KNIGHT MFG

Knight Mfg is a small welding and fabricating shop owned and operated by Jamie Knight. The welding shop is a division of Knight Screen Printing. I started welding back in 1995 when I was taking some machine tool courses at Piedmont Technical College. I owned and operated a BMX bicycle shop at the time (1991 to 2003) and realized I could make most of the shops' fixtures myself such as work benches, bicycle and skateboard display racks, merchandisers, etc. at a substantial savings over having the work done at local welding shops. There isn't a lot of money in bicycle retailing after all, and you're forced to be as self-sufficient as possible. I really enjoyed fabrication and having the ability to design and make things the way I wanted them, and I ended up having one of the coolest shop setups that I knew of. When I closed my bike shop in 2003 and started screen printing, I built all of my own equipment (press, exposure unit, screen drying cabinet, etc.). Since I was working from home, I needed small compact stuff that I could put away when I was done using it, but that was capable of doing more than just one color work. Over the next couple of years I refined the equipment I was using into what I believe is a well designed product line perfectly suited for the home based screen printer or small business who wants to print their own shirts "in house". I have been using/refining this equipment for the last seven years, and have been well satisfied with it's performance. To be so small, compact, and simple to use, it really packs a punch as to what you can do with it. And everything is built to last with great pride in workmanship to provide many years of service. These presses will pay for themselves many times over their initial cost. Take a look at everything on the product pages. I'm sure you'll be able to find a press that will meet your needs. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
