I've got a couple of questions that kinda stem off the Printing Tee Shirts With A Manual Rotary Press topic:
With the RANAR Vista series (or probably any other band of upgradable rotary press) what is usually involved in upgrading the number of stations and print heads? I was browsing through the Vista series options and for the ones that have only 1 station, it's a fixed station. I'm assuming that once you upgrade, you would have to detach the fixed station and the rotary platform that the print heads sit on to install a rotating platen-bracket system? Once that's done, is adding another print head or platen bracket just a matter of purchasing and installing one, or does the central hub ever need to be swapped out?

You’re in luck! There’s a video on this very subject:
But different presses will upgrade differently if they are able to. Let me know if that answers your question.
