This makes it the perfect platform for printers that work in the promotional clothing and accessories market and are moving into automated printing, says the supplier. Due to customer demand, the pallet holder on the new machine also has a different construction, and is now thinner to allow the user to easily print sleeves; these new pallet holders are 100% compatible with the Roq pallets. www.i-sub.co.uk The Roq You P08 S has a maximum printing area of 16.5”x17” MHM Direct GB: S-Type Xtreme MHM machines are renowned for their performance, reliability and superior build quality, reports John Potter, managing director of MHM Direct GB. He adds that the S-Type Xtreme remains one of the most popular presses in the company’s range, offering extremely fast servo-driven indexing and high production speeds (MHM claims productions speeds of up to 1,600 pieces per hour). The S-Type Xtreme is available from eight pallets (printing a maximum of six colours) up to 18 pallets (printing a maximum of 16 colours). “The eight-station/six-colour specification gives smaller customers and also tote bag printers (who require super- fast production rates) access to the superior time-saving features and high production speeds normally associated with higher value, larger presses,” comments John. www.mhmdirect.co.uk The MHM S-Type Xtreme press – available from eight-pallets/six-colours up to 18-pallets/16-colours
