I have that same press. One trick I use to adjust off contact and tilt, as well as when I register multiple screens, is that I have a large piece of picture frame glass (it had been previously used for keeping film flat while burning screens) on the platen. When I loosen the bolts for off contact and tilt, I have a screen in the press and let it rest flat on the glass and then tighten the bolts. Likewise, I put my film on the platen, for registration, and then the glass on top. It makes it a little easier to move the screen around and see the registration marks. Hope this is helpful.

I have a cheap chinesium press that I use with no micros, and I've done six color halftone, simulated process with much difficulty but a lot of first time spot on registration prints. I use 3 top an bottom very fine registration marks always in the same place and I have the same regmarks drawn on the platen with the finest pen not sharpie. I line them up in the exact spot and readjust until they're regged up perfectly.

One thing I do is walk the screen up or down, loosening one clamp, tap with a rubber mallet VERY lightly, tighten the other clamp, loosen the corresponding clamp then repeat. I could set this up with no micros faster than 3 hours.

That's a smart technique! It’s all about finding what works best for you, and it sounds like you’ve got it down to a science.

"Dude, this just isn't lining up." Every screenprinter has been there. Sometimes, for whatever reason, one color just doesn't want to cooperate, and it can take you forever to get it set right.

If you add micros to starter presses, they wouldn't really be starter presses anymore, you know? Many printers love them for live printing and more easily registerable multicolor prints. They're a great starter press at a great price
