PF SCREEN PRINTING PRESSES
To kick things off for 2017, MHM Direct GB installed another three
new iQ-Oval machines during January, and is installing a further
iQ-Oval in its new showroom and training academy.
According to MHM Direct GB, the patented iDS intelligent drive
system makes the iQ-Oval unique and “one of the fastest oval
presses available”. The iDS drive motors will stop immediately
upon sensing the slightest obstruction, eliminating the need for
any security barriers, making this a safe and easy machine to
operate.
“An individual drive motor located on every pallet arm means all
pallet arms are independent from each other and every sta-
tion has its own independent locking point to provide greater
registration accuracy than any other press available. That’s an

engineering fact, so you can forget about registration problems
forever and enjoy precise repeatability and perfect registration
accuracy 100% of the time,” says MHM Direct GB.
The iQ-Oval is part of a full range of presses available from
MHM Direct GB. The X-type Plus is a compact press, the S-type
Xtreme is a “highly relied upon industry standard press”, while
the Synchroprint 5000 combines innovative design along with
advanced technology such as the automatic GOTO screen regis-
tration set-up.
All machines use the M-Touch Pro main command unit with its
simple ‘finger-tip’ controls for all main press functions and full
wi-fi capability for instant, real-time technical support.

New from Screen Ink and Solvents (SISS) is the WPS Com-
pact Tabletop Carousel, which the company says it designed
following the success of the original WPS Tabletop Carousel.
Smaller and lighter than the original, the Compact is ideal for
smaller print shops. It is upgradeable to six colours using 20” x
24” screens, comes with
micro-registration as
standard and includes a
platen print arm, which can
be removed when the carousel is
not being used. A larger platen print
arm can be purchased to allow
for overprinting, and from this
month printers can also upgrade
from a single station to a
two-station version.

SISS is also the UK dealer for Weiss Carousels. The Weiss Medi-
um Carousel range is made in Denmark “to the highest stand-
ards and built to last”, reports the company. It is built with quality
components, strong bearings and with a single compression
spring to produce a smooth print arm action and offers all-
heads down printing. “Optional
side clamps and micro-reg-
istration are combined with an
adjustable pallet arm height for an
extremely rigid print platform,”
explains SISS, adding that “the
registration forks are
factory set and require
no lubrication or adjust-
ment.”
