ON behalf of TMI and TOC Maquines Industriales, our factory in Mexico, we want to wish everybody a great 2008. 2007 was TMI's 2nd year of operation. We want to thank our dealers and our customers for helping us grow, and with a stack of orders at the factory, it looks like 2008 is going to be good. We built and exhibited our first prototype Solar 360 Exposing frame at SGIA 07, and we are going to work at enlarging and improving the model this coming year. With the world's interest focussed on alternative energy, this is an exposure technology which has been in the shadows for too long. My election to the ASPT was a surprising honour for me, but what it means to my customers is further access to screenprinting knowledge and technique. Far from being a dead or fading technology, screenprinting continues to lead as the preferred imaging method in many manufacturing, imaging, and display technologies. Sure, those shiney large format inkjets look great at the shows, and promise that ellusive 'any dummy can print' feature, but when it comes to durability, economy and adaptability, screenprinting is going to be around for a long time. At TMI, we believe in the idea that skilled people, working together with their hands, their brains, their skill, and good machines, can compete and prosper in an increasingly digital cookie cutter world. You want to print big? We offer solutions. Let us help you succeed. Bring on 2008. We're all screenprinters. We love a challenge.

The raising and lowering of the screen and squeegee mechanism is done using a foot switch. With their hands free, the printer can remove or place their print easily. Minimal ink movement occurs because of the parallel lifting and the screen staying level.

Slight pressure and a push on the one armed squeegee is all it takes. The press allows different size frames to be located and printed anywhere over the printing surface. Large format images and paper are easily accomodated.

Barb demonstrates how easy the flood is - note the fingertip control of the squeegee.
