"We wanted to let you know that the Alpha 8 we bought from your company in December 2009 has exceeded our expectations. The press is extremely versatile. Double and triple indexing is effortless, and individual printhead off-contact is easy to use and very helpful for jobs requiring high-density ink. The ability to lift up any printhead has proven to be extremely beneficial for foil and flock applications. We’ve used Alpha 8’s all-over capability to reach up to one meter in squeegee width. All these features have proven to be tremendously valuable.
Alpha 8’s production yield is phenomenal. We have reached 78 dozen units per hour (9360 units per 10-hour shift) in up to twelve-color designs. The press has been virtually problem-free.
We definitely purchased the best and most cost-effective equipment available. Thanks for making us being part of the M&R Team.

"I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my decision to update my equipment with M&R machines. In November 2008 I replaced 2 Progressive Falcons with an Alpha 8 and a Gauntlet II.
The Alpha 8 has far exceeded my expectations. I bought the machine based on its versatility. The high lift feature was one of the biggest reasons for our purchase. We were having more and more requests for foiling and flocking. The high lift feature allows an operator to apply foil and flock without the print head being in the way. By having the ability to high lift any print head, we are able to transition from flock to HD inks to flat inks without the use of tools or down time.
Another feature that got my attention was multiple indexing. We recently had a simple 2-color imprint. We set the job up two times on the press and ran 8,900 shirts in 7 hours. I had two loaders and two unloaders on this run at 65 dozen per hour. The overall yield was about 130 dozen per hour. Most of our production runs yield 75 dozen per hour or more and with perfect registration on the Alpha 8. This is something the Falcons were unable to do. We had about 750,000 imprints on our Falcons and the ball-screw indexers were less than smooth running at 60 dozen per hour. With the Alpha 8, our production numbers have increased 20-25% over the Falcons.
Lastly, the Alpha’s jumbo print capabilities have been very impressive. We run images of 23” x 27” on a regular basis. I can’t tell you how easy it is to set up jumbo images.
The support I have received from M&R has been tremendous. Technicians Todd Petty and Rod Saksa were extremely professional during the installation. They took the time to explain to the staff how this machine worked. Service manager Mike Sonera has also been very professional and helpful. I know that I can call any time of the day and get the tech support I need.
Our business has grown a great deal the past two years and M&R has certainly been a major part of our growth. As we continue to grow, the only machines we will put in production will be M&R. Many thanks to you and your staff for producing the best machines in the industry. I’m glad to be part of the M&R family."

"The Alpha 8 from M&R is the most versatile press that I have run in my 25 years of working with automatics. http://www.newbuffaloshirt.com/"
