The machine features Sakurai’s original rear pick-up feeder, based on technology used in its offset presses. This ensures the screen press has stable and smooth feeding for a range of substrates.  Stream (overlapped sheets) or sheet fed (single sheet) options can be easily selected. A front feeder is also available for feeding stock such as film.

The press works at 4,000 sheets per hour when stream fed and 3,000 sheet per hour when sheet fed. It handles a minimum stock size of 240x297mm, a maximum of 1,050x750mm, and 0.075mm to 0.8mm thicknesses.

Graphics, packaging, labels, ceramic transfers and membranes can all be printed on the machine. Feed boards are designed to minimize scratching and static electricity build-up when transporting sheets.

Its squeegee and flood-coater are driven by individual cams. A two-step action helps to reduce squeegee shock onto the screen mesh. Positive down cam action means that printing pressure is evenly applied on the cylinder, which helps produce sharp dots and solid colours.

The Maestro’s screen frame can be unlocked and pulled out to the delivery end of the press allowing feed position of stock to be checked and readjusted. There is no need for registration adjustment as it will
return to the same position when the screen frame is returned.

To provide good access to the screen mesh, the delivery board can be lowered to a 90 angle. This also allows the squeegee and front coater to be fixed and unfixed easily. Delivery belts are 280mm wide.
