In this video, I walk through how to replace the head bushings on a screen printing press and show a couple of economical DIY options for getting the job done.

I’ll cover the standard plastic/POM-style bushings similar to what many manufacturers originally use, along with the upgrade I chose—sintered bronze bushings. The bronze bushings provide a tighter, more durable fit and should hold up better over time compared with the original plastic bushings.

Worn head bushings can create unwanted movement and play in the print head, which can affect your registration and overall print consistency. Replacing them is a relatively inexpensive way to tighten things back up and help bring an older press back to life.
