Our press spins in that direction and that is the way we load and unload do to the position of the press.

Pretty sure you can program it to print c-clockwise or clkwise. The Gaunts can

It is reversable with the touch of a button.

Diamondback with servo indexers print clockwise or counterclockwise also, I print loading on the left because of the layout of the press and dryer.

pretty sure ALL M&R presses will go both ways, just never loaded from the left no matter which way the press spun.  just what you get used to I guess.

Beg to differ.  All you have to do is bolt it to the ceiling. :o :o :o

I'm so used to the loader being to the left of print head 1 that it just looks so wrong when printing that way.  And if we would print clockwise like the video everything else would look wrong.  Funny how we get used to things a certain way and have such a hard time wrapping our head around something that works EXACTLY the same.

I tried to get a look at some of the controls and what little I saw I loved.  Although we'd rarely ever use the stroke control feature it is really cool that you can control print pressure from stroke one to stroke two.  My printer would get a kick out of that since he used to think you were supposed to drive as much ink into the shirt on the first stroke then do a lighter print stroke on the second pass to get the ink to sit on top of the shirt.  I like the digital control you have over the stroke length, those who don't have it won't miss it but if you do get it you won't want to go back to any other way.

I'd guess that's ours, but the video is gone so I can't say for sure. That press runs CW. We have a CII 1816 on the other side of the dryer. That one runs CCW. Both dump on to a Sprint 2000
