M&R (www.mrprint.com) recently added the Sportsman DPE to its line of automatic garment presses. The company says the Sportsman DPE offers the same simplicity of operation and performance-proven dependability as the Sportsman E, but with room to place flash units between print stations. Sportsman DPE’s eight printheads and 18 stations enable users to flash between each printhead and print up to eight colors. Sportsman DPE has a maximum print stroke length of 31 in. (787 mm) and a standard image area of 16 x 18 (406 x 457 mm).

Standard features include pneumatic clamps, independent squeegee- and floodbar-speed adjustments, adjustable rear screen holders, independently set angle and calibrated pressure adjustments, and independent print, reset, and print/flood speed controls on each printhead.
