Reasons To Buy A Lawson Mustang Press

  • Low-Profile Dual-Crank Arms: Dual-crank arms produce more dependable and uniform squeegee and flood print control than single-drive crank systems. Low-profile design allows for greater shop visibility and screen access. Benefit: Smooth, even and consistent carriage drive. Better supervision, faster set-up, better control.
  • Unique Peel System: Direct-Action Peel allows adjustment of peel/off-contact at only one point and at the front of the screen carriage, without tools. Peel settings are stepless, all mechanical and direct-acting for more accurate and visible control at the squeegee/print contact point.
  • Solid Aluminum Vacuum Table: An all aluminum honeycomb core ensures flatness and resistance to all solvents. Other systems can warp and deteriorate.
  • Single-Action Up and Down Squeegee and Flood Pressure Controls: Allows direct, precise pressure control with only one knob to adjust. Benefit: control, saves time and no tools are needed.
  • Masterframe: Lock-In Head/Masterframe lowers to exact print position and ensures consistent and repeatable registration (+/-.001 inch) from print to print and job to job. Our quick-drop Masterframe allows the screen to be perfectly parallel to the vacuum table for the easiest and fastest screen-loading, registration and set-up in the industry. In addition, Lawson's special method of opposing cam rollers locks in the frame and head during the entire print cycle. Eccentric roller-bearings assure lifetime registration.
  • Design: Wide Rail/Head Width guarantees more even and greater control of squeegee pressure over entire width of print area. Provides a larger area to view print, add ink and clean screen.
