Print-A-Round FAQ

How Does It Work?

Pneumatic model - There is a cylinder that ejects a shaft, which is connected to screen frame holder.  When the (clamp shell) squeegee is brought down, a micro switch is activated forcing air into the cylinder, which pushes the screen frame holder to the left.  The pressure on the squeegee arm against the fabric / substrate causes the printing around action.

Manual Model - While the squeegee holder is pressed down on the fabric with the right hand, the left hand moves the screen holder to the left to create the print rolling of the substrate

Can I Print a Soft Plastic Ketchup Bottle?

No, because on soft substrates an air inflation device is required to make the bottle rigid for printing.  The Print-A-Round does offer this attachment.  However the Versa-Print can do the job.
