We would like to welcome our new Duo-Deck M&R Companies Chameleon! It's our fourth Chameleon and first Duo-Deck. It is without question the world’s best manual press. Hands down end of story. We are excited to begin work with our new screen printing press!

We have had a vacuum pallet on our Chameleon Manual Press for five years, and it’s a perfect tool for plastisol transfer jobs. Setup is quick and easy, and a Chameleon without a vacuum pallet system is incomplete!

Although we eventually got a Saturn Flatbed Press for bigger jobs, we still like to use the vacuum system on our Chameleon for small orders and sampling. I’ve never regretted either decision.
