It also prevents the build-up of traditional glue dust on top of the machines.” The spray is available in 500ml cans, plus 22-litre and 110-litre canisters. ”The 22-litre canisters are easy to dispose of and recycle with a simple tap and recycle mechanism built directly in the canister,” adds Matrix. The 110-litre canisters are available on the company’s ‘refresh’ programme – once empty, new canisters are delivered and old ones refilled. One 110-litre canister can service two automatic machines. “We also offer a trolley system to easily allow the canister and gun to manoeuvre around the print shop, as well as supplying a foam adhesive remover for clean downs — apply to the pallets and let sit for one minute.” Screen Print World: M&R Copperhead Pro Max The new M&R Copperhead Pro Max comes with an in-built squeegee pressure equaliser system, making reproduction of the same colours and jobs easier without high-skilled labour requirements, says Screen Print World (SPW). “Manual adjustments are no longer required, as the equaliser system automatically balances the print head pressure. Even ink deposition and equal pressure on all four corners maintains consistent and precise printing.” The Copperhead Pro Max comes with lightweight honeycomb pallets with soft top rubber pads to avoid overheating after flashing, which is key for printers using water-based or discharge inks, adds SPW. “The rubber's compression allows the garment weave to flex and stretch when the squeegee presses it into the rubber. This stretch behaviour provides for better penetration of the ink into the garment, thus increasing the 'hand' quality and durability of your print,” it explains. “The rubber also acts to reduce mesh degradation and emulsion breakdown, and will require less overall screen attention during a print run.” The Copperhead Pro Max is compatible with the Tri-Loc system, which “further minimises set-up, and maximises run times and productivity”. Other features include electric print heads, pneumatic frame locks and tool-free squeegee/ flood bar angle adjustments, plus independent squeegee/flood speeds.
