12-station, 10-color automatic production at up to 85 dozen per hour, built and backed by M&R.

Overview

The M&R Hornet is a 12-station, 10-color automatic textile screen printing press with a 16" x 18" maximum image area and print speeds of up to 85 dozen per hour. It is built for shops moving up to automatic production or adding capacity, and it delivers the durability, registration and support M&R presses are known for at a more accessible price point.

Operators run the Hornet from a 7.5" high-resolution touchscreen with an icon-based layout and built-in, multi-language tutorial screens, so new crew members get up to speed without digging through manuals. A servo-drive indexer gives smooth, quiet, repeatable indexing, brushless electric printheads deliver a consistent print stroke, and integrated Management Production Reporting (MPR) software tracks output.

Every Hornet comes standard with pneumatic screen clamps and locks, tool-free squeegee and floodbar angle adjustments, independent off-contact on each head, micro-registration with visual guides and M&R's Laser Locator for fast garment positioning. It is backed by M&R's five-year limited warranty and a technical support hotline staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Features ▼
  • Servo-Drive Indexer
    Smooth, quiet, consistent indexing in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) for long production runs.
  • Brushless Electric Printheads
    Maintenance-free electric drive motors give smooth linear movement and precise control of every stroke.
  • Touchscreen Control Center
    Icon-based touchscreen on a swiveling arm with built-in tutorials, onboard self-diagnostics, 1-4 print strokes, multi-print and a countdown index counter.
  • Print-Start / Print-Finish
    Heads activate and stop automatically at the beginning and end of a run, and single-pallet test prints are one touch away.
  • Revolver Print Program
    Runs individual heads in a programmed sequence so you can flash more than once without giving up a print position.
  • Maintenance Minder™
    Alerts operators when scheduled maintenance is due, with photos and step-by-step tutorials on screen.
  • Laser Locator System
    Projects a guide for precise garment and cut-piece placement and speeds pallet positioning and changeover.
  • Fast, Accurate Registration
    Micro-registration adjustments with visual guides, compatible with M&R Tri-Loc® and Tri-Sync™ rapid registration systems.
  • Squeegee & Floodbar Control
    Independent speed, angle and calibrated pneumatic pressure, tool-free angle adjustment with 5-degree reference marks, and a front or rear carriage stop to leave screens flooded or clear (ideal for water-based inks).
  • Off-Contact on Every Head
    Fast, incremental off-contact adjustment set independently at each printhead.
  • Quick Pallet Changes
    Advanced pallet leveling, tool-free pallet locators and quick-release pallet locks.
  • Flexible Screen Holding
    Pneumatic clamps load screens fast and hold roller frames without special adapters; adjustable rear holders fit a wide range of screen sizes.
  • Adjustable Stroke Length
    Set front and rear stroke length to match the print and keep the press running at its best speed.
  • Warranty & Support
    Five-year limited warranty, 24-hour / 365-day support hotline and access to M&R's Training Center.
