If you're running into the limitations of manual labor or outdated, bulky pneumatic presses, it’s time to level up. Introducing the ROQ E, a revolutionary self contained automatic press engineered to elevate your print shop’s productivity, precision, and profitability. This machine isn't just a step forward, it's a leap into the future of screen printing.


Why the ROQ E is the Smartest Investment You’ll Make

Whether you're transitioning from manual to auto for the first time or upgrading to modern automation, the ROQ E is built with your business in mind. Compact and powerful, it operates with a single electrical connection and a built-in air system—no bulky external compressors needed.


“The ROQ-E legitimized our print shop, it’s quiet, prints amazing quality, and has helped us expand from printing our own merch to now printing for other bands!”  – JT Woodruff, Skeleton Club Printing & Hawthorne Heights

Simply Connect & Print

Traditional autos require complex setups and a separate air system. The ROQ E simplifies everything. Just plug it into a standard power source and start printing.

  • Minimal Maintenance: Onboard alerts keep the system clean and running

  • Quiet Operation: Perfect for retail or residential settings

Not Just Electric, It’s ROQ Solid

Built on the legacy of the ROQ YOU, the E delivers the same elite engineering trusted for over 40 years with ROQ’s industry-leading 3-Year Squeegee to Squeegee Warranty. That includes the onboard compressor, parts, labor, and even technician travel.




Key Features That Redefine Efficiency

Hybrid Pneumatics for Critical Precision While it's primarily electric, the ROQ E uses air where it counts:


  • Squeegee Pressure – up to 80 lbs. of uniform pressure = clean prints on tough substrates

  • Screen Clamps – Fast and secure setups without sacrificing registration


Electric Servo Control

AC Servo motors regulate flood and stroke functions for consistent, clean results on everything from single-color tees to high-detail artwork.


Time-Saving Registration

ROQ’s REG system and open footprint slash setup time by more than 50%-80% —freeing you to focus on production, not preparation.

Even without spending much time, the overall experience feels quite smooth and manageable.
