Questions & Answers

Will the Lawson Mini-Max automatic press fit through a standard doorway?

Yes, the Lawson Mini-Max is engineered specifically for space-constrained print shops and can fit through a standard 36-inch door opening, making it ideal for basements, garages, and small workshops.

Does the Mini-Max require professional technician installation?

No, the Mini-Max typically ships fully assembled from the factory. This eliminates expensive field installation charges, allowing you to set up the press and begin printing quickly.

What is the difference between the Mini-Max and a fully automatic press?

The Mini-Max features automated print heads to handle squeegee and floodbar strokes, while the carousel is manually rotated by the operator. This provides automated print consistency and reduces operator fatigue at a lower price point than fully automatic indexing machines.

Where can I pick up the Mini-Max press or screen printing supplies locally?

You can order online through LWG and select 1-hour local counter pickup at Lawson’s corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO, or the distribution center in Marietta, GA (Atlanta area).
