Vastex Registration System (VRS)

The Vastex Registration System (VRS) is a game-changing pin registration system designed to streamline screen alignment and significantly reduce setup time in the screen-printing process. By allowing users to align positives onto screens off-press, the VRS ensures perfect registration of all colors on any rear clamp screen printing press, eliminating the guesswork and reducing wasted materials.

This efficient and easy-to-use system simplifies multi-color registration into four quick steps, making it ideal for professional screen printers looking for improved accuracy, consistency, and faster production turnaround.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Efficient Setup Process – Attach positives to setup sheets using the alignment grid/pinboard, ensuring precise positioning before screen registration.
• Pin Registration System for Accuracy – Uses a pin board with screen stops to locate and attach positives to screens with exact alignment.
• Consistent Multi-Color Alignment – Ensures perfect registration across multiple screens, resulting in uniform, high-quality prints.
• Reduces Setup Time & Material Waste – Minimizes adjustments on press, allowing for faster, more productive printing sessions.
• Compatible with Any Rear Clamp Screen Printing Press – Works with single-color and multi-color presses, making it versatile for various shop setups.

Recommended Applications:

✔ Multi-Color Screen Printing – Achieve perfect color registration without time-consuming adjustments.
✔ Professional & High-Volume Print Shops – Increases efficiency and consistency for production printing.
✔ Screen Pre-Registration for Faster Workflow – Ideal for reducing misalignment and wasted prints.
✔ Single & Multi-Station Printing Setups – Works with all rear clamp presses, enhancing any printing environment.

How It Works:

1. Attach Positives – Use the alignment grid/pinboard to secure positives onto setup sheets.
2. Align to Screens – Place positives in register with the pin system, ensuring exact positioning.
3. Burn Screens – Expose screens with pre-registered artwork, maintaining precise alignment.

2. Rapid Screen Burning: After attaching positives to screens, users can proceed to burn all screens on any exposure unit in register. This step ensures that each screen is properly exposed, with artwork elements aligned according to the established registration standard.
4. Quick Setup on Press: Once screens are burned, users can effortlessly locate and clamp each screen onto their press in register using the Vastex pallet jig and corresponding screen stops. With this setup, screens are ready to print in less than 3 minutes per screen, allowing for efficient production and minimal downtime.

Benefits for Screen Printing Shops:

• Increased Productivity: The VRS enables larger shops to boost output dramatically by transferring screen registration from the printing department to the art department. Additionally, one-man shops can significantly reduce setup time and increase the accuracy of screen registration, allowing for more efficient operation and faster turnaround times.
• Improved Print Quality: By reducing registration time and improving accuracy, the VRS helps to enhance print quality and consistency. Shops can minimize rejects and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction by producing prints with precise registration and alignment.
• Cost Savings: With the VRS, shops can cut overall registration time and lost profits by 70% to 90%, resulting in substantial cost savings over time. Additionally, the system helps to create a registration standard for the shop, eliminating guesswork and random placements and promoting efficient workflow management.
• Quick ROI: The investment in the VRS can be recouped in less than one week for many shops, making it a highly cost-effective solution for improving efficiency and profitability in screen printing operations.
