Starter Press, a Riley Hopkins 150, and a budget blue press to the test with the same two-color water-based job.

Each has their place, depending on what you're looking for in your printing process.

The difference between struggling and succeeding comes down to workflow, setup, and expectations.

POV: You realize you've spent more on disposable screen tape this year than it costs to permanently upgrade your press setup. 🤯

Your wrists aren’t shock absorbers.
When you’re pushing or pulling ink all day, your body takes the hit. The Rudy Press flips the script.

Clamp it straight to your 20x24 screen.
Lean in and use your natural body weight to press down.

One pass. Perfect pressure. Consistent ink deposit. Your joints get a break, and your prints look crisp from the first shirt to the last. ⚡️
