I'm starting with a 1 station one color hobby press so a four color would allow me to really explore some graphic options

This looks very similar to one of the presses I own. Used and set up correctly, it will hold registration and produce very nice prints. Any screen printing press needs to be felt out before optimal performance will be achieved :mrgreen:

If you have the space, and the spare cash I suppose, I would highly recommend at least a 2-station. When working with multiple t-shirts, having at least 2 stations can greatly increase production speed as well as consistency. When printing multi-color designs, it is extremely useful to be able to have one shirt "flashing" while printing the opposite shirt. It's really the only way you can achieve a "cadence" when printing. Hobby's can quickly grow into something more, especially in this type of work.

Hope this helps!
