Questions & Answers

What makes the Lawson Scout ideal for home or garage screen printing?

The Lawson Scout features a compact, lightweight steel footprint that can be easily clamped or bolted onto any sturdy workbench. Its portable design allows a single operator to move it around, making it perfect for space-limited environments like home basements, garages, or classrooms.

What is the main difference between the Lawson Scout and the Lawson Proton press?

The Scout is a fixed, non-modular benchtop press utilizing dual nylon registration bolts for simple mechanical alignment. The Lawson Proton is a fully modular, industrial press designed for expanding shops that need roller-bearing registration and future station upgrades.

Can I convert a benchtop Lawson Scout into a free-standing floor press later?

Yes, you can purchase optional steel floor legs (705-107-7-EA) specifically designed for the Scout press, allowing you to convert your bench model into a free-standing floor press whenever your shop space grows.

Where can I pick up the Lawson Scout or screen printing supplies locally?

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