new Vastex VRS Pin Registration Station for rear and side-clamp screen printing presses features a new mobile base with flat files and storage shelf as standard, allowing film positives to be registered off-press with increased efficiency and in less floor space. Mark Vasilantone, president, said: “The addition of four drawers and a lower shelf keeps tape, T-squares, film positives, emulsion containers and other supplies readily at hand, eliminating the need to leave the station for supplies or take-up space with side tables or utility carts. The new mobile base also allows the entire station to be rolled away when not in use.”
The VRS system allows an operator to align all film positives in registration on the pin board, and maintain that registration when transferring positives onto each printing screen held in position against plastic round screen stops. Once screens are exposed, the pallet jig is secured to one

pallet of the press, allowing each screen to be held against stops before being secured to the rear or side clamp of each respective print head, maintaining screen-to-screen registration.
The VRS system accommodates wood, aluminium or retensionable screens up to 58x79cm, pallets 35 to 53cm wide, and fits rear or side-clamp presses of most makes and models.
