    • REASONS TO BUY A LAWSON AUTOMATIC TROOPER
    1.  Simple and Easy to Use - Peace of Mind The Lawson Trooper is the easiest-to-use automatic press on the market. Intuitive and simple controls combined with standard parts add to minimal maintenance and low cost. No gimmicky bells & whistles and fancy computer systems.
    2.  Use Your Existing T-Shirt Frames:
      Use any size frame up to 23" x 31"...even your old manual frames fit the Trooper auto.
      (Print sizes may vary)
    3. 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.
    4.  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.
    5.  Dual-Action Squeegee:
      The Trooper uses a simple, easy to adjust, dual-action (flip-flop) aluminum squeegee holder.
    6.  Double Print:
      The Trooper automatic allows you to simulate manual printing where you desire a double print stroke on Print Head #1.
    7.  Flex-Head Design:
      Choose the placement of your print heads where you desire. For example, move Pirnt Head #1 to Starion #8 and you can print up to 6-colors and utilize a Flash Unit... without loosing the use of the head.
    8.  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.
    9.  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.
    10.  Shuttle Flash Capability:
      The Trooper is designed to accommodate Lawson's unique QZE-Shuttle Flash Unit. This allows you the ability to flash as many colors as necessary, without loosing the use of the print head! When the head is raised, and while you are unloading/loading, 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.
    11.  Design it Your Way
      You can design your 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.
    12.  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. Even if you only print 200 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.
