On Friday, May 10th, Lawson Screen & Digital Products celebrated its 70th Anniversary at the St. Louis, MO headquarters with an Open House to showcase new screen printing equipment and supplies. Friends, customers and the Lawson family, both old and new, got to see Lawson’s newest line up of automatic screen printing presses, hybrid printing and the latest digital advancements in the industries. Here are some highlights of the event if you couldn’t make it.

Printers were excited about our new digital lineup which included the Zeus V Digital Squeegee-Jet, the Express EX touch screen automatic screen printing press and the Laser-to-Screen (LTS) imaging device. These three ALL NEW t-shirt printing machines will help screen printers print better and faster. If you are thinking about expanding your business into the digital printing world, this lineup will get you out of the gate fast.

We also showcased some of our best DTG printers and screen printing equipment. Epson displayed the latest advancements on the F-2100 DTG Printer, including polyester pre-treat solution and the Blazer and Digi-Star DTG conveyor dryers. Visitors got to witness and partake in screen printing with our koozie platen, which was set up on the industry’s standard HD-Max manual t-shirt press.

First time and returning customers learned about Lawson’s latest supply offers. Beyond typical screen printing and heat applied vinyl, Lawson now sells Robison-Anton polyester thread. Customer advisors from Ulano, Roland, Printwear, S&S Activewear, Saati, Epson and Geneva Capital helped answer questions. Not to mention, Lawson has some of our best and most well-known supply specialists on the floor, answering questions. It was a great opportunity to learn how Lawson Screen & Digital is a one-stop-shop for all of your equipment and supply needs.

At the end of the day, everyone left knowing a little bit more about how Lawson Makes it Simple. Featuring simple, easy to use screen printing machines, equipment and supplies is what Lawson has been doing for 70 years.
