Riley Hopkins 250 Multi Station Printing Press
Product Information
The product is a multi-station press that includes a main press core assembly, 16×16 MDF platens with neck, print station assembly with gate, and a hardware kit. The Riley 250 print station mounting hardware kit is included, as well as the Riley 250 bump stop hardware. The product also comes with mounting hardware and a clamping head assembly.
Product Usage Instructions
Tools Required:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Two 9/16 wrenches
Step 1
Install the spring assemblies with the hooks facing upward. Lower the print head assemblies until they rest on the lower stop bolt. Repeat this step for the remaining print head assemblies. Hooks must be facing up.
Step 2
Install the upper stop bolts and rubber sleeves. Two 9/16 wrenches are required for this step. Do not overtighten the bolts. This will cause resistance in the print head hinge point. Repeat this step for the remaining print head assemblies.
Step 3
Mount the press base to a sturdy table top with supplied mounting screws. A Phillips screwdriver is required for this step.
Step 4
Install the print stations with supplied hardware. Ensure the number on the print station matches the number on the center rotary. Failure to do so will shift the platens out of alignment. Do not fully tighten at this time. They must be snug but loose enough to adjust with bumps of the hand.
Step 5
Install the 3/16 Roll Pins.
Step 6
Install the platen assembly onto the tubular arm of the press. When the platen is in the desired location, first lock down the side knob. Lastly, tighten down the lower locking knobs. The platen can be adjusted front-to-back to help position the image onto the desired location of the substrate.
Multi-station Press Overview
The Riley 250 multi-stations are 12″ from the bottom of the mounting feet to the top of the platens. A table height of approximately 23″ is recommended to achieve the common overall platen height of 35″ from the ground.
Tools Required
- Two 9/16” wrenches
- One Philips screwdriver
