Description

The Lawson QZE-Quartz Shuttle Flash Unit is a high-efficiency quartz flash cure system engineered to print and flash at the exact same station, eliminating the need to sacrifice a print head on your press. Built for textile print shops in St. Louis, Atlanta, and across North America, the QZE glides smoothly over platens to deliver rapid, instant-on heat using high-intensity quartz bulbs. Designed specifically for Lawson’s Mini-Trooper, Trooper, and Express EX series of automatic presses—as well as most manual presses—it speeds up flash times while drastically reducing platen heat compared to traditional infrared units. Equipped with foot-pedal activation and Lawson’s Auto-Trigger integration, the QZE Shuttle Flash prevents accidental platen scorching and saves valuable shop space.
