Standard casters and leveling pads for easy relocation and setup—custom sizes available to match your application.
MaxPress 48: Industrial Power Meets Unmatched Precision
The MaxPress 48 is a clamshell-style, large-format screen printing machine built for high-accuracy printing on oversized substrates. Evolved from the trusted Model F1 architecture, it integrates heavy-duty construction with advanced automation—delivering smooth, repeatable performance for demanding production environments.
- Oversized Print Capability: Print area: 37” x 48” with support for screen frames over 50” long.
- High-Precision Registration: Micro-adjustable table with three dial indicators (X, Y, and tilt) and off-contact control for flawless large-format alignment.
- Dual Print Head System: Ensures even squeegee pressure across wide screens, with adjustable pressure via built-in gauge and regulator.
- Automated Ink Dispensing (Optional): Ultra Dispense system with programmable settings, batch control, alarm alerts, and pneumatic slide for consistent ink coverage.
- Aircraft-Grade Vacuum Table: Honeycomb aluminum core with ±.001” flatness, dense suction hole pattern, and a ½ HP regenerative vacuum pump for secure hold-down.
- Heavy-Duty Clamshell Design: Built for industrial durability with reinforced arms and smooth hydraulic-assisted lift for safe, efficient operation.
- Streamlined Operator Interface: Intuitive control panel with cycle presets, emergency stop, and palm-button safety for simplified, reliable use in high-volume environments.
Engineered for Industrial Demands
Integrated Features
-
Progressive Screen Lift: Gently raises the front of the screen as the squeegee moves across, ensuring consistent contact and sharper image clarity.
-
Vacuum Table Hold-Down: Provides stable, even pressure across large substrates. Custom-built in-house to match your exact printing needs.
-
Forced Peel System: Prevents screen breakaway from the substrate, maintaining registration and print integrity on every pass.

Large Format Screen Printing FAQ
What is the largest print area you offer?
The ST-60 shuttle system prints up to 60″ x 60″. The MaxPress 48 clamshell prints 37″ x 48″ and takes screen frames over 50″ long. Custom sizes are available to match your parts.
What is the difference between the ST-60 and the MaxPress 48?
The ST-60 is a flatbed shuttle press with a reinforced steel base, built for the biggest sheets and panels. The MaxPress 48 is a clamshell press built from our Model F1 design, with a dual print head for even squeegee pressure across wide screens.
How do you keep large silk screen prints in register?
Both machines have X, Y and angle micro adjustment. A vacuum table holds the part flat, and a forced peel system keeps the screen from pulling the print out of line. The MaxPress 48 table is flat within ±.001″.
What can I print on a large format screen printing machine?
Solar panels, glass, industrial signs, aerospace and defense parts, and architectural panels are common jobs. Tell us your part size and ink and we will match the machine.
Where are the machines built?
In Farmington, Connecticut. We have built screen printing machines for over 40 years and build the vacuum tables in house. Contact us or call 860-677-6400 to talk to an engineer.
