Anatol Manual Screen Printing Presses — Equipment Catalog

Anatol's manual screen printing presses are equipment for printing images onto textiles in which the operator manually rotates the carousel and lowers the print head at each station, keeping full control over every impression. This is a foundational, yet industrial-grade format of screen printing equipment, built for heavy use without sacrificing registration accuracy.

Anatol equipment is a fit for print shops of any size that specialize in t-shirt printing, hoodies, textiles, and merch — from small custom print studios to production shops that need a dependable workhorse for daily runs.

Anatol's key brand advantages in the manual press segment include heavy-duty steel construction, smooth and easy carousel movement, robust dual print head springs, all-heads-down printing on models with the same number of colors and stations, as well as solid aluminum pallets, side screen holders and laser alignment all included standard.

Types of Anatol Manual Screen Printing Presses

Anatol's manual screen printing category features the Thunder line — available in a range of configurations to fit various business needs through the choice of station count and color capacity.

Available Anatol Thunder manual press configurations:

• Thunder 4 stations / 4 colors — an excellent starting point for new shops producing single- and multi-color designs;
• Thunder 4 stations / 6 colors and 6 stations / 6 colors — mid-range options for growing design color counts;
• Thunder 4 stations / 8 colors and 8 stations / 8 colors — perfect for more complex multi-color jobs and greater flexibility for keeping multiple jobs set up;
• Thunder 10 stations / 10 colors — designed for busy production environments that benefit from keeping numerous jobs ready to print, or as a sampling press for automatic shops;
• Thunder 12 stations / 12 colors — the line's top configuration for the most demanding runs, maximum color capacity and workflow flexibility

• Ease of use — a heavy steel frame and bearings on key rotation axes keep operation quick and smooth without excessive operator fatigue over a shift.

How to Choose an Anatol Manual Screen Printing Press

• For small businesses — the 4 station/4 color configuration as a starting point with minimal floor space requirements;
• For manufacturing — configurations of 8 stations and up for consistent daily printing of multi-color designs;
• By volume — choose station count based on actual order flow: extra stations increase carousel diameter and footprint without benefit at low volume;
• By budget — start with a lower color count (4/4 or 4/6) and scale up colors later with a future equipment purchase.

Pricing for Anatol Manual Screen Printing Presses

The price of an Anatol Thunder manual press depends on several factors: the number of stations and colors (from 4/4 to 12/12), selected options (pneumatic screen clamps, vacuum pallets, flash cure units on stands), and pallet type along with other accessories.

As a general rule, price rises with the number of stations and colors: a base 4/4 configuration costs meaningfully less than a 12/12 configuration due to the larger carousel diameter and color capacity. An exact quote for a specific configuration and budget is provided by an Anatol representative — you can submit a request through the "Get a Quote" form on the website.

Final pricing is also shaped by additional options: air screen clamps (require an air compressor), youth and sleeve pallets, vacuum pallets, and the choice of side or rear clamps.

Delivery and Assembly of Anatol Manual Screen Printing Presses

• Assembly — the collapsible base with removable legs simplifies transporting the machine even into tight spaces and assembling it on-site;
• Startup — getting the machine ready for printing includes assembly, leveling, calibrating the three-point micro registration, checking print head operation, and a test print before the machine is handed off for production use;
