ROQ Fit – Compact, Powerful, and Built for Screen Printers Who Demand More from Less

ROQ US

The ROQ FIT is the most compact automatic screen printing press on the market — and the easiest path from manual printing into real production automation. With an 11.3 ft diameter and a base narrow enough to fit through a standard door (32″ wide), the FIT slots into a two-car garage, home studio, or tight corner of a busy shop where a larger auto press simply can’t go. Don’t let the size fool you: the FIT delivers up to 1,000 prints per hour with ROQ’s signature ±0.001″ registration precision, runs as a 4-color × 8-pallet single-operator press, and handles sleeves, tags, short runs, and simple prints your main press shouldn’t be bothered with. Mobile design — the FIT can be moved without re-leveling. Perfect for startups, home-based shops, manual printers moving up, or larger shops adding a dedicated sleeve/tag press. Built to fit. Built to print. Built to last.

See the ROQ FIT in Action

Watch how the FIT brings genuine automatic-press production to spaces where a full-size auto simply won’t fit — garage shops, home studios, and tight corners of busy production floors. The same ±0.001″ registration precision as the flagship ECO, in an 11.3 ft footprint that fits through any standard door.

Why River City Supply

Same ROQ FIT. Better Buying Experience.

An automatic ROQ press is a 15–20 year production investment — not a checkout-page decision. You deserve an equipment partner who’ll spec it right the first time, coordinate installation with experienced trades, and stand behind the purchase for the full life of the machine.

Why the FIT Is the Most Compact Automatic

📏 11.3 ft Diameter — Fits in a 2-Car Garage

The FIT has one of the smallest footprints of any automatic press on the market. An 11.3 ft diameter puts it in shops that couldn’t otherwise fit an automatic — home studios, garage startups, tight corners of busy production floors. With a 32″ base width, it fits through any standard commercial or residential door.

🚪 Truly Mobile — No Leveling Required

Unlike larger automatic presses that need to be bolted down and leveled, the FIT can be moved without re-leveling. Weighing 1,764 lbs, it’s heavy enough to be stable but light enough to relocate if your shop changes or if you want to reorganize. Game-changer for flexible production floors.

⚡ Up to 1,000 Prints Per Hour — Real Production Speed

Despite the compact size, the FIT delivers genuine production speed. At 1,000 pieces/hour on 4-color plastisol, it keeps up with sleeves, tags, simple graphics, and short runs that would otherwise tie up your main press.

🎯 ±0.001″ Index Precision — Same as the Flagship

Registration precision is the same spec as the ECO and NEXT: ±0.001″ (±0.025mm). ROQ didn’t compromise on the critical quality spec to hit the compact size — the FIT produces prints with the same tight register as the big-shop ROQs.

🔧 4-Color × 8-Pallet Single-Operator Configuration

Fixed 4-color, 8-pallet configuration is purpose-built for single-operator efficiency. Loads easily, sets up fast, runs intuitively. Ideal for 4-color process, spot-color on light tees, multi-color sleeves, or short runs.

🖥️ Same Pro Features — Micro-Registration, LCD Touchscreen, Laser Pointing

Micro registration, laser alignment pointing, high-lift heads with independent controls, central off-contact, intuitive LCD touchscreen for flash and stroke control. The FIT is compact, not stripped down.

🎛️ Independent High-Lift Heads + Central Off-Contact

Each print head lifts independently for screen cleaning, and central off-contact adjustment keeps setup fast. Same workflow operators use on larger ROQs — easier training if you’re coming from a manual and stepping up, or running the FIT alongside a bigger press.

👕 Purpose-Built for Sleeves, Tags, and Specialty Prints

Many larger shops buy a FIT specifically as a second press to handle the sleeve prints, neck-tag replacements, pocket prints, and short-run simple work that shouldn’t tie up their main production press. The FIT fits neatly in the corner and absorbs all those “nuisance jobs.”

🏁 The Easiest Step From Manual to Automatic

If you’re a manual printer transitioning to automation, the FIT is the most approachable ROQ platform — lower investment, smaller footprint, simpler to operate, and the registration precision you need to start delivering auto-press quality immediately.

🔄 Stampinator Compatibility — Convert to Heat Press

The FIT can convert into a heat press with the optional Stampinator accessory — handling up to 400 transfers per hour for DTF, screen print transfers, vinyl, and specialty heat applications. Two machines in one footprint.

🛡️ 3-Year ROQ Solid Warranty — Parts, Labor & Travel

Same premium warranty coverage as every other ROQ press — parts, labor, AND technician travel covered. For a compact entry-level auto, having full ROQ Solid Warranty support is a meaningful differentiator.

💎 Built by the Same Engineering Team — Not a Budget Line

The FIT is not a “cheap ROQ” or a stripped-down sub-brand. It’s engineered by the same team that builds the flagship ECO, using the same drivetrain principles, registration philosophy, and build standards. Compact, not cheapened.

✓ Covered by the ROQ Solid Warranty

The Industry’s Only Named Equipment Warranty

Every ROQ FIT is covered by the ROQ Solid Warranty — the only named warranty program in the automatic screen-print equipment industry. Standard coverage includes parts, labor, AND technician travel — meaning if something goes wrong, you don’t pay for the part, shipping, tech time, or travel costs when a ROQ technician needs to come onsite.

Coverage periods vary by configuration. For the full ROQ Solid Warranty document specific to your ROQ FIT build, call us at (512) 454-0505 — we include the current warranty PDF with every quote.

💰 Equipment Financing Available

Finance Your ROQ FIT — Cash Flow Stays Intact

Equipment financing is available on every ROQ press through our financing partner. Section 179 tax advantages may apply for qualifying businesses — own the equipment outright with payments structured to fit your shop’s cash flow. Many shops find the automation productivity gains cover most of the monthly financing payment from the first production run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the ROQ FIT really for?
Three main customer profiles: (1) Manual printers moving to auto — the FIT is the most approachable entry point into automation. (2) Home-based or garage startups — it physically fits where larger presses don’t. (3) Large shops wanting a dedicated sleeve/tag press — the FIT handles simple prints so your main press stays on high-value production. Call us and we’ll help you figure out if the FIT is right for your situation.
Will it really fit in a 2-car garage?
Yes. 11.3 ft diameter + 32″ base width means it fits through any standard door and installs in a 2-car garage with working room for operators. Most garage installs have room for the press, one flash dryer, and a small work table with ~5 ft clearance around the press. Send us a rough sketch of your space and we’ll confirm fit.
Is the FIT 400 or 1,000 prints per hour?
ROQ International officially publishes 1,000 prints/hour as the FIT’s maximum production speed. Some third-party retailers cite 400/hour, which typically reflects realistic single-operator sustained production on multi-color jobs rather than the theoretical max. In practice: expect 400–600/hour on typical multi-color plastisol work, up to 1,000/hour on 1–2 color simple runs at optimal load speed.
Can I add more colors later?
No — the FIT is a fixed 4-color × 8-pallet configuration and is not expandable. If you know you’ll need 6+ colors in the next 3 years, the ROQ YOU (starts at 1 color, expands to 20) is likely a better fit even though it’s a larger investment and footprint. Call us — we’ll help you pick honestly.
How does it compare to other entry-level automatics?
The FIT competes against entry-level automatics from M&R (Kruzer), Workhorse, and others. Its differentiators: the smallest footprint in the category, ±0.001″ registration precision (same as the flagship), and the full ROQ Solid Warranty with travel covered. Ask us to walk through specific competitor comparisons — we’ve installed the FIT and major competitors alongside each other and can give you an honest take.
Can I really move it around my shop?
Yes — unlike larger automatics that need to be bolted down and re-leveled, the FIT can be relocated without re-leveling. At 1,764 lbs, you’ll want a pallet jack or forklift, but moves that used to require a rigging crew and a full day now take an hour or two. Great for shops that reorganize periodically.
What about flash placement with only 4 colors?
The FIT’s design lets you position flash units in the open spaces between the 4 print heads — so you can run a full 4-color underbase + flash + top colors job without giving up a print head to the flash. That’s unusually capable for a compact press and is part of why the FIT punches above its weight class on 4-color process work.
What’s the ROI compared to staying manual?
Rough math: a skilled manual printer produces 60–80 shirts/hour on 4-color work; the FIT produces 400–600/hour. That’s 6–8× throughput with the same operator. For a shop doing 500+ shirts/week in multi-color work, the FIT typically pays back in 18–30 months via increased capacity, reduced per-shirt labor cost, and the new jobs you can win because you can quote multi-color auto prices. We can model your specific numbers — call us with your volume.
What does the ROQ Solid Warranty cover?
Parts, labor, AND technician travel — same coverage as the flagship ECO. Coverage periods vary by component; we send the current warranty PDF with every quote.
