The joystick is both good and bad.

For getting the screen close the registered it is great but for fine movement..... it sucks.

I set my registration by printing through one screen and then lining all the other screens up to that print before I flood the first time. Then once all looks good I test. Well if I was off a little then moving the screen with the joystick by a very small controlled amount is next to impossible and is a shot in the dark. It is the only part that drives me nuts about my press.

For me I would LOVE to have a press that had a joystick AND a way to fine tune with a bolt or a micro so I know that I can quickly get it super close with the joystick and then know that one turn of a micro will move a very specific amount in a specific direction and get me dead on.
