The HD-MAX is a rugged screen printing press designed for maximum versatility, ease-of-use and close tolerance printing.

In addition, you can choose rear clamps (no extra charge), if you desire.

Micro-fit roller bearing registration with Lawson's exclusive "guide-in" and "pin-point" eccentric bearing system guarantees perfect registration, print after print.

Reasons To Buy A Lawson HD-MAX Auto

  • Lawson's "micro-fit" roller bearing registration system ensures perfect pin-point registration. Eccentric roller bearings glide into hardened, precision machined shafts for perfect registration every time.
  • Side screen clamps provide four frame lock-down clamps on each screen which automatically flatten warped screens. Difficult and time consuming head adjustments are unnecessary.
  • Lawson's platens and slip tubes are easily adjusted for perfect leveling and off contact. Level your platens at any time for special printing requirements. Print with no (or minimal) platen deflection!
  • To add even more production and shop capability, we've built more versatility into our presses. We feature adjustable spring tension for various size and weight screens, variable screen angle, off-contact that is adjustable even after the screen is "locked down" and registered, squeegee rest stops that ensure clean and fast squeegee placement, adjustable-height platens and a solid 1.5"-diameter rotation shaft with never-wear, taper-roller bearings throughout.
  • Dual "never-wear" springs are provided on each color head. Micro-tension adjustments are provided on each individual spring. This ensures perfect frame balancing for effortless lowering and raising of either large or small screens.
  • The Lawson HD-MAX Series is a massive, ruggedly built piece of industrial machinery. Just look at the heavy steel housing, shaft and heavy duty rotation bearings. You'll never worry about maintenance again.
  • Lawson's exclusive locking detent provides for easy relocation of the speed carousel. It's standard on all units. Detent pressure, for locking in the carousel, is adjustable.
