Re: screen printing beer labels...
Well .... Labels you wouldn't necessarily screen print. You can inkjet and cut them yourself if you have either a solvent based inkjet printer or printer/cutter in one. Roland makes some nice ones www.rolanddga.com
If you have high enough volume, having them offset printed by a printer like flexcon would be FAR cheaper.
To screen print yourself direct to bottle, I would imagine the best case here would be some sort of specialty pad press. With an inverted cylinder pad.
Alternatively Kamman makes bottle screen printers but I would image being a Kamman the prices would easily top the $100,000 mark if not more. Kamman's are the Heidelberg/Mercedes benz of specialty printers, and unfortunately the ONLY ones I know of with a cylindrical press.
Hope that helps.
