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.
Description
ROQ FIT
The Compact Single-Operator Automatic Press — Fits in a 2-Car Garage, Prints Up to 1,000/Hour
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.
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.
Authorized ROQ Distributor — Direct Factory Pricing
We’re a factory-authorized ROQ dealer. We can quote the ROQ FIT at or below competitor pricing, bundle flash dryers, donut probes, conveyor dryers, and production supplies into one shipment, and consolidate freight for better rates.
An Extra Layer of Equipment Support
We’ve been speccing, selling, and installing automatic screen printing presses since 2008. When you call us, you talk to someone who’s stood next to a ROQ on a production floor — not a call-center rep reading from a PDF.
Full ROQ Solid Warranty — Industry’s Only Named Warranty
Your factory warranty stays fully intact — parts, labor, and travel covered per the ROQ Solid Warranty terms. But your first call goes to us in San Antonio. We coordinate service, source parts, and escalate to ROQ US or Portugal as needed.
Built-to-Order at the ROQ Factory
Every ROQ press is custom-built in Portugal with decades of refinement. 6–12 weeks built-to-order from the ROQ factory in Portugal. Ask us about occasional in-stock demo units and trade-in opportunities that ship faster.

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.
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.
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.
