Tri-Loc Pre-Registration System
The rear micro lock holds the rear frame holder ridged dur-
ing the initial engagement of the frame locks. This added
rigidity improves accuracy regardless of what type registra-
tion system is being used. Although locked during set-up, it
can be easily loosened if a micro adjustment is necessary.
M&R Screen Placement System:
M&R’s screen placement system has been designed to per-
mit easy and accurate job set up. This system is also com-
patible for design layouts on presses of other manufactur-
ers. Please take a few minutes to read the following proce-
dure carefully.
1. Locate all pallets 2.75” (6.98cm) from inside of front
screen holder. Care must be taken to assure that all pallets
are positioned exactly the same for accurate location of the
printed design, for consistent piece to piece decoration.
2. On pallet #1 mark a line at center (8”, 20.3cm) the full
length of the pallet. Now measure 9.25” (24.1cm) from the
front of the pallet and scribe a line the full width of the pal-
let. These lines become the center placement position of all
designs and print work on your machine.
3. The most important step of this system follows. Have
your art department standardize the location of all registra-
tion marks to the scribed lines 9.25” (24.1cm) and 8”
(20.3cm). After this has been accomplished the press oper-
ator has only to line up the registration marks on the scribed
lines for artwork placement thereby eliminating costly time
measuring position. By using this system the normal design
will be located 3.25” from the top of the pallet.
Understanding that set-up time lost counts against produc-
tion, every minute saved is productive to you. This method
should cut your set-up time considerably.
CAUTION: When handling printing
pallets use extreme caution to pre-
vent dropping them. Failure to do so
could result in de-lamination to the
pallets.
