An amazing high production machine

Justin WillmanJ.W. CONTRACT SCREENCOVINGTON, KY, USA
I have a 16 color and 14 color, these are the workhorse of the shop. I can't say enough good stuff about the press. I have ordered 2 more in 18 color and 10 color. We compared this press with other M&R machines and decided on this again and again because it is very user friendly and put out high quality prints at high production rates. The operators can produce more goods with being less fatigued

Steve Rhodes, OwnerImpressionz PrintingOrlando FL, USA
We have had our Gauntlet III in production for nearly 3 months and have been thrilled with the machine. We have already put over 120,000 impressions on the machine and it is still going strong. We have found that the individual off-contact for each printhead helps with various printing techniques. It is also a plus to be able to adjust in 1/16” increments when needed. Our first job was a 9-color on dark apparel with a 17” print stroke and one flash. We were able to run the machine comfortably at 920 pieces per hour. The addition of the laser for print placements has saved us valuable time where we used to mark our pallets with a T-Square. The touchscreen interface is very user friendly and easy to make adjustments when needed.

Having a built-in maintenance schedule [M&R’s Maintenance Minder™] for the machine is another perk and allows management to easily assure that the presses are being properly maintained. We have not had any problems to date with the machine but are at ease knowing that all parts that we could ever need are able to be overnighted to us.

Overall, we have seen an increase in our production numbers due to the efficiencies gained with the newest technology on the market. We are able to run as fast as we can clear a screen and dry our underbase.

Simply put, the Gauntlet III is a beast and is built to run 24/7/365.
