Vastex Manual Presses — V-100, V-1000 & V-2000HD
Three press lines cover every production level — from the lightweight V-100 tabletop for first-time shops to the industrial V-2000HD with an unmatched 25-year warranty. All Vastex presses feature never-warp steel pallets, tool-free micro-registration, and modular designs that scale with your business.
Why your press is the most important investment you'll make
Your press is the foundation of every print you produce. A poorly-built press means inconsistent registration, wasted ink, and costly reprints that destroy your margins. Vastex presses deliver rock-solid stability, floating print heads for optimal ink deposit, and micro-registration systems that keep every color in perfect alignment — print after print, year after year. The V-2000HD's 25-year structural warranty isn't a marketing claim; it reflects the genuine quality that Vastex has built into every press since 1960.

Vastex Conveyor Dryers — D-100 Through BigRed 4D
From the compact 110-shirt/hr D-100 tabletop to the BigRed 4D curing 900+ pieces per hour, Vastex dryers cure plastisol, water-based, discharge, DTG, and DTF inks with precision and consistency — at every production scale.
Why your dryer determines the quality of every shirt you ship
Undercured ink washes out after a single laundry cycle. Overcured ink cracks and flakes off. A conveyor dryer with precise temperature control and consistent belt speed is the difference between professional results and reprints that cost you customers. Vastex dryers use dense coil infrared heaters with built-in heat shields to eliminate hot and cold spots across the entire belt width. Every model is expandable — add heating chambers and belt extensions as your volume grows, without replacing your dryer.
Vastex Flash Cure Units — F-100, F-1000, RedFlash & AirFlash Series
Flash curing between colors is essential for any multi-color print job. Vastex flash units deliver faster, more even curing than cheaper alternatives — backed by a 15-year heater warranty across every model in the lineup.
Why every multi-color shop needs a dedicated flash cure unit
Without flash curing, wet ink from the first color smears directly into subsequent screens — instantly ruining the print. A flash unit partially gels each ink layer so you can print the next color cleanly. Vastex flash units use high-wattage, dense coil heaters with integrated heat shields, allowing them to be set closer to the garment than cheaper units — meaning faster flash times, higher production rates, and more consistent results on every job. For heat-sensitive fabrics like nylon and polyester, the AirFlash combines infrared heat with 140 CFM forced-air cooling to cure the ink without damaging the garment.
| Model | Key Feature |
|---|---|
| F-100 (Entry Level) | 16"×16" heater, 1,625W, 120V/240V — 15-Yr Heater Warranty |
| F-1000 (Mid Level) | 18"×18" heater, up to 2,600W at 240V — 15-Yr Heater Warranty |
| RedFlash (Premium) | 18"×18" or 18"×24", digital controls, slim 2.75" head profile |
| AirFlash (Premium) | IR + 140 CFM forced air — safe for nylon, polyester, spandex |
| AutoFlash Upgrade | HMI touchscreen, automatic head rotation — works with all models |
| Heater Warranty | 15 Years — all models |
Vastex Exposure Units, Drying Cabinets & Washout Booths
Expose screens with speed and consistency using Vastex fluorescent and LED exposure units. From the affordable E-20 to the production-speed E-2000 LED Series with 4–6 second vacuum seal times, every Vastex unit delivers repeatable, sharp exposures — run after run.
Why consistent screen exposure separates great printers from average ones
An underexposed screen breaks down mid-run, leaving ink smears and ruined jobs. An overexposed screen loses fine detail and halftone dots. A quality exposure unit with a vacuum blanket eliminates light scatter so that every screen is exposed identically. Vastex's E-2000 LED Series vacuums down in 4–6 seconds and delivers dramatically faster exposure times than fluorescent alternatives, keeping your screens turning quickly during high-volume production days.

| E-20 | Entry level, up to 20"×24" screen capacity |

Vastex DTF Equipment — PTF-100 Powder Applicator & EconoRed VP Dryer
Vastex has expanded into Direct-To-Film production with the PTF-100 powder applicator and the EconoRed VP dryer series — purpose-built to cure DTF adhesive powder while safely extracting the toxic glycol fumes that standard dryers cannot handle.
Why standard conveyor dryers can't safely cure DTF adhesive powder
DTF adhesive powder releases significant glycol vapors during the curing process — a genuine health hazard for production staff and a damaging contaminant for standard dryer heating elements. The Vastex EconoRed VP series addresses this directly: it draws filtered makeup air through the heating chamber, extracts fumes at the belt edges, and collects glycol condensate before it can damage the heaters. The result is a safe, professional DTF curing solution that protects both your people and your equipment investment.
| Model | Capacity |
|---|---|
| PTF-100 Powder Applicator | Uniform DTF powder coat, up to 16"×20" film, tabletop |
| EconoRed VP-III-24 | 150+ DTF films/hr, 10,800W, 24" belt |
| EconoRed VP-VI-24 | 300+ DTF films/hr, 15,600W, 24" belt |
| D-100 + PTF-100 Combo | Compact entry-level DTF solution |
- PTF-100 uniformly coats printed DTF films with adhesive powder — no dusting, no spillage
- Dual cartridge system holds ~3 lbs each for continuous operation without frequent refills
- Rear-mounted exhaust on PTF-100 creates negative pressure to capture adhesive dust
- EconoRed VP draws filtered air through heating chamber to protect staff from glycol fumes
- Glycol condensate collection system protects heating elements from damage
- D-100 + PTF-100 combo available as a compact, affordable DTF starter setup
