With its revolutionary two-tier design, unrivaled expandability, and rugged construction, Chameleon is without question the world's best sampling and manual production press. M&R's System Integration design allows Chameleon to integrate seamlessly with M&R's Tri-Loc and Double Tri-Loc Registration System and any M&R automatic textile press to create the most phenomenal registration/sampling/production system available. And with Chameleon's patented Duo-Deck design, four and six-color models can expand to ten colors and eight-color models can expand to fourteen colors, all without expanding the footprint of the press.

Chameleon's expandability also allows manual shops to meet current color capacity needs with a Chameleon 4, 6, or 8-color press, secure in the knowledge that they can add future color capacity by expanding the Chameleon instead of purchasing a new press. Instead of investing in small, manual-only screen frames that can never be used on automatic presses, Chameleon owners can invest in standard frames designed for automatics. When Chameleon-driven shops step up to automatic printing, they're not sitting on thousands of dollars worth of frames that have to be replaced. Chameleon even uses the same standard pallets as M&R automatics. Interchangeable frames support increased productivity through manual-press sampling, leaving automatic presses free to perform their specialty: high-speed production.
Chameleon features include a machine-tooled and polished 7.62 cm (3") center shaft, heavy-duty tapered roller bearings, extra-large knobs, micro-registration with dual off-contact adjustment, and tool-free spring tension adjustment. M&R's optional Accu-Stroke helps users achieve precise repeatability on every print. If you have a Chameleon, you don't just have the most phenomenal manual press ever made, you've stepped into the most phenomenal textile printing system ever devised. Chameleon: There's nothing else like it.
