AutoUP Bronze Automatic Screen Printing Press Upgrade Package

Diamondback 6-Color 8-Station (all pneumatic) Automatic Press

Most owners of manual-press operations are constantly looking for ways to justify upgrading to an automatic press because of the tremendous benefits automation offers. Entry-level automatics can dramatically increase output, giving shops the ability to take on large and last-minute jobs. They also minimize labor costs and they largely eliminate the tedium and hard physical effort involved in hand-pulling squeegees. In shops where the owner does much of the printing, an automatic's high-speed production can free up time to work with existing clients - and seek out new ones.

Unfortunately, those benefits often lost out to the cost factor - until now. By relying on simplicity of design, strong standard-feature sets, highly-efficient manufacturing processes, and volume production, M&R's Diamondback has broken the price barrier between you and your first automatic. The pneumatically-driven Diamondback is available in 6 and 8-color models, with a maximum image area of 41 x 46 cm (16" x 18") and a maximum pallet size of 46 x 56 cm (18" x 22"). Diamondbacks can be ordered with an additional print head over the unload station, turning the 6-color into a 7-color and the 8-color into a 9-color. The press can also be optionally configured to allow the additional print head to be added in the field.

Diamondbacks are available in base and enhanced configurations. Both models feature pneumatically-driven print carriages, swiveling control panel arm with touch-screen display, micro-registration, calibrated squeegee pressure adjustment, standard M&R three-point pallet leveling bracket with quick release, rear stroke length adjustment, new composite 41 x 56 cm (16" x 22") pallets, and M&R's patented Revolver Print Program. Enhanced Diamondbacks add pneumatic frame locks, pneumatic squeegee/flood bar locks, and pneumatic squeegee pressure regulators. 

This package includes the "B" packaged press with ALL Pneumatic Options. Pneumatics increase setup time efficiency by four to five times. It's literally the difference of hand tightening down knobs for 15-20 minutes OR flipping a switch and the job is done. In fact, over 99% of ALL M&R diamond backs sold are purchased with "B" Package Pneumatic Options.
