Decent first press

Hey, I'm looking at getting my first screen printing press. Can anyone recommend a decent, not too expensive, press? Also - I was wondering is there is a big advantage to getting a 2 or 4 color press as opposed to a 1 color press? Thanks.

We're in the process of making this: http://www.printingplans.com/

Obviously, you can only do 1 color with a 1 color press. So, if you want to do only 1 color prints,that's fine. But, anything with <1 color, you'll need a multi-color press.

Thanks. I suppose I was wondering if you can simply use more than one screen (obviously not at the same time) in a single color press to make multiple color print. I know that this would cause a problem with alignment. I think I will probably just go with a multi color press to avoid any problems.
