New textile press from M&R
Published:  29 September, 2006

Challenger Z is the second press to incorporate M&R’s new Z-Series features.

Its new touch-screen monitor uses Direct Digital Control to operate off-contact, stroke length, flood and squeegee speed and flash curing. Designed for quick setups and high-speed production, it’s loaded with timesaving, output-enhancing features, making it a star producer in any print shop.

Challenger Z is available in 12, 14, 16, and 18-colour models with a 50x70 cm (20x28”) maximum image area. Z-Series presses have virtually every feature a printer could want, features like a super-fast, ultra-quiet servo-driven indexer, electric printheads, and Job Recall - which allows storage and recall of numerous standard and optional functions and settings, including print & flood speeds and front and rear carriage-stop positions.

Direct Digital Control allows print parameters to be used as an overall default or to be shared with other printheads at the touch of a button. The standard feature set includes digitally controlled stroke length, pneumatic and mechanical squeegee pressure control, tool-free calibrated angle adjustments, and compatibility with pre-press registration systems like M&R’s Tri-Loc and Double Tri-Loc.

The Z-Series presses feature touch-screen controlled servo-driven central off-contact and independent mechanical head off-contact, which increases individual head off-contact adjustment by a total of .79 cm (5/16”) in .04 cm (1/64”) increments. Individual head off-contact is invaluable when printing thick inks or specialty inks like gels and high-density.
