The Mini-Trooper is an automatic screen printing press designed to increase profits, dramatically increase production, provide greater print consistency, minimize the physical stress of manually printing - all while being extremely simple to use, set-up and maintain. This 'Mini' version of the award winning Trooper is only 8 feet across so you can put it in a small room and compete with large shops without the overhead.

The Mini-Trooper ships fully assembled (4-color models) so there are no expensive installation costs. It has fully automated print heads combined with an integrated manual carousel the (XL & PC presses include automatic carousel) with roller bearing registration which ensures pinpoint registration and minimizes your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. No special training is required. Lawson is a company dedicated to screen printing technology, has been in business for over 60 years and specializes in start-ups, plant expansions, turnkey support, supplies and training.



Quartz Shuttle FlashLawson's Quartz Shuttle Flash is designed specifically to use in conjunction with the automatic Lawson Trooper series of screen printing presses, although it may be used with almost any printing press -- manual or automatic. It saves space and energy. Quartz tubes heat instantly and flash faster, don't heat up your platens as much as IR, runs smoother, quiter and requires little maintenance.

The Shuttle Flash moves "straight in" on rails and slides under your screen so you don't have to sacrifice a print head if you flash. It may be activated via Lawson's "Auto-Trigger" device or by a manually actuated foot pedal (your choice).

Reasons To Buy A Lawson Automatic Mini-Trooper

  1. Small Press Size For Cramped Situations
    This automatic will go where no textile press has gone before - in a small cramped area and small door openings. If you have the extra space, consider the regular Trooper
    .
  2. Simple and Easy to Use - Peace of Mind
    The Lawson Mini-Trooper is the easiest press to use and maintain on the market. It comes completly assembled so all you have to do is remove it from the crate, connect your air supply and you are ready to print. Only common 120 volt electricity is required. Intuitive and simple controls without gimmicky bells & whistles and fancy computer systems combined with standard parts add to minimal maintenance and low cost.
  3. Use Your Existing T-Shirt Frames
    Use any size frame up to 21" x 28"...even your old manual frames fit the Mini-Trooper. (Print sizes vary depending on screen size)
  4. Front and Rear Micro-Registration
    Lawson includes both front and rear micro-registeration. Rear micro-registration is essential for critical registration and fast set-up. Don't be fooled by competitors who say it is not necessary.
  5. Auto-Balance Squeegee System
    Lawson's unique squeegee system automatically balances squeegee pressure from side-to-side, front-to-back and instantly adjusts itself to variations in garment thickness and platen heights.
  6. Dual-Action Squeegee
    The Mini-Trooper uses a dual-action (flip-flop) industry standard aluminum squeegee holder.
  7. Double Print
    This Mini-Trooper option allows you to simulate manual printing where you desire a double-print stroke on the first print head.
  8. Flex-Head Design
    The Mini-Trooper uses the standard and proven Lawson Print Head. Choose the placement of your print head where you desire. For example, move Print Head #1 to Station #5 and you can print up to 5-colors and utilize a Flash Unit... without loosing the use of the head.
  9. Boom Control Box
    Lawson's rotating Boom Control Box is within easy view and reach of the operator. It is easily positioned anywhere the operator desires. Great for quick set-up and production.
  10. The Equalizer
    The Lawson Equalizer (patent pending) adds new versatility to your automatic by adding an extra print head, without loosing your load/un-load station. This unique concept Saves Space, for those who need it! For example, you can now have a 6-Color; 6-Station automatic (Mini-Trooper) or an 8-Color; 8-Station automatic or even a 10-Color; 10-Station automatic (Trooper). The Lawson Equalizer Print Head is a clamshell design that pivots up and down automatically in sync with the print cycle of the press. When not in use, the head stays in the up position. Note: This option must be added at time of original purchase.
  11. Shuttle Flash Capability
    The Mini-Trooper is designed to accommodate Lawson's unique QZE-Shuttle Flash Unit that doesn't take the place of a print head! While you are unloading/loading and the head is raised, the Shuttle Flash automatically positions itself over the printed garment, flashes based on the temperatures and dwell time you set, and then returns to its resting/home position during the next print cycle.
  12. Design it Your Way
    You can design your Mini-Trooper based on your specific print and flashing needs and add additional print heads as desired. Prices are very reasonable and structured on a modular basis.
  13. Affordable and Best Value
    A bank loan for $10,000 at 10% interest is only $212.47 per month. That's only $10 per day to be able print at least 100 - 4 color shirts an hour. Even if you only print 212 shirts per month and only make a dollar a shirt, it's smart business to go automatic. What are you waiting for? Your banker will understand the return on investment.
