M&R YELLOWJACKET™ Automatic Screen Printing Press

Description

The new M&R YELLOWJACKET™ is equipped with a 10-inch high-resolution touchscreen designed for fast learning and intuitive operation. A clean, modern icon system guides operators through setup and daily use with minimal training required. Integrated, multi-language tutorial screens provide step-by-step guidance directly on the display, eliminating the need to reference external manuals. This built-in intelligence streamlines onboarding and helps operators get up to speed quickly and confidently.

Controls on each pallet arm feature M&R’s classic toggle-based inputs for easy access. All YELLOWJACKET presses come standard with front-flip screen holder manual/pneumatic locks, tool-free squeegee and floodbar angle adjustments, screen, squeegee and floodbar airlocks, and rear micro registration for more accurate screen printing adjustments. Additional flash cure communication ports (six on each machine) enhance hybrid printing capabilities.
