I made a mistake buying my Riley Hopkins press

BUY THE MICROS. When I bought this press, I didn’t really understand micro registration and the disadvantage I’d be at by not having it. Much like most lessons I’ve learned, I learned it the hard way.
What is micro registration???
Micro registration allows you to register, or line up, your screens/art work better and easier on press. Without it, you’re stuck physically moving the screen around in the clamp. This can (and most likely will) lead to the art being out of registration or not lined up properly. This really shows when trying to print on dark shirts when you need an underbase.
Thank you so much for watching. If you need any help or advice with purchasing equipment or have any questions, feel free to comment or email me @ [e-mail]

I'm in the same boat, I just bought mine about 8 months ago and today I am upgrading to a 4-4. I seen your video prior to buying but never though I was going to need it...thanks for sharing.

Gday . Thanks for the tip before I bought any type of unit in Australia I had know idea what micro meant. Cheers Benny

You’re not the only person that’s complained about this.

[@BruceLeef]

Thanx for sharing... im Interested in this setup.. you might have changed my mind 🤷🤦‍♂️

[@leespiderpod]

Good to know, thanks. The RH 250 with micro in the uk is 2800 dollars!!

[@Menacis_]

I regret buying the same one :( Wish i just spent the extra couple $100 for the micros

[@HelmetVanga]

I believe there is an add on with registration. I have seen a video they replace that part and installed an attachment that has micro registration.

[@mokebang7526]

Appreciate your info!

[@abrahamsantos5114]

thanks for the video it help me decide

This is a great press depending on what type of work you're getting yourself into, I print my own merch and mostly do monotone designs so I'm never in any pressure for micro registrations...and usually have 4 different designs on each print head.

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

it is a waste of money and a scam. they used to sell this with micros for the same price. as if the micro head was that much harder or expensive to manufacture.

[@VeniVidiVici444]

@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw I agree.

[@drdexter33]

Does Riley make a 150 with micro registration?

[@HelmetVanga]

So what do you recommend?

[@josephfaurie3503]

This is the 150 model. Buy the 250 model with the Micros for double the price. Next up is 300 for 6k lol

What happened to next video

[@JesseWWPCo]

Hey! I plan on doing it within the next few days!

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

It is a piece of crap without micros. No 4-color machine should not have micros.

[@Ramellosugahill]

So you can add micros to the 150 or you gotta order the 250?

[@Thefoundation1st]

You got to order it I suggest going for the 1000 dollar one more expensive but.. like always you get what you pay for

[@JesseWWPCo]

I added micros to mine. The heads are a little annoying to use just because of how they function, but they get the job done. Unfortunately, it cost me close to $800

[@Ramellosugahill]

@@Thefoundation1st agreement I just have 150 I barely use it

[@urjnlegend]

​@@JesseWWPCo wait, can you add micros to the 150?

[@JesseWWPCo]

@@urjnlegend they used to sell the micro reg upgrade for the 150 on their website, but I just looked and I didn't see it. I think the 250 comes with micros

[@MR.BAD_IDLE]

Do you have an email or social media account that I can contact you on? It would help me a ton to be able to receive some direct advice from you, literally just a couple of questions.
