ROQ YOU Automatic Screen Printing Press – Built to Power Growth, Precision & Possibility
ROQ USA
The ROQ YOU is the automatic screen printing press designed to grow with your shop — the most modular press in ROQ’s carousel lineup. Configure it anywhere from 1 color × 8 pallets (entry-level automation) all the way up to 20 colors × 22 pallets (large-scale production) — and scale up over time without replacing the press. Up to 1,000 prints per hour, longest print stroke in its class for oversized graphics, AC servo-driven indexing, electric squeegees on every print head, and full compatibility with ROQ Hybrid, ROQ FLOCK, and ROQ FOIL. Built on a platform ROQ has been refining for 30+ years (dating back to the original S. Roque brand). Whether you’re moving off a manual press, expanding from 6 to 14 colors, or adding specialty effects — the YOU adapts. ROQ YOU — You Print It. You Grow It. You Own It.

Same ROQ YOU. 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 YOU 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. 8–14 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 YOU Is the Most Modular ROQ
📈 Scalable 1–20 Colors, 8–22 Pallets
The most modular automatic press in ROQ’s lineup. Start with a lean configuration (e.g., 6 colors × 10 pallets) and expand up to 20 colors × 22 pallets as your business grows — without replacing the press. The platform grows with you.
⚡ Up to 1,000 Prints Per Hour
High-speed performance for maximum output on standard plastisol production. Compares competitively to mid-tier carousels from other manufacturers while using the proven ROQ drivetrain.
📏 Longest Print Stroke in Its Class
Handle larger graphics or specialty substrates with a print stroke that outreaches typical competitors. Ideal for oversized chest prints, side seam panels, and specialty flat goods.
🔺 No-Lip Aluminum Honeycomb Platens
Lightweight, durable, ultra-flat printing surface that resists warping from flash heat exposure. The no-lip design eases garment loading and speeds operator cycle time.
⚙️ Electric Squeegees on Every Print Head
Precision-controlled print and flood strokes on every station — not just master-controlled. Dial in independent speed, stroke length, angle, and lift per head for job-specific optimization.
🎛️ Central LCD Touch Interface + Per-Head Controls
Manage the whole press from a central console, with per-head LCD control panels for granular adjustments. Every peripheral (ROQ Flash, ROQ FOIL, ROQ FLOCK) is connected to the machine structure and controllable from the central console.
🎯 PRU Compatible — Faster Setup on Repeat Jobs
Optional Positive Registration Unit integration for near-instant screen loading on repeat work. Contract printers and brand-production shops often recover the PRU cost within a year of saved setup labor.
🤖 AC Servo Indexing + AC Variator Squeegee
Electro-mechanical precision replaces pneumatic inconsistency — smoother indexing, more repeatable ink deposits, and less wear on drivetrain components vs. older pneumatic presses.
🧩 Skip Function + Laser Registration Markers
Automatically bypass unused print heads during jobs (saves cycle time on low-color runs). Optional laser registration markers speed up screen-loading alignment.
📐 Available in XL Models Up to 33″ × 39″
For shops moving into oversized/flatstock markets — beach towels, full-front fashion graphics, all-over prints. XL models add the print real estate without requiring a separate oversized press.
🎨 Vacuum Pallets (Optional)
For printing on paper, transfers, and non-garment substrates where precision hold-down matters. Opens up contract-decoration revenue streams (custom packaging, display graphics, specialty substrates).
🤝 ROQ Hybrid, FLOCK, FOIL Compatible
Full integration with ROQ’s specialty modules — add digital hybrid printing, flocking for raised textures, or foil application for premium finishes. Same press, new product lines.
🏛️ 30+ Years of Platform Refinement
The YOU descends from ROQ’s original S. Roque carousel platform dating to the 1990s. Three decades of engineering refinement, thousands of installations worldwide, and a proven drivetrain — reflected in long service life and high resale value.
Configure Your ROQ YOU
The YOU is the most configurable carousel in ROQ’s lineup — that’s its entire value proposition. Configure across all four dimensions to match exactly what your shop needs today, knowing you can expand later:
Colors (1–20)
6–8 color is the most common starting point. Plan for the colors you’ll need in 3 years — the platform expands later.
Pallets (8–22)
More pallets = more open flash positions and more colors supported. 12-pallet is the most popular mid-range config.
Print Area
400×500mm (M) · 600×800mm (L) · up to 700×1000mm / 33″×39″ (XL). XL opens oversized/flatstock revenue.
Modules & Growth Path
PRU · ROQ Hybrid · FLOCK · FOIL · Integrated Flashes · Laser Registration · Vacuum Pallets · Skip Function.
The Industry’s Only Named Equipment Warranty
Every ROQ YOU 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 YOU build, call us at (512) 454-0505 — we include the current warranty PDF with every quote.
Finance Your ROQ YOU — 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.
