Riley 250 4/1 Review
Hello and Happy Printing to you all, I purchased my Riley 250 4/1 mid-late last year. This press has made my screen printing journey so much more easier as the press is super dependable. I don't have to worry about tilt or registration and thinking that the press won't hold them. I do regret, however, hesitating about buying the press initially when I looking over presses to purchase; please, don't waste your time as I did, buy this press and you won't regret it. It's durable, sturdy, heavy, reliable, looks, and feel, professional, but most importantly does everything its promise to do, plus super easy to setup and get printing. I hope this review is helpful to someone looking to upgrade their workshop. Happy printing friends!
Worth the purchase
Very high-quality, sturdy and pretty simple to put together. When I needed help, the customer service was great! Very happy with my purchase.
Sturdy, easy to assemble!
Ordered this on a whim after having the DIY kit, and was a major upgrade. This machine is very sturdy, and all the parts seem to be machined very well. It's kind of heavy, so you may need help moving it after it's assembled. I recommend assembling it where you intend to install it and this won't be an issue. Comes in two boxes, took about a week to come in. Some details- one person can assemble this alone, just don't rush it and you'll be fine. All the parts come well wrapped and in individually wrapped packs that are labeled, which made this easy. You hear them say, "you need a 9/16" wrench" like 100 times in their videos. Well, guess what. This kit even comes with the 9/16" wrench! Top that! I had it put together in about 35 minutes, and that was without rushing. I could have done it faster. Seems to be a very good purchase. Can't wait to make some money off this machine.
So Glad I Took The Plunge
I had debated on whether to upgrade from my homemade wooden press and hinge clamps to a larger press so I could do multiple color orders. Would I be able to do this? Would it be worth it? YES. Yes, it has all been worth it. This press came in two boxes and it was relatively easy to put together. Using YouTube as a reference as well, I was able to learn all about the XY Micros, Tilt, Off Contact and more. I'm elated with this press. I only wish I would have really bit the bullet and purchased the 6x4, but that would require more room in my basement, and I am almost to that point now. If you're looking to make the jump from a single color single station; get this press. It's easy to use, very durable, and it's quality. The staff at Ryonet are wonderful as well, should you ever need to reach out to them for assistence. The orders I am able to handle with this press have enabled me to be able to now purchase a conveyor dryer, and it's only been 8 months.... THANK YOU!!
