The Lawson Proton features a rear frame clamping system, allowing the press operator adjustable off-contact, and adjustable frame angle. The Proto also features and "clamp stablization system" that keeps the rear clamp from becoming distorted when clamping down on the screen frame. -

This model comes with a speed carousel that manual rotates if you desire for flash curing. You can also use this configuration and have 2 people printing at the same time. -
Proton #41 with Optional Floor stand
Add additional print stations anytime you want. They simple bolt in place, and there is not need for additional machine registeration. The print heads are already registered at the factory, and are independent of the speed carousel.
In addition, the Lawson Proton will save you space and money with its compact, portable and modular design. Unlike some of our screen print competitors, you'll find the Lawson Proton has many of the features of more expensive screen printing presses like the Lawson HD-MAX, yet is specifically designed for the budget-consious t-shirt printer.
Its all-steel construction and sturdy mechanical components make the Proton a great press for the new start-up shop, prototype department, school, event printer, or as a production t-shirt printer. It's small and light enough for one person to move anywhere it's needed.
The main difference between the Lawson Proton and more expensive manual textile presses is simply its price. Buy the Lawson Proton if you want a great rear-clamp t-shirt printer...and if you want to save money and space without sacrificing quality. Lots of optional features are available so you can customize the Proton to suit your specific textile screen printing needs.
